  • Bio

    The Montelongos were born from the heart, mind and many years of 4-tracking of eponymous frontman Omar Montelongo. This Ottawa, Ontario quartet is driven by an indie-rock sensibility infused with the alliterative preoccupations of the sensitive soul: love, lust and loss. The resulting sound is a catchy balance of tastefully emotive lyrics over a contrasting ebb and flow of melodic chords and powerhouse crunches. Maybe you are the type who likes to gush and swoon over heart-on-your sleeve lyrics. Perhaps you are more inclined to bop your head and tap your toes along to catchy hooks and riffs. Possibly you are the kind who likes to hit the dance floor and get lost in a moment of musical bliss. Regardless of what call you answer, The Montelongos will dial your number.

    Thanks again for adding Feed the Homeless 5 next week on Wed. Nov. 25th at Zaphod's starring Arms of the Girl.  ** Early Show 8PM*** 

    As long as 200 folks hear about it and decide to come, it will pay for a meal for 500 homeless on Xmas.

    Admission is just 5$, which pays for 3 homeless to eat dinner on Christmas.

    Plus it's always a lot of fun.. Good time, great cause!
