Interview: Current Swell
As Current Swell are making their way around the Eastern parts of Canada, our lovely MYATS member Christelle got to ask band-member Davers Lang a few questions about their new album, as well as their growth as a band, and their influences. We’re probably just as excited as you are for them to head up to Montreal with tour-mates Michou in a couple of days, but in the meantime, here’s an interview to hold us off for a bit!
Interview: The Hoof and the Heel
Harris and Christine, the dynamic duo that make up The Hoof & The Heel, took a few minutes before their show Tuesday night to chat with us on that really comfy couch at Casa Del Popolo. We spoke about the bands they listen to, their creative side projects, and their upcoming album. Read on to find out more.
New Videos
As the end of August approaches, musicians from all over the world begin to release new material for fans to enjoy. Some highly anticipated albums we can’t wait for are St. Vincent’s Strange Mercy, Blitzen Trapper’s American Goldwing, Rachael Yamagata’s next album, Snow Patrol’s Called Out in the Dark EP and Feist’s Metals. In this post, we have some sneak peek of Snow Patrol and Feist’s new music.
Local Sounds: The T.E.A Band
This is the first post for our brand new series of features on some of Montreal’s greatest local bands. The streets of Montreal are flooded with amazing musicians who often don’t get their well-deserved time in the spotlight, so these posts are dedicated to showing our readers what they’ve been missing and where and when you can see some of our best local bands playing live.
Here you’ll find a comprehensive list of concerts big and small that will be taking place throughout the city of Montreal during the month of December. This list has been compiled from various sources around the web and will constantly change as new shows are announced or more information becomes available. If you know about a show that isn’t on this list or if you would like us to add your band’s show please send us an email at info@meetyouattheshow.com with the subject: “SHOW LISTING” and please provide us with all the details and we will get it up ASAP. So without further ado, here’s what’s happening in December:

Interview: Chilly Gonzales
Trying to describe Chilly Gonzales’ character is almost impossible. He is a pianist, a producer, a composer, an entertainer, but even that is just the tip of the iceberg. This fall, Gonzales released his latest LP Ivory Tower (Arts & Crafts) which is also a feature length film. He was in Montreal last September to play some of the new material at Le Cabaret Mile-End. Our own Camille Gervais had a chance to catch up with Gonzales to talk about the album/film, his summer, money and his future plans. Read more…
Saturday Video Parade!
It’s time for another Saturday Video Parade! This week we’ve got a a really mixed bag. Antony & The Johnsons have just released this incredibly weird yet intriguingly beautiful video for their song “The Spirit Was Gone” from their brand new album, Swanlights. Also, if there was an award for the band that continually manages to put out some of the most entertaining videos out there it would have to go Foals. Just check out their new video for the song “Blue Blood” from their latest album, Total Life Forever, and you’ll see what we mean. And for all you cat lovers out there, check out Holy Fuck‘s new video for “Red Lights”.

Sally Seltmann – Le Cagibi – Thursday, June 17th 2010
I’ve been told that I have rather morose taste in music. Yeah I’ll be the first to admit I tend to gravitate towards the darker end of the musical spectrum. Growing up on Wilco, The Smiths, and The Velvet Underground, I mostly forewent the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC phase (but in all honestly I had a weird fascination with 98°, gross I know). However I have several dark secrets in my cultural closet. Along with my love for reality dating shows and the Olsen Twins… I love saccharine girl pop. I’m not talking about Miley Cyrus or Christina Aguilera here, but – in my defense – the wholesome and heartwarming singer/songwriter stuff. The warm and fuzzy stuff that makes you want to be Zooey Deschanel twirling hoola hoops or Feist setting off fireworks. So when I came across Sally Seltmann I hit the jackpot. Seeing Sally Seltmann perform this Thursday was like a dose of musical Prozac. Read more…
