Hello!
Pop Montreal will remind you again and again; we are mainly known for the five day festival in October, but we organize small things during the whole year, because we can’t help it.

What seemed like an improvisational, spontaneous unfolding of creative ideas, sounds and unconventional methods of playing standard musical instruments was in fact Montreal’s Valleys performance on Wednesday evening at Sala Rossa.
Vocals reminiscent of A Silver Mount Zion, on the fly instrument switching, a blend of acoustic guitars, casio keyboards, flugalhorn, samples & looping, noise, electric [...]

I walked into Sala Rossa just as the music began. With Mike O’Brien on guitar and Joe Grass on mandolin, Katie Moore couldn’t have chosen a more solid couple of players for accompaniment during her opening set for Vetiver on Wednesday evening.

The sound was fantastic, the mood was mellow, the combination of guitars, voice [...]

Ok, maybe not so explicitly sexy, but this event is a rare, one-night-only HAPPENING where a group of filmmakers and artists show film in a unique manner that exposes the apparatus and tactility of celluloid. So check it out on your way to a rock show! It’s free and the beer will be cheap.
