This Week in Montreal
There is so much going on this week, we don’t know where to start. Tunng kicks off this busy week tonight at Casa Del Popolo. To get a little more acquainted with Tuung check out our interview with the UK experimental pop group HERE. By now, we’re pretty sure you’ve come across Aloe Blacc‘s infectious single “I Need A Dollar.” Lucky for us, the soulful Mr. Blacc will be playing at Le Belmont. Be sure to check out interview with the R&B/hip-hop sensation HERE. This week also brings us M for Montreal (including M for Metropolis), a weekend-long showcase of some of Montreal’s best exports, including The Dears, SUUNS, and Valleys. If that’s not enough to keep you occupied, keep reading for more shows happening this week around Montreal including the return of kooky Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, No Age and Land of Talk.

Interview: Tunng
A show that we have been looking forward to since it’s announcement months ago is UK experimental pop band Tunng‘s forthcoming gig at Casa Del Popolo in Montreal this Monday, November 15th. With the show less than a week away we were lucky enough to have a chance to catch up with lead Tunng member Mike Lindsay to chat about the band’s latest record, along with their influences and recent collaborations. So without further ado, here is our latest interview with Tunng. Read more…
Pop Montreal Nights: Part 2
Night two of Pop Montreal kicked off last night with a rainstorm that looked more like a monsoon. If you thought that would dampen the spirits of Montreal concert-goers last night you would be very wrong. The venues were all swarming with people last night despite the precarious weather outside. It’s going to take more than a little rain to keep us Montrealers from seeing the likes of Bear in Heaven, Holy Fuck, Clare & The Reasons, DVAS, Grimes, Pop Winds and the legendary Van Dyke Parks live in concert. We’ve got a whole bunch of pictures from an extremely busy day two at Pop Montreal 2010 after the jump.
Pop Montreal Preview – Part 2 (Thursday, Sept. 30)
The second day of Pop Montreal takes place this year on Thursday, September 30th. While day one offered us some really interesting shows we are going to go out on a limb and say day 2 at Pop Montreal this year will be the best day of the festival. One after another, we’ve got a stacked lineup on day 2 which will obviously lead to some very tough decisions on your part. We would like to try and make those decisions a little easier by giving you our picks for a busy day 2 at Pop Montreal 2010.

BSTB Celebrate Anniversary This Week
Since our inception, we have had the pleasure of working with the wonderful people at Blue Skies Turn Black. For a decade now, this Montreal concert promoter has been working extremely hard, booking bands to play Montreal that perhaps would have never stopped here in the past, further enriching our local arts scene. This weekend, Blue Skies Turn Black will be celebrating their 10 year anniversary, and they have invited Montreal music fans to the party.
Venue of the Month: Il Motore
It was a bit tough to choose our venue of the month for February, because of how many great shows are taking place throughout the city this month. But after much deliberation, we have chosen Il Motore, for the second time in three months, as our venue of the month of February.
