The Love Machine’s 15th Anniversary of Sweater Weather

It was one of those moments where the people may have changed, but the music hasn’t.

For three hours at Club SAW, Ottawa’s The Love Machine brought a wave of warm nostalgia as they celebrated the 15th anniversary of Sweater Weather, performing the album from beginning to end.
It was a wonderful night of seeing old friends, singing along, and reliving the memories tied to those songs.

Opening the evening, Chase Van Dusen performed a short set of acoustic pop-rock tunes before The Love Machine took the stage.
The second act, My Friend PJ (formerly of Brights), delivered a solid run of alternative pop-rock tracks.
And kicking off the show was Zoo Legacy who I managed to catch the last song of their quick 10-minute set.
