Phantogram – Il Motore – 12.10.10
Friday night in Montreal we had to brave the snow and the cold to get to Il Motore in time to see Phantogram who are always sure to put on a great show. After opening for a lot of big names such as The xx, Yeasayer and Zero 7 and gaining quite a reputation for putting on amazing live performances we couldn’t be more excited to see them live, yet again. Unfortunately we arrived just as opener Solar Year were finishing up their set but were happy to find out that up next was Toronto’s Bad Tits. Read more…
Phantogram – Casa Del Popolo – Saturday, July 10th, 2010
The concert-going experience is composed of several crucial elements. There is the show itself; the lights, the music, and the hush of the crowd. Then there is the conviviality of the event; the pre-show drink, the mid-show smoke, and the post-show outdoor congregation. One of the most overlooked elements is the expectations one has going into the show, and how these expectations are self-actualized or unfulfilled.

This Week in Montreal
I know we claim that every week is an exciting Montreal show week, but it’s hard not to when we’ve got some mammoth acts rolling into town. So pardon our exclamative tone, we’ll try our best to restrict our !!!!!!!!!!s to a bare minimum. Andrew Bird is one of the big ticket acts this week. With his chamber pop tunes, treasure trove of instruments and interesting socks, this is a show not to miss. Hometown heroes Wolf Parade are back, performing at Le National to promote their newest release Expo 86. While Handsome Furs, Sunset Rubdown and Frog Eyes shows have tide us over, it will be nice to see the boys back onstage again. However the fun does not end there! Keep reading for our highlights of shows happening this week, including Holy Fuck, Flaming Lips and Phantogram.
