Guide to Osheaga 2010: Day 1
We’ve gone on and on about how good this year’s Osheaga Festival is promising to be. The initial lineup boasted some incredible acts like Arcade Fire, Stars, Pavement and The National. Over the ensuing months the Osheaga team went above and beyond in booking new acts to make the lineup even better. We are now only 11 sleeps away from day 1 of this year’s Osheaga Festival and all that’s left to decide is who to see at what time. That’s where we come in. The following is a comprehensive guide to this year’s Osheaga Festival which will hopefully make some very difficult decisions a little bit easier.
This Week in Montreal
We’re knee deep in the lazy days of summer. Sometimes nothing feels as quite as good as doing nothing. While we all enjoy our afternoon drinks, the post-work naps and indecisive evening plans, sometimes we all require a little jostle to wake us up from our summer snoozes. Lucky for us, there are some rather interesting shows to keep us occupied all week long. Fool’s Gold bring their Afropop 80s style beats to Le Belmont this Tuesday. South African hip-hop group and internet sensations Die Antwoord are in town performing this Wednesday at Le National, co-headlining with Sleigh Bells. My pick of the week would have to be Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, whose lo-fi psychedelic pop numbers are sure to provide you with enough conversation starters to last you through the weekend. But, that’s not all folks… Keep on reading for more show highlights this week, including Kurt Vile and Real Estate, and Deleted Scenes.
