Future Islands + VALLEYS – Casa Del Popolo – 05.06.11
I marched up St. Laurent on Sunday night for the Future Islands, VALLEYS and Plucky Walker show, sweating in the heat and afraid I’d be late. But, being the dedicated writer I am, I made it to Casa Del Popolo in plenty of time, long before the show began. The showroom at Casa is pleasantly contradictory, with a beautiful, decadent ceiling, light-bulbs topped with jars that give off an eery, speak-easy glow and very current, politically-charged posters protesting tar sands and uranium mining.

Surfer Blood + …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead – La Tulipe – 01.05.11
First closest day to real live Montreal summer and I walk into a terribly empty room. La Tulipe, a venue usually suited for bands that have found that they’ve gone a little popular among the unpopular crowd, is now scarce, with a decent set up at the merch table, and a local act happily tearing up the stage.

Hunx And His Punx – La Sala Rossa – 26.04.11
Tuesday afternoon, I walk in to start my usual two-hour college radio show (here’s the plug: tune in to Weird Era, Tuesdays from 2pm-4pm, on CJLO.com: 1690AM). Here’s the second plug. Right before my show, my friend Kelly Kay (who I should note is fairly cool) hosts her show Cut Your Hair and Get a Job. So I walk into the station, and the first thing I ask Kelly is, “Hey, what is this?” because whatever she’s playing is in the middle of jamming some solid rockabilly guitar. She calls it Hunx and His Punx, and the limited social square of my brain clicks, and I remember that they are planning a show that very night. Read more…
Tonight’s The Night!

Come celebrate this holiday season with us at a very special MYATS charity event, TONIGHT, at the quaint Cagibi (St. Laurent corner St. Viateur). The holiday fun will begin around 7:00 PM and the first few to arrive will receive a special surprise! Read more…
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…
