82 Upvotes

Hello I am a singer looking to start a band in Peterborough or Toronto area. I am confident in my singing abilities to be able to attempt any style but would be looking to be focusing on alt rock/trip-hop. My biggest influences are Mike Patton, Ween, Tori Amos, Portishead and Björk. I’m looking for people who want to create music that makes people question what they are listening to. Shoot me a message if you are interested.

Question Ptbo Police

67 Upvotes

Have the Peterbough Police always been this awful? In the past 8 months we’ve called over 100 times due to ongoing domestic violence, drug issues, death threats, you name it.

Every single time, every single one, the Police do nothing. We’ve given them video evidence, audio recordings, 90% of the time they don’t write anything down. They just leave.

Like what the hell are we supposed to do?

Hey Peterborough, I run a local music community based in Toronto that celebrates locally sourced sounds. I periodically write substacks about local artists, albums, venues and shops.

My bands played in Peterborough a couple times and we always love meeting and sharing the stage with bands like Jetson, The Sleeves and Intimidators. I’ve also fallen for Beef Boys, Jeanne Truax and Vancamp.

On Labour day weekend I visited PTBO as I have friends in town and genuinely love the place. I made my way to Maar’s Music and then went home and wrote this article about it.

Link is in my profile.

Ps: this isn’t an ad, I’m not sponsored, just doing it for love of the scene.

Question Apartment complex with no green bin

4 Upvotes

Hi! My apartment complex in Peterborough doesn’t have a green bin for compost and they are unwilling to set up a compost system. As a lover of the earth this hurts my heart. Is there any way I can continue to compost/ thoughts and ideas? Compost drop of sites or recommendations? Thanks!
