If you were hanging out anywhere in the Mile-End on the idyllic, sunny Saturday that was July 12th, chances are you dropped in at the Pomme-Pomme craft fair at Sala. Then, after longingly fondling fabric squares and crocheted penis-puppets, you’re likely to have done a few reps of the following: guichet, Pomme-Pomme, Casa/coffee, Pomme-Pomme, bike [...]
If you happen to be wandering around the Mile End of Montreal, um, right now! Wander yourself into Wa’ou, a mad designer crafty friperie on Parc just north of St Viateur. Merrill from Sister Suvi is playing a solo set there now in the pretty window, and it’s just her in her bare feet working [...]
January in most Canadian cities is known for its high percentage of depressed persons. It’s generally the time when artists hole up and record albums or book art openings in warmer climes or schedule more shifts at their dayjobs or take interest in HBO dramas.

Another show happening tonight, with Team Indyish converging all over it, features an odd assonant excellent neighborhood assemblage of bands. And it’s Pay What You Can, always a good way to roll. Here’s my quick video preview of the acts, but expect tonight to be special with all these guys together in the same room [...]

Been craft fair-ing all day? Want my advice? It’s cold out there! Cozy into Dave Cool’s venue tonight if you want bodyheat and great singer songwriters as it’s launching up with much gladness and neighborhood vibes and some true happiness for Cool, plus some good media! See: Gazette, Natasha Hall.
Tonight’s performers Paul Cargnello [...]

Pop Montreal begun with a big bang boom with Patti Smith at the Ukrainian Federation where I managed to score the last media spot on the list. Thank goodness! When Patti Smith took the stage, the world suddenly seemed better. When she oppened her poetry book and started reading out of it to a completely [...]
I had a photoshoot with the ever so wonderfully lovely Sister Suvi last weekend and this is a little preview what we came up with:
After trying to find the perfect location and Patrick coming up with some awesome ideas, we got caught off guard by the rain and ended up doing some in Merrill’s bathroom, [...]
