Nightwood
This Week In Montreal
The stars are coming out this week in Montreal. Starting off tonight with Adele‘s highly anticipated and sold out performance at L’Olympia and continuing throughout the week with performances by A-trak, Lykke Li, Grimes and Arctic Monkeys, we are in store for some great shows this week. But if you’d like to check out some of Montreal’s best local acts, we suggest you check out First You Get The Sugar on Tuesday at Divan Orange, UN, Reversing Falls and Nightwood on Thursday at Casa Del Popolo and Miracle Fortress on Friday at the Torn Curtain. Here’s all the highlights for the week:
CKUT Presents: The Montreal Sessions
This March, Montreal’s own Nightwood will be the artist-in-residence at the McGill run radio station CKUT 90.3 FM. From 3-5 PM every Tuesday this March Nightwood will take over the airwaves but not only will they be playing tunes for us, they will also be bringing in some very special guests.

Exclusive: Nightwood Offer Up New Track
Nightwood are a Montreal based trio composed of gal pals Amber Goodwyn and Erin Ross on guitars and drummer Jeremy MacCuish (of Parlovr/Cotton Mouth fame). For the past few years they have slowly been building a name for themselves playing at many of Montreal’s various hot spots and a few others around Canada. With one full length LP already under their belt, the band have been toiling away on some new material that breaks away from the themes we have grown used to on Carta Marina. They have recently finished recording a brand new piece called “Carve a path like a valley through the land” and we’ve got it for you not only to listen to, but as a free download. Read more…
Montreal Band Round Up: Volume 2
Last week we posted our first ever Montreal band round up, keeping you up to date on some of our favourite Montreal indie bands. After the article went live we received more updates from Montreal bands that we would like to share with you. So you can consider this a continuation of our first Montreal band round up, or an entirely new round up. Whatever may be the case, here’s what’s going on with a few more of our favourite Montreal bands. Read more…
Parlovr Unveil Cover Art and Tracklist, Tour China
This has been a long time coming. Let’s face it, Parlovr are the next big thing to come out of Montreal, and they haven’t even released an album yet. Well that will all change when the band finally puts out their debut self-titled debut LP June 8th on Dine Alone Records. We’ve got the album art and tracklist for you after the jump.
Green Room Suffers Electrical Fire
The beloved Montreal concert hall and bar, which is nestled inconspicuously on St. Laurent street between Maguire and St. Viateur has suffered an electrical fire on the morning of Sunday, April 16th. Until further notice all shows at Green Room will be moved.
This Week in Montreal
We’ve got yet another incredible week of shows lined up in Montreal this week. While you may notice the week will start off a little slow, by the end of the week there are so many great shows happening you’re not gonna know what to do with yourself. Take this Thursday for example. Are you going to go see Horse Feathers at Divan Orange, Timber Timbre & The Luyas at La Tulipe, The Album Leaf & Sea Wolf at the Cabaret or Joseph Arthur at La Sala Rossa. Not to mention Lullabye Arkestra is also playing at Casa Del Popolo the same night! These are just a handful of shows, all happening this week in Montreal.

Murder Ford Monument – Self Titled
Who was it that said music is most meaningful when it arouses some of your deepest emotions? I think that might have been me, but either way, Montreal collective Murder Ford Monument‘s debut, self-titled LP is one of those albums that is best enjoyed when you invest yourself in it, rather than having it as casual background music.
