This Week In Montreal
While last week was a bit of a quiet week for shows, the Montreal concert scene gets back into full swing this week with a number of great shows. Wednesday is an especially busy night with Jeff Mangum’s highly anticipated sold out show at Cabaret Mile End, but that’s not the only show happening on Wednesday night. We’ve also got Dom and Honheehonhee playing at Il Motore and The Naked & Famous and Winter Gloves playing at La Sala Rossa.

David Martel Plays New Song Live In The Old Port
Montreal singer/songwriter David Martel has just released a new video that he and his band (which is now apparently called Awesome Pants) recorded recently in the Old Port of Montreal. With the weather getting colder by the day, the lovely new song is aptly titled “Winter” and they use as a backdrop the massive abandoned grain elevators in the old port.
