Iceland
Interview: Active Child
Rising dream-pop act Active Child was kind enough to take some time out of his bus ride through a snow storm in Washington to have a chat with us. We spoke to Pat Grossi about his childhood, his beginnings as a musician and future musical plans. Take a look at our interview!
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…
Interview: Seabear
It’s pretty well known that Iceland has a very interesting and rich music scene. And we’re not just talking about Sigur Rós and Bjork. More and more these days we are hearing from new and great Icelandic bands. One of these great bands is Seabear. Before their show in Montreal we had a chance to sit down with a couple of members from the band to chat about music, Iceland and how things are different than here in North America. Keep reading to check out our latest interview with Seabear.
Before The Show: Seabear – Green Room – Tuesday, March 30th, 2010
I don’t think we’re the only ones out there who love Icelandic music. In fact, our first review ever was múm and Sin Fang Bous who played Montreal’s Le National on October 26th, 2009. During a short chat that I had with Sin Fang Bous (Sindri Már Sigfússon) at that show I found out that he had recently been working on some music with his band Seabear, which would eventually turn into their new album, We Built A Fire. Well, Seabear will be making a stop in Montreal next Tuesday, March 30th at Green Room (moved from L’escogriffe) to play some brand new songs, making this a show you may not want to miss.
Get ready, Jónsi is coming to Montreal!
Sigur Rós fans listen up! Contrary to previous belief, Sigur Rós are not releasing an album this year; they will actually be taking an indefinite hiatus (!!), due to interference from side projects and family. But, there is hope in this time of despair! Jónsi Birgisson, who fronts the band, will be going on tour in support of his forthcoming and much-anticipated debut solo album, Go. He will be making a stop in our beautiful city on May 2nd, at Metropolis.
