Seriously, Pop Montreal outdoes itself each year. Risa mentioned some of the great acts playing the 5 day festival this year in this post. Beyond the music, there are some great offshoot projects being offered. Kids Pop! Gear swap! Record fair! (Fixture will be there…), Symposium! with a circuit-bending workshop and a panel on open [...]

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 [...]

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 had a great turn out for today’s clothing swap at Woodenapples! It was even easier to organize than last time. Marilis and I were working together at our part time job last week and Marilis turned to me and said, “Let’s have the second clothing swap next Saturday.” Sure! Ok…
