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 […]

On Sunday when I arrived at Casa del Popolo, I had no idea what to expect, and no idea what I was in for. Drawing me to the 15th soiree of Festival Suoni Per Il Popolo’s programming were Ian Ferrier, Pharmakon and a mysterious Sadio Sisshoko, who I considered to be opening the show from […]

SPACE IS THE PLACE!
These are the words of the mighty Sun Ra (aka Sonny Ray, Sonny Lee, Le Sonra & Herman Poole Blount), legendary jazz composer, bandleader, piano and synthesizer player, poet and philosopher. He left this planet back in 1993 to journey into the cosmos (which he already knew so well) […]

Mount Eerie is about trees and rocks and being around people.
Phil Elverum played as the Microphones until his 2003 album, Mount Eerie, after which he took on the name as a performing persona. It actually seems like less of a persona and more a case of experimenting with melding yourself and an idea or a […]

Big thanks are owed to AKG Microphones for the celebration that was this Friday’s giant free outdoor workshop and jam in the sun with 15 members of the Sun Ra Arkestra, accompanied by Ethereal Tribal.

Because AKG and Soundcraft, their Canadian distributor, appreciated immediately how special this opportunity was we were able to make it […]

Night before last I did not sleep a wink, I was running over and over in my mind the details for the show the next day, the Sun Ra Arkestra coming into town, this vision we had hatched was going to be good and real if we could pull it all off, pull it all […]

Joining us today for the Indyish Mess at the Fringe (co-produced with Suoni per il Popolo in the park on the corner of St Laurent and Rachelle here in Montreal from 2:30 - 9:30!) are the incredible Urban Preacher!
Urban Preacher was born in Montreal in 2007 from a collective group of musicians who had the […]

Spirits converged upon the old Spanish social club once again last night for the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival, to be immersed in the magnetism of a group of musicians partially responsible for building the foundation of the Montreal music community. There was a sign on the door that read “100% Sold Out” and people […]

photo from Mount Eerie
Thursday June 12th at 9pm –> Mount Eerie and Bob Wiseman at the Suoni Festival. I anticipate this being a dark show. Take a good look at the photo above. Be prepared for “death themed”, investigative, unpredicable music from two weathered and luminary dudes.
Mount Eerie’s Phil Elverum came of age artistically […]

This is protest music, and when the wave of sorrowful lament and resistance sweeps over you with all its lifting counter melodies and strings there is a water welling in your brain stem effect, the waves of generations of the hopeful heart broken by war and greed, longing to make music and love in peace.
