The Pomptet + TEA & Co – O Patro Vys – 10/01/12
Walking into a busy venue on a weekday tends to make you forget what day it really is. So when people walked into the O Patro Vys last night, it was impossible to think it was actually a Tuesday, and that most people probably had class or work to go to the next day. However, any worrying academic or financial thought was flushed out for a few hours, as the crowd of friends and fans alike gathered around the little show space to support the sweet, amicable, and ever-growing bands of the night.

Preview: Timber Timbre – Église St-Jean Baptiste – Tonight!
Big surprise! The awe-striking Timber Timbre and lovely Agnes Obél are going to throw one heck of a life changing experience of a show for anyone who’s been dying to hear a band play in a cathedral; also known as me. Albeit, I believe we’re all excited to see this amazing performance happen in a beautiful, immense church, with one of the most haunting and eerily beautiful acts. I could not have thought of a better band to play such a venue. If you’re second-guessing your attendance, don’t even think about it. Get off that work stool, dress weather appropriate, and please join in on the magic! Read more…

The Sheepdogs – Cabaret Mile-End – 29.11.11
The Sheepdogs and Monster Truck pulled up outside Le Cabaret du Mile End for the Montreal stop on their Canadian tour to showcase a little of their respective hometowns for a hungry crowd. A wet and chilly Tuesday night did nothing dampen the spirits of the bands’ fan base, which ranged from young to old, frat boy to fan girl, and everyone in between. Given the success of The Sheepdogs media and tour driven journey, it was no surprise to see some music industry types surveying the open concept venue and anxiously awaiting the arrival of the only unsigned band to ever grace the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Dr. Hook would have been proud. Read more…
