So, as promised, Elran Oded (my partner in life and Indyish) and I will now attempt to review the Steel Pulse show we attended together out on the glowy little Bonsecour quay at the edge of the Old Port here in Montreal. Elran and I talked about the show all the way home, and this […]
These days (as opposed to, say, the days of ancient Greece), anyone creating theatre has to deal with an inescapable truth: a lot of people just don’t care about live performance. Or at least, they’re not familiar with it. People tend to like the things they’re familiar with, and in the case of modern storytelling, […]

I liked that last night’s concert at Le National was all ages, along with the rest of Islands‘ Canadian and American tour dates. I guess the demographics of their fanbase sort of necessitate it.
Scroll down for videos from the show…
The opening band was The Magic who basically do everything they should do as good indie […]
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been booking a tour for my band Brave Radar and our friend Dirty Beaches. A lot of other bands are about to embark on summer tours right now (read about Nightwood’s tour booking diaries, part one and two). I thought it was fitting to post this video of Cryptacize’a […]

In order of appearance: J. Kelly Nestruck, Willow Rutherford with the brilliant Virpi who has lots of secret diverse skills, our cozy crowd […]
We arrived at the show a tid bit early, so we headed towards the bar and got ourselves a cold one. Found 2 seats, sat down, drank our beers.
The Pink Noise from Toronto began their set with synth keys and drum machine beats pulsating alongside bassist K. Hainey’s tidy bass lines. M. […]
Dirty Projectors with No Kids and Brian Seeger at Sala Rossa in Montreal, March 31st. Photos by Marilis Cardinal.
Brian Seeger opened the show with solo guitar jams. He seemed to be quite used to the awkwardness of playing sloppy pop songs in a large, and largely empty, concert hall. I mean sloppy in a good […]
Conor is being interviewed and will play a song on FBi Radio in Sydney, Australia on March 30th. FBi has a strong focus on local bands; they’ve got Local Fidelity, a 2 hour show that plays only Australian bands, and The Bridge which features an hour of music from Sydney 5 days a week!
7pm Sunday […]
Whenever I’m really moved by something I end up ruining it for anyone else by either: a) over-describing in an effort to express why I loved it, or b) using a few words to poorly summarize its effects and ending with a frustrated “you should really check it out”. I found some really great videos […]
