This Week in Montreal
We don’t mean to make this edition of This Week in Montreal into a trend report, but there are some patterns at play this week that are begging to be distilled. First, if this week is any indication, there seems to be some 90s nostalgia lingering about. With performances by indie rock veterans Superchunk and Teenage Fanclub, dad rockers have never seemed hipper. Second, if you are a relatively attractive male, have some vocal tent, and are able to write some lyrics that will make the ladies swoon, then your future is bright. Acoustic performances by Sea Wolf and The Tallest Man on Earth, who fulfill all the above prerequisites, are sure to not be missed. While we’d love to continue making some overarching generalizations, we don’t want to bore you. So why dont you keep reading for this week’s show highlights and come to your own cultural conjectures!

This Week in Montreal
While the weather may not be looking so hot for the week, there is good news on the horizon. Firstly, the Habs have made the playoffs, so there will be no rioting downtown (unless of course they win the first series). But more importantly, we’ve got an excellent week of concerts lined up. Kicking things off with Best Coast and No Joy tonight at The Friendship Cove and culminating on Sunday night with Gogol Bordello and DeVotchKa at Metropolis in what is sure to be one of the most entertaining shows on the year so far, the week is jam packed with great shows. Here are some more highlights.
