Real Estate
This Week in Montreal
We’re knee deep in the lazy days of summer. Sometimes nothing feels as quite as good as doing nothing. While we all enjoy our afternoon drinks, the post-work naps and indecisive evening plans, sometimes we all require a little jostle to wake us up from our summer snoozes. Lucky for us, there are some rather interesting shows to keep us occupied all week long. Fool’s Gold bring their Afropop 80s style beats to Le Belmont this Tuesday. South African hip-hop group and internet sensations Die Antwoord are in town performing this Wednesday at Le National, co-headlining with Sleigh Bells. My pick of the week would have to be Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, whose lo-fi psychedelic pop numbers are sure to provide you with enough conversation starters to last you through the weekend. But, that’s not all folks… Keep on reading for more show highlights this week, including Kurt Vile and Real Estate, and Deleted Scenes.

Cloud Nothings Blow Into Town
Over the past year lo-fi pop has grown into quite the monster of a trend. Lo-fi pop rockers like Girls, Vivian Girls, and WAVVES have managed to captivate listeners with their fuzzy and hazy bedroom sounds. It appears the trend is far from abating. As much you might say you are sick of low-production buzz bands, how can you explain how a new crop lo-fi darlings like Dum Dum Girls or Best Coast are making it in the big time? Lo-fi pop/punk/garage rock, whatever you may call it is here to stay. So where does Cloud Nothings fit into all of this?

Woods + Real Estate – Club Lambi – Saturday March 13th, 2010
Before Saturday night’s show at Club Lambi featuring Valleys, Real Estate, and Woods, I was curious about something. How many people would Real Estate and Woods pull in, in the former’s first trip to Montreal? As it said on Facebook, the tickets were selling fast and that proved to be true given the turn out last night, as the venue was packed.
This Week in Montreal
What a week of shows we have ahead of us. Kicking off tonight with Montreal’s own singer/songwriter David Martel, who will be playing some brand new songs from a his forthcoming EP, the week just get’s better and better culminating on Sunday night in the first night of Joanna Newsom’s two sold out shows at the Ukrainian Federation. You can see our full list of shows for this week along with the rest of the month by clicking here, but here are some highlights for this week.

Fucked Up, Kurt Vile, Charlotte Gainsbourg, The Wooden Sky, Woods, Taken by Trees, Real Estate, The Clientele, Ruby Suns, Stars and more!
Girls Show Tonight: Cancelled!
bad news for all you Girls fans. It has been announced that due to border issues the band has had to cancel their show tonight with Real Estate at Il Motore. This is very sad! You border guards should be ashamed of yourselves, robbing us Montrealers of a great performance. We can only hope that there will be a rescheduled date sometime soon.
Venue of the Month: Il Motore
If you want to set up a tent outside any venue in Montreal during the month of November, it’s pretty safe to say that Il Motore is the place to be. Boasting a modest 16 shows throughout the month, this bar and salle-a-concert will play host to some of the best artists around today. We’ve got Apostle of Hustle, The Most Serene Republic, J Tillman, Fuck Buttons, Growing, Little Dragon and Miles Anthony Benjamin. And that’s just to name a few. Let’s take a look at some of the other highlights.
