Osheaga 2011: Day 3
Day 3 at Osheaga 2011 may go down in history as one of the best days in Osheaga history. Hour after hour and band after band, Sunday started on a high and ended on an even higher high as the 2011 edition of the festival came to a close in grandiose fashion. Our trooper photographer Amelia Robitaille was back on day three to fight her way to the front of as many stages as possible to grab these fantastic photos for you. Please enjoy some photos from the third and final day of Osheaga 2011. Read more…

This Week In Montreal
While there isn’t much going on in the city tonight, strap your boots on because from Tuesday on the week will just get better and better. Tuesday, Friday and Saturday will be especially tough days to choose a concert since there are at least three great options each night but if you are looking for a show on Wednesday night we’d like to turn your attention to the Arbutus Records fundraiser that will be going on at Casa Del Popolo. The local label will be raising money for the release of Tonstartssbandht‘s Now I Am Become LP that will be released in May and along with Andy Summers from the band performing, Makeout Videotape and Pop Winds will also play. Here’s the full list of highlights for this week.

This Week in Montreal
We’ve got another great week of shows lined up for this week in Montreal. The week kicks off with Yann Tiersen who is well known for his film score composition work (Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amelie Poulain, Good Bye Lenin!), and just keeps going with great show after great show. Also taking the stage this week in Montreal will be Tennis, Dum Dum Girls, The Luyas, Jenn Grant, Asobi Seksu, Brahms and more. Take a look at all of this weeks highlights after the jump.
Saturday Video Parade!
We’ve got some heavy hitters on this week’s Saturday Video Parade. Radiohead surprised everyone at the beginning of the week when they announced that they would release their latest album, The King of Limbs, only four days later. That day was yesterday and along with the album’s release the band also released an odd little video to go along with the song “Lotus Flower”. So we’re kicking things off with Radiohead, but that is just one of the 19 brand new videos we’ve got for you this week.
Honheehonhee Release First Single
If anyone out there thought the Montreal music scene was in trouble lately with the news of Wolf Parade’s hiatus and other Montreal bands simply staying out of the limelight, rest assured that the Montreal music scene is just fine and dandy. Bands like The Luyas, Parlovr and No Joy are just begging to make their presences felt around North America. But today we would like to bring your attention to another newly formed Montreal band that has just released their first single. We are talking about Honheehonhee. Read more…
Pop Montreal Preview – Part 2 (Thursday, Sept. 30)
The second day of Pop Montreal takes place this year on Thursday, September 30th. While day one offered us some really interesting shows we are going to go out on a limb and say day 2 at Pop Montreal this year will be the best day of the festival. One after another, we’ve got a stacked lineup on day 2 which will obviously lead to some very tough decisions on your part. We would like to try and make those decisions a little easier by giving you our picks for a busy day 2 at Pop Montreal 2010.
Venue of the Month: La Sala Rossa
It is going to be an extremely busy September in Montreal. Not only will there be an abundance of shows around our city but there will be enough great shows to make your head spin. This simple fact made choosing a venue of the month extremely difficult but after carefully surveying all the venues in the city we had to go with the lovely Sala Rossa. Kele of Bloc Party, Efterklang, The Do, Foals, Bear In Heaven and School of Seven Bells are just a few of the great bands playing at Sala this month. Take a look at all the highlights from an extremely busy month at Sala Rossa, our venue of the month.
