Free Download of the Week: Sia – “You’ve Changed”
Sia is all over our front page today. It’s okay though, because she’s a cutie pie, and she also makes some pretty sweet music. Not only is Sia’s fourth full length LP, We Are Born, set to hit stores on June 7th but this Friday, April 30th, Sia will be coming to Montreal to play some songs for us at Club Soda. So to celebrate all of this, our song of the week is a brand new track from Sia’s new album.
Efterklang – La Sala Rossa – Friday, March 5th, 2010
Last night, La Sala Rossa provided the backdrop for Danish band Efterklang, with homegrown band Burls opening. The space began to fill up early, everyone eager for the show to begin. By the time Burls entered the stage, the room had begun to buzz with anticipation.
Surfer Blood – Il Motore – Friday, March 5th, 2010
You could say I had only some expectations for last night’s “festival” of rock music at Il Motore. Headlining band Surfer Blood was obviously the main reason for the large turnout and although their rising popularity in the indie rock world isn’t exactly a secret, I almost felt like there was something to be desired from this band going into last night. Expectations were not high, nor were they low, but I’ll put it this way: the show packed quite a punch.
Coeur de Pirate – Le National – Friday, February 5th
Last night, Beatrice Martin, or as most know her, Coeur de Pirate played the first of two completely sold out shows at Le National in what will be her last two Montreal shows for a long time, as she will be touring Canada and Europe until well into June. There was a buzz in the air as the hall began to fill up, the lights began to dim, and opener Jimmy Hunt took the stage.
