Permanent Stains

About Me

Formed in Ottawa in 1987, we existed mostly hypothetically for the next few years until we got some instruments. You may remember us if you were around in the Ottawa punk scene of the early 90s; we stood out for our homoerotic stage antics, crowd confrontation and creative use of kitchen appliances as instruments. Since 1994 we all live in different cities, but we reunite sporadically for shows that always kick ass. New EP Essential Jazz came out in 2006, stay tuned for 20th anniversary shows in 2007.
