This Week in Montreal
After a little break, This Week in Montreal is back in full force with a slew of exciting shows on the horizon. It’s difficult for us at MYATS to contain our excitement over tomorrow’s Sufjan Stevens show. In town to promote his new LP The Age of Adz, expect nothing short of spectacular from the mysterious Mr. Stevens. If you’re in the mood to let off some steam, Dan Deacon‘s Wednesday show at Cabaret Mile End may do the trick – caution not for the claustrophobic. Finally, Deerhunter are in town performing at La Tulipe on Sunday. While the ensemble’s side projects, such as Atlas Sound and Lotus Plaza, have tided us over, we’re excited to see the group back together and touring for the glorious new LP Halcyon Digest. Keep on reading for more highlights of shows happening around town this week, including Avi Buffalo, Blonde Redhead and The Drums.

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.
