Ottawa/Samfox/Spirit of the Bear

Singer Dale DeLong and guitarist Tim Czajka formed the local indie rock act Ottawa in 2013 after their previous band, the Royaltons, dissolved. They had a good run with the Royaltons, which played around town from 2007 to 2010. But they've had an even better run with Ottawa, which has built a bigger local following and produced more material. New tracks such as "No More Love Songs" show off singer Dale DeLong's powerhouse voice and feature lacerating guitars and intense musical swells. Expect to hear plenty of unreleased tunes at tonight's show since the band has just finished recording a new album. (Niesel)
