the author literally acknowledges shes creating fetishistic content. she did my job for me. even if you exclude the amount of rape or ableism, its still BL. even without the other billions of reasons you shouldnt support an industry and normalize the fetishization of gay men

...I can’t believe a kids’ cartoon has an episode that’s all but stated (and is a lot less grislier than the real thing) about cordyceps.

WOTTS

Wotts is a unique band in the Ottawa scene, mixing beatboxing, understated guitar and synth work; this Fall, they are ramping up again, and just dropped a new video for the song 365. We caught up with members Jayem (J), MC DIMZ (MCD), Lex (L), and Rick (R) to chat about the new video, their favourite venue, and their desert island albums. Keep an eye on the band as they are set to release a new EP later this Fall.

Latest Release: Red Sky (Single, July 2018)

Upcoming shows: Stay tuned!

SA: How did wotts. come to be as a band? L: Jayem and I are part of another music project called ANTIKS. We met MC DIMZ through that, heard him beatbox, got blown away and eventually asked him to do some gigs with us. Its just a super different raw vibe with him, so we all decided to make a beatbox record together just for fun. Four albums later here we are.

SA: What bands or musicians would you cite as the biggest influences on your sound? J: We all bring a mixed bag, which I think comes across when you listen to our stuff. My biggest influences are probably AIR, Childish Gambino, Tyler the Creator and Tame Impala. What I love about all of them is that they experiment, but still manage to have this accessibility and timelessness to their sound. MCD: So many! Beastie boys, Fat boys, Pink Floyd, Guns n Roses, Beatles, OutKast, Fugees, James Brown, Queen, Danny Brown, BADBADNOTGOOD and many many many more. L: Mine run across the spectrum. I grew up listening to a lot of music that had this theme of quiet desperation, where it acknowledged things were shitty, but at the same time, it was fun and gave hope that everything was going to be ok. I think I carry a lot of that into this. On the rap side specifically, Beastie Boys, Eminem, Mannie Fresh, Black Milk and J Dilla are some of my biggest influences. R: Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age and The Rolling Stones.

SA: Thus far in your career, what has been your biggest success? L: Getting on the Bluesfest bill in 2016. Shouts to having a catered dress room, where I chugged 4 Monster Energy drinks and was jittery and shaking like a Chihuahua as I took the stage. J: Probably the showcase at Canadian Music Week in Toronto last year.  Love Ottawa and the gigs we’ve done here but being part of a legendary festival like CMW was pretty dope.

SA: On the other hand, what is the biggest challenge you have faced, and how have you dealt with it? J: If I had to pick one its getting heard. Nowadays it’s easy for anyone to record and distribute which is fantastic, but the flip side to that is oversaturation. That struggle can lead to shitty things like bands paying to play or buying views in order to get noticed which sucks. But we respect the grind and understand why some artists feel like they have to cram their stuff down peoples throats, that's just not how we want to do it. So we deal with it the only way we can, by making music we'd listen to. If there's an audience for it cool, if not, it is what it is.

SA: How do you guys approach the song-writing process? J: I think part of our charm is that we generally have no idea what we’re doing or a set way of doing things. Ultimately that gives us lots of room to experiment, but it can also be infuriating for ‘traditional musicians’ that work with us in the studio. To avoid all that and keep things fun we started to self-produce and self-record more and more. I produced our new EP (rivver), but moving forward I can see us all taking the reigns on songs.

SA: What are your thoughts on the Ottawa music scene? R: The Ottawa music scene, and surrounding National Capital Region, is a "get what you give" locale. We don't have the luxury of being in a place where music industry reps can swoop in and lift one to stardom. It is a gritty, do-it-yourself, scene. This has created a great dynamic where local venues, bands, businesses, and even some city politicians, all work together to build a community of music in an economic and cultural vision. From full festivals throughout entire neighborhoods (i.e. Porchfest, Marvest, Etc.), to pop-up public recording studios (Lansdowne Innovation Pod), community radio stations, and DIY basement venues, the National Capital Region music scene is one of growth and potential. We are positioned to be a driving force of music within the Canadian landscape and abroad, it will take time, but we have the right attitude and the right people.

SA: Does the band have any favourite venues to play, and why? MCD: LIVE on Elgin point blank it's like headquarters, nothing but good vibes! R: 100% it’s LIVE on Elgin. Great ownership, location, beer selection and sound. It's a good size venue that knows how to treat musicians.

SA: You guys just released a video for a new single called 365. Can you tell us a bit about the making of the video, and what served as inspiration for it? J: Ya we did! The video is for a track off our new EP rivver. It was completely DIY and we had a blast making it. Also shouts to our friends who have cameos, it was a legit team effort. It all came together pretty quickly and I feel like it captures the spirit of the song. The track is about procrastinating and that hollow feeling you get when months/years pass and you feel like you haven’t really accomplished anything. Voices keep telling you what to do, you know what you have to do, but for whatever reason you just don’t do it.

SA: A question for fun: your three deserted island albums. What would they be and why? MCD: Queen II (Queen) because it would remind me to have a great time regardless of my circumstances and Exodus (Bob Marley) to keep me feelin irie . My third is any 90s Greatest Hits record that has Eiffel 65’s Blue joint on it. R: Kid A (Radiohead) to help me sleep, Catch Thirtythree (Meshuggah) to keep me energized for hunting and scavenging and Bob Marley’s Greatest Hits for post hunting/scavenging chill time. J: Talkie Walkie (AIR) for stargazing, Mm. Food (MF DOOM) to remind me of the days when I had a stable food source and My Dick’s Double Full-Length Release (My Dick) to satisfy my artistic side. L: Triple LP of nothing but loud air horn sounds so I could blare to alert rescuers of my whereabouts.

SA: Finally, what comes next for wotts. as we near the end of 2018 and beyond? Best of luck! J: Thanks!!! We’ll be dropping our EP rivver this fall and we’ve already started making plans for a follow up. We took a pretty big break from playing shows in 2018 to focus on new material, so next year we’re planning on getting back out there so stay tuned, stay blessed!
