RIP Cafe Dekcuf

[skelter]

I just saw this news and thought of y'all. I never lived in Ottawa and didn't see many shows there so I never went to Dekcuf, but all the bands that played there played at the venues I booked in Kingston (Scherzo, Elixir, both long gone).  I have the feeling that Ottawa's scene isn't what it used to be, so this will definitely help, and I'm septical of the Live Nation opening too - might be good for touring acts but will it do much for local musicians?

It's a bummer, for sure. A dual blow to both the live music scene in general and Rideau Street specifically, which has seen a few cooler, destination businesses close in the last year amid a change in the culture downtown.

You could almost say that Dekcuf turned it around in the dne.

This is why nobody comes here anymore.
