Meet You At The Show
The Kooks – Metropolis – 22.11.11
As the first snowfall loomed over the city on Tuesday night, two bands brought the heat to the Metropolis. The spike in temperature was due to The Postelles and The Kooks selling out the famed venue and giving their fans exactly what they came for. In retrospect, it seems fitting for the two bands to play a venue such as Metropolis considering the various incarnations and influences that have defined the site for well over one hundred years. Originally built in 1884 as a site for a skating rink, the building itself was once a cinema, a porn theater and a nightclub. The exterior is old and rustic while the interior is modern and spacious. Metropolis has taken the old and combined it with the new to create an original space with a unique feel. Why am I dissecting the history of a building we’ve all been to numerous times when most of you just wanna hear about the show?! Because just like the venue, both The Postelles and The Kooks take from the old, mix in the new and create something unique and original while all the time familiar and comfortable like the faded jeans that you toss on the floor after great rock n’ roll show.

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: 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!

On November 8th, Caroline Keating opened for The Hoof & The Heel at Casa Del Popolo. Having recently gone from performing solo to performing as a trio, Caroline Keating’s show was awaited with much anticipation and fans were not disappointed as they were treated to a fun, graceful, and intimate performance. Minutes before taking the stage, Caroline discussed with us what she is listening to these days, her upcoming album, and how she feels about playing with band members.
Interview: JF Robitaille
On Tuesday, November 8th, Meet You At The Show’s own Pamela Fillion sat down with singer-songwriter JF Robitaille over mint tea and a mocha and had a chat about his recently released album Calendar, his song writing, and how he likes to drink his coffee. He was candid, charming, and genuine just like his songs. Needless to say, interviewing JF Robitaille at Casa Del Popolo was a real pleasure.
