The Ethics

Thanks for a great time at The Rainbow last night! We really had a blast and launched the new album in fine form with great company.

We’re off to Montreal now to play at Mordecai’s old haunt, Grumpy’s Bar. Cheers! The Ethics.

As we’ve mentioned at recent shows and here on the site, we’ve recently wrapped up our third studio album and will be releasing it in style with a big show at the legendary Rainbow Bistro in the Byward Market on Friday, October 14.

Here’s the gig poster, coming soon to a lamp post near you:

And here is the event page on Facebook.

We’ll be joined by special guest Meredith Luce and her awesome band which includes our good friend Dean Watson, who happens to be the producer of the album we will be celebrating. It’s shaping up to be a special night – hope to see you there.

These are exciting times for the Ethics. We are very happy to announce the upcoming release of our third album, What I Did For Modern Love. It was recorded this past spring in Ottawa and we’re very proud of the results. It will be released on CD in a nice digipack – we’ve just recently received the shipment of discs from the manufacturer and they look hot! – and as a digital album.

Here’s a sneak peak of the cover art:

This is the band photo from the inside the fold:

Wendy Treverton did an awesome job on the layout and illustration.

The official release party will be on October 14 and we’ll be celebrating at The Rainbow in Ottawa, with special guests Meredith Luce and her band. Stay tuned for more details about the album and release over the next few weeks.

We return to Irene’s Saturday July 9 to share the stage with Royal Ottawa. We were blown away by these guys last fall and can’t wait to share the stage with them again. Cover will be $7.

Irene’s is at 885 Bank Street. The street is under construction but don’t worry, there’s free parking available at Landsdowne, one block South.

Hello friends. Just a quick post to let you know that our next gig is Saturday April 9th 9:00pm at The Downstairs Club at The Clocktower (575 Bank St) w/ The Soirée (Ottawa). $8 cover. Hope to see you there.

As Ottawa Magazine has kindly pointed out, this will be a great chance to hear the “Ottawa sound”, if there ever was one, in full effect.

Slow down, Molasses started over the summer of 2006, at first it was just a few quiet songs and day dreams of lost blues and ocean songs. A couple tepid attempts at solo shows were made, Neil was covered, so was Low. Between these shows and a few too many late night’s out like minded co-conspirators were found, first drums, and keyboards, soon enough bass and banjo, lap steel and violin. Now a seven piece consisting of members & ex-members of some of Saskatoon’s finest bands, there are still the same quiet melancholy songs, but now the occasional noisy excursion or anthemic build appears, letting lo-fi indie rock songs and alt-country rave ups sit nicely next to late night lullaby’s and a lazy falsetto drawl.
