Start your Saint-Patrick’s Day (weekend) off right with Peter Katz this Friday at Club Lambi.
A CBC darling and Montreal native, Katz launched his CD More Nights at Club Lambi last June as a Montreal Fringe special event. I was there and remember the evening very fondly; Peter is a great performer and casts a [...]

Howdy everyone … I’m writing about a fantastic show coming up very soon at the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall.  March 12th to be exact.  A buddy of mine, Adam O’Callaghan has been working tirelessly for months on this project that celebrates what would have been the one hundredth anniversary of Raymond Scott’s birth.  Who is Raymond [...]

The Demaes are playing right now, after showing their new video for the first time (hopefully it will find it’s way on here soon, it’s ADORABLE!). Oh man, this band is really fun. This blog post is going to be similar to the stream-of-consciousness (and no spell check) of the Fringe/Osheaga days, so enjoy.
First, we [...]

I hammered out notes on the first half of the curated questioning of Gilberto Gil here, and now will continue to delight with more notes on digital policy, weee!

I just got back from Gilberto Gil’s second event here in Montreal, a kind of curated discussion between the Brazilian Culture Minister and Tropicalismo musical innovator and rebel Gil, the Digital Policy Coordinator Claudio Prado (sweetly anarchic and kind), and four academics and activists implicated in digital media.
Gilberto Gil, and Brazil as a whole, [...]

Today is a day of excitement and running. Last night we had the bi-weekly Team Indyish meet. This is the first meet of the month, so it’s usually devoted to brainstorming the MonthlyMess, but with an added spin of TV cameras this time - CTV, and friendly reporter host Paul Karwatsky doing interviews in the [...]

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!!
Also, we’ve partnered [...]

I was just rambling about the web this morning while listening to my Leonard Cohen station on Last.Fm internet radio and wondering about the wealth of music websites out there and whether they make it harder or easier to build your Indie Biz or a supportive diverse community when I found this Online Music list [...]

This venue is unofficial, and buried deep in the bowels of the horror-movie perfect old building at 1180 St.Antoine, in the perpetual shadow of the Bell Amphitheater (or whoever the title sponsor is now).
It’s actually the studio of a small collective of painters / visual artists / artistsgenerally who call themselves and their space [...]
