  • Bio

    The Bruitals story so far: The Bruitals were born in Ottawa in 2007, but their musical ideas came from multiple continents, and multiple previous bands, including Posterslogan (Ottawa), The Garages of Desire, and Breeze Lorries (Adelaide, Australia), while recent addition Dave Wong is a veteran of too many Ottawa bands to mention. The Bruitals have performed in many of Ottawa's best-loved venues including The Elmdale, Irene's, and Zaphod Beeblebrox. In 2012, The Bruitals launched their first ever EP Here come the Bruitals at favourite Ottawa watering hole, the Elmdale Tavern. Here Come the Bruitals was recorded at Little Bullhorn studios, Ottawa, under the steady hand of Dave Draves. The EP has enjoyed generous airplay on Ottawa radio station CKCU. "[Pretty Friends] is a damn fine song by any rock and roll measure. Like the others on the five-song EP... This is rock and roll for grown ups, and to this summer, midway point I've heard none better in 2012... four stars out of five" - Peter Simpson, arts-editor-at-large for The Ottawa Citizen Full Review on The Big Beat "2012's best discs will almost certainly include upcoming efforts by Kathleen Edwards as well as local rockers The Bruitals and, fingers crossed, Fiftymen" - The Wig Connect with The Bruitals on facebook

    New recordings of the Bruitals produced last week by Dave Draves (Little Bullhorn Productions) are online now.  There are two different mixes of the song "Angelina" and the Bruitals want to know which you prefer.  Let us know what you think in the comments or by mail.


    Cheers!

    What's goin' on The Bruitals? Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. May you always have stables of horses to service your needs. As the bliss slowly rises in my incandescent eluxulator, your mere presence has a euphoric effect upon me. The expanse of your beauty is a void no universe could ever fill. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. I keep searching for you between the cushions. Your eyes show as many deep and full shades of fire as a volcano in heat. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. The music that flows from your instruments overwhelms me with creativity. I sense wild vapors of sweet champagne in your larynx. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem.

The Bruitals story so far: The Bruitals were born in Ottawa in 2007, but their musical ideas came from multiple continents, and multiple previous bands, including Posterslogan (Ottawa), The Garages of Desire, and Breeze Lorries (Adelaide, Australia), while recent addition Dave Wong is a veteran of too many Ottawa bands to mention. The Bruitals have performed in many of Ottawa’s best-loved venues including The Elmdale, Irene’s, and Zaphod Beeblebrox. In 2012, The Bruitals are back to launch their first ever EP Here come the Bruitals at favourite Ottawa watering hole, the Elmdale Tavern. Here Come the Bruitals was recorded at Little Bullhorn studios, Ottawa, under the steady hand of Dave Draves. Draves masterfully captures the meaty no-nonsense live sound of The Bruitals - while graciously adding his own tasty nuggets of keys and percussion. The EP has enjoyed generous airplay on Ottawa radio station CKCU. "[Pretty Friends] is a damn fine song by any rock and roll measure. Like the others on the five-song EP...
