Check out the great article in today’s Gazette about the Remember Griffintown show! We’re proud to be a part of this beautiful event, helping out with gear and food and tent advice, things like that, plus our MonthlyMess show: a full day-into-late-night party on Saturday the 13th.

I went yesterday with Risa to look at Il Motore, the new venue opening on Jean Talon. Il Motore is a collaboration between Montreal show promotors, tour bookers, and label: Blue Skies Turn Black, and the owners of the staple indie rock venues, restaurant/cafe, hotel, and Spanish social club: La Sala Rossa and Casa del [...]

First time I’ve tried the mid-Mess-blog, but here goes! We’re well into the 11th Monthly Mess. Simon is on the stage and we’re not sure what his act is yet, spoken word is coming, but quietly, and he asked the MC’s (hilarious with the accents) to make up his introduction, which ended up involving fairies.

Well, tomorrow is the Indyish Monthly Mess. This is perhaps the most mind-blowing Mess for me yet, for a lot of reasons. For one, I’m really excited that we’ll have Nightwood with us, giving away exclusive EP previews of their new album, which just got picked up by local love buds Grenadine Records!!
