I started a new job this week at the Ottawa International Airport. Even with a 4:30am wake up call, with bands like Lifestory:Monologue and Brighter Brightest in town, a guy has to know his priorities...and sleep was definitely not on the list.

Two of my all-time favourite bands, The Flatliners and Living With Lions visited the capital city along with friends Broadway Calls and UK's The Arteries for the best show I've been to since moving here. There's something about being able to sing the words to every song that makes a concert so kick ass. There were also some fun times to be had at The Dom after the show.

Shad drops another inspirational track.
