This Week in Montreal
So how did December arrive so quickly? One morning its fall and the next day Montreal is bedecked with Christmas paraphernalia.

But before all your free time actually gets usurped by mad dash shopping and a suffocating amount of family of time, its probably a good idea to pack in some shows while you still can! Keep reading for highlights of shows happening this week around Montreal, including Bear Hands, Ra Ra Riot and Stars.

Polaris Prize Short List Announced
A few weeks ago the long list of nominees for this year’s prestigious Polaris Music Prize was announced. The list of 40 Canadian made albums has just been rounded down to a measly ten. With the amount of great albums on the long list we can imagine how hard it was to round it down. But we assure you it has been done, and we’ve got the list of albums still in the running for you. Keep reading to see who made the cut. Read more…
This Week in Montreal
Forgive the good ol’ saying that less is more. For this week in Montreal is packed with shows that are just too exciting to pass up. You just might have some tough decisions to make. Will it be the kitschy and quirky Fiery Furnaces or the raucous Ted Leo & the Pharmacists on Tuesday June 22nd? Will you be seeing Montreal’s Plants and Animals or Think About Life on Friday June 25rd? Having trouble deciding, like me? Toss a coin! If those decisions are just eating you up inside, then checking out Canadian folk siren Basia Bulat on June 25, 26 0r 27 is a surefire, and less stress-inducing, bet. Keep on reading for some highlights of shows happening this week around Montreal, including Dinosaur Bones, Born Ruffians and Young Galaxy.

Tonight in the City
We’ve got a huge night of shows ahead of us tonight in Montreal. Unless your planning on heading to Longueuil tonight to catch the Arcade Fire playing yet another (somewhat) secret free show at Place Longueuil at 8:30 PM we’ve got the run down of what’s happening in the city tonight. Leading the way are Montreal’s The Luyas and AIDS Wolf, along with Regina, Saskatchewan’s Rah Rah, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Read more…
This Week in Montreal
The Suoni per il Popolo festival continues to roll along this week, bringing us two interesting one-woman acts, Grouper and Tune-Yards. If you’re in the mood for some dreamy vocals and ambient haze, head on over to check out Grouper, aka Liz Harris. While if you’re up for some truly quirky folk/pop DIY beatboxing sounds, Tune-Yards aka Merrill Garbus could be what you need to jumpstart this busy concert week. Beyond Suoni per il Popolo, we are truly excited for this Wednesday’s Luyas show at the Rialto Theatre; we get to see one of Montreal’s biggest exports at the moment playing at the gorgeous venue’s first public show in a fairly long time. We are also giving away tickets to this Friday’s Jane Vain and Valleys show. Keep on reading to check out more of what’s happening this week in Montreal.
