Wooden Shjips – La Sala Rossa – 08.11.11
Last night was a frenzy of pedal-heavy guitars and progressive tunes with hints of 70′s rock that came together to make a perfect blend. San Francisco’s Wooden Shjips were joined by Birds of Avalon and local favorites The High Dials at La Sala Rossa.
The Sea and Cake – La Sala Rossa – 07.11.2011
I knew something was different about this show as soon as I entered the familiar Sala Rossa venue – it wasn’t the usual young crowd that I was used to. However, I immediately realized that these guys have been playing together for nearly a decade! The Sea and Cake were back in Montreal and ready to rock like it was the ’90s.
Sweet Mother Logic – La Sala Rossa – 04.11.11
La Sala Rossa hosted a peaceful, yet truly deep show last night. The entire audience packed into the venue and were present nice and early, in order to catch all of Sweet Mother Logic‘s album launch. Armen at the Bazaar‘s synth-based, blissful tunes started off the night in a perfectly pleasant manner, only to be topped off by more great music. Read more…

Osheaga 2011: Day 3
Day 3 at Osheaga 2011 may go down in history as one of the best days in Osheaga history.

Our trooper photographer Amelia Robitaille was back on day three to fight her way to the front of as many stages as possible to grab these fantastic photos for you. Please enjoy some photos from the third and final day of Osheaga 2011. Read more…
Osheaga 2011: Day 1
The skies over Montreal opened up last night with one of the most impressive lightning storms of the year thus far. Thankfully the rain didn’t start until the music over at Parc Jean Drapeau had stopped. The 2011 edition of Montreal’s Osheaga Festival is well underway and our own Amelia Robitaille was there to catch all the action, so here are some photos from day 1 at Osheaga 2011.

Kurt Vile + Woods – La Sala Rossa – 12.07.11
Tuesday, July 12 2011, was the highly anticipated Kurt Vile and the Violators and Woods show at La Sala Rossa. By 9:30 p.m., all the tickets were already sold out and there was a sulking crowd outside the venue hoping to perhaps gain entrance later on during the night. Kurt Vile has definitely come a long way because, just last year, he was opening up for F*cked Up at Sala Rossa to a crowd less than half the size of yesterday’s.
The Dodos + The Antlers – La Tulipe – 15.06.11
La Tulipe was buzzing Wednesday night for the highly anticipated show put on by Californian indie-folk-pop band The Dodos and Brooklyn-based dream pop outfit The Antlers. While the photographer and I unfortunately missed openers, Gauntlet Hair, by the time we arrived the audience was hyped and ready for The Antlers’ ambient, reverberant harmonizing bliss.
