Montreal’s the Darling DeMaes posted a couple pre-mastered sound-bytes from their upcoming album on their myspace (www.myspace.com/thedarlingdemaes).
The F.A.C.T.O.R-supported album was recorded and mixed across the train tracks at Mountain City by Joseph Donovan (The Dears, Sam Roberts) and Adrian Popovich (Tricky Woo, Mongrels).
In late August, the demaes head down to Toronto to master the record […]

Long-time collaborators Erin Ross and Amber Goodwyn come together with recent addition “Famous” Eric Lapointe to deliver their first mini-album, Big City E.P. on Montreal indie label Grenadine Records. Recorded by Martin Horn at Digital Bird Studios, this 6-song album is tightly packed. In […]

In the 8th grade, when the cool thing to do was to keep up to date on Mix 96’s top 8 at 8, I was listening to the best of the Kinks on cassette tape. Really, I was a very nerdy kid. So it was with a certain amount of smugness that I set out […]

I’ve had a most lovely weekend of music, peaking with Jesse Winchester’s mesmerizing performance last night at Café Campus.
To Anglo Montrealers over 50, Jesse is a legend. He’s up there on the legend-o-meter with Nick Auf de Maur, the McGarrigle sisters, maybe even Leonard Cohen. The draft-dodger from Tennessee made a name for himself […]

For those of you who have an interest in acoustic guitar music, whether it be instrumental, traditional, psych-folk, avant-garde or any of the myriad genres that have been classified from some offshoot of the form (whew!), then check out this Wednesday’s bill over at Casa del Popolo.
Mastering engineer and guitarist Harris Newman will be joining […]

Good morning! Good morning! Time to get out of bed! Time to get off the computer and step into the hot hot heat of the bestest Saturday in Montreal!
But first read this…
The Main is closed to traffic and open for drinking on terraces everywhere, a strange and eclectic variety of food, buskers, and plenty […]

If my post last week about the Montreal’s meto art was a little cynical, I apologize. It’s not that I’ve got anything against investing in installations that often ressemble monumental wads of bubble-gum, it’s just that my favourite metro idiosyncrasy wasn’t calculated into anyone’s budget. I’m talking about the lovely chord the trains make when […]

Tuesday nights are usually reserved for late nights at school for yours truly, but last week, I could not bring myself to miss the show at Green Room. I saw Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner and his fiancé Alexei Perry’s Handome Furs last summer at club Lambi in front of a much smaller crowd and despite […]

I just met Fraser, and he’s dear. His music’s got reggae beat, with electronic layers and a sweet pop croon.
The event is free if you bring an old cell phone (projectre-cell.com) and it’s also a fundraiser for Sustainable McGill and, apparently, a Mix-Tape release! Catch it at:
La Plage 4653 St.Laurent, March 16th.

Last Sunday, the Discriminating Gentlemen’s Club hosted End of Sundays, a monthly matinee concert program, this month featuring the band Midi-Evil (who did not perform live, but whose CD played throughout the afternoon), Cian Éthrie and Transelvania.
Cian Éthrie, originally composed of Marcello Marandola (guitar), and Francis Amireault (cello), were joined by Éric Gingras’s […]
