This Week in Montreal
While a lot of us are still coming down from the high experienced last night from Arcade Fire winning the award for Album of the Year at the Grammy Awards, it’s time to get back to reality and take a look at what’s on the live music agenda for this week in Montreal. While the week may be starting off a little slow, things really pick up on Wednesday night with four shows that are all worthy of some attention. And things only get better from there with performances by Akron/Family, Delicate Steve, Hey Rosetta!, Morcheeba, Think About Life, Baths and Braids later in the week. Here are all the highlights…
This Week In Montreal
This week will start off with a bang because tonight, indie rock giants, The Decemberists, will make their long awaited return to Montreal in support of their excellent new album, The King Is Dead. The rest of the week will provide us with some great local shows like, The Lindbergh Line, Couples and Reversing Falls on Tuesday at Casa Del Popolo as well as Shortpants Romance on Saturday at Divan Orange. But perhaps the hottest show of the week will be another Saturday night show, when Best Coast, Wavves and Montreal’s No Joy take the stage at the Cabaret Mile End. Here’s the full list of highlights for this week in Montreal.
Hot Hot Hot – Le Belmont – 10.16.10
The year of 2002 was a turning point for BC pop rock band Hot Hot Heat. That year, they released their critically acclaimed album, Make Up the Breakdown. They rapidly rose to the top of the charts, with singles “Bandages” and “Talk to Me, Dance With Me” on heavy rotation. But that was eight years ago and, in the music industry, that’s practically an eternity. Since then we might have heard things here and there about a new album or tour, but they have been mostly off the radar. But it’s 2010 and the band is prepared to make a revival as they headlined at Le Belmont last Saturday in Montreal, with Rich Aucoin and Hey Rosetta! on as support. Read more…
Osheaga 2010 Day 1 Recap
Day 1 of Osheaga 2010 is in the books and I think we can all safely say that it was a huge success. Great music, perfect weather, good food, lots of free stuff and a grand finale of Arcade Fire is enough to make anyone giddy, but this day was much more than a long wait for Arcade Fire to play. The day boasted a lineup of some of the hottest names in the music world today and we were there to document it all for you. Keep reading to find out how it all went down.
