Belleisle is a young group of old souls who jumped into recording to catch these sounds as they are coming together all early, earnest and yearning in the band-becoming-band process. Tasha Cyr’s voice is particularly delicate, charming, soo soul sad and careful, thoughtful, dropping soft things in her phrasing. (Tasha is recording with the Darling [...]

Ideal Lovers opened Saturday’s Suoni Festival show at a packed Sala Rossa. They played funky blues that would be well-suited to an outdoor venue at the Jazz Festival. The standing crowd danced a bit and the band did a good job of warming us up, but I was anxious to see Vic Chestnutt and tired [...]

Review of Editors live at Club Soda in Montreal on January 20th 2007
I arrived at Club Soda at 9:30pm (about an hour before I usually think about leaving the house for a show), forgetting that larger venues like Metropolis, La Tulipe, le National, and Club Soda actually start on time, and on time is early.

Club Soda-Jan. 21, 2008
Another freezing night in Montreal didn’t stop local music fiends from venturing out on a Monday to hear the sweet sounds of Stockholm’s Peter, Bjorn and John. The band had to cancel a couple of shows last spring, so it had been awhile since they’ve had a chance to grace our fair [...]

Ah Green Room. If you’re in Montreal on a Friday or Saturday night and want to dance with stylish young student hipsters to indie rockin tunes, you go to Green Room. This space is ideal in so many ways except the one that counts in a series called Venue Stories..ie; it’s no longer a venue. [...]

Montrealers!! The Ice Storm of 98!! This week’s the 10 year anniversary of our very own natural disaster. It was a wonderful, magical, mysterious and very harrowing experience. Like any big historical event, we all have our “where were you” stories. It’s truly such a part of our city’s collective consciousness.
It’s wonderful to [...]

We did our first Monthly mess at the Katacombes. Janick, the owner/manager of the space, was our primary contact. She’s a bilingual passionate punk lady with dreads and smiles and stories from a history of Montreal venue management. When we went down to talk with her and to book the show, we had to fill [...]

Not even a 40cm dump of snow can keep a good hipster down, Montreal once again proved night why we have such a thriving indie-music scene. The show in question was the sold-out performance by Plants and Animals, which, despite the weather, was packed to the mother-f’ing gills. The show opened with 2/3 of the [...]

So last week I had a great opportunity to do some guerilla recording with Vancouver psych-rock band It’s a Living Thing in my home studio. I was initially expecting a two person, electric guitar set up after having listened to some of their earlier work. To my surprise I was greeted by four members [...]
