As we mentioned before we had a show at our apartment a few weeks ago. Conor made some bristol board cutouts for a backdrop…he also designed a really tacky mid-nineties rave flyer.
Here are Marilis’ photos, which she took using her brand new camera lenses!! That’s Freelove Fenner, Dirty Beaches, Brave Radar and Coulees. More photos […]
After a conversation with Marilis and Tessa about how we should make more references to pop culture on this here blog, I’ve decided to start a casual blog series just nudging readers towards shamelessly poppy references on the interwebs. (Cuz like, most of us are following these stories anyways, no matter how much we disguise […]
Here are some photos from last weekend’s art opening for Hot Hot Gold by Tyler Rauman. Tyler doesn’t often show his work; he’s too busy designing show posters and making music in a million incarnations and paying the bills somewhere in there…so it was great to celebrate his birthday with a vernissage of his new […]
In this video for Nightlife, me and Marilis‘ boss, Mr. Colin Seymour, recommends some things to do this week in Montreal. Among them are: popcorn shrimp stripping, video-on-demand drinking, karaoke singing, vintage shoe shopping, and Casa sandwich eating. Watch the video here.
Sorry for stealing this photo from your facebook Colin. It’s great though.
No amount of snow could shut down this second clothing swap and as people piled into Woodenapples with huge bags of snow-covered clothing, excited to swap their discarded goods for other people’s little treasures. Read Tessa’s post to hear all about it, and here are some photos of the MADNESS!

We emailed Amy at Woodenapples, […]
Tuesday February 26th, Plants and Animals celebrated the release of their new album, Parc Avenue, at the beautiful Sala Rossa in Montreal. David Macleod warmed up the foliage-strewn stage, with fellow Timber-member, Katie Moore sharing vocals and a guest appearance by Emma Baxter of Orillia Opry. By the time Plants and Animals got up, giggling […]
Here are some of Marilis‘ photos from the Fixture Recordings release party.
Cagibi was a nice warm spot to hole up for a evening to celebrate the release of our first 3 cds and cassettes. After leaving with far fewer cds than we had brought (hurrah!) we trekked over to Nouveau Palais with the bands […]
Everybody get happy, even if you’re from Toronto…

Perhaps 5 years ago, I first listened to, and was made happy by, The Hidden Cameras. They were poppy, they were bright, and their lyrics made sense.
Flashforward to the weekend before last…Marilis and I caught their Montreal show at Sala […]
Last weekend, Marilis and I organized a clothing swap at Wooden apples Atelier on Parc ave in Montreal. It was really nice to throw something together that seemed to require so little struggle. Some of the events we’ve put on or helped put together in the past include:
The Monthly Mess: eclectic artist showcase, every month
