Scarnella is the errant brainchild of Carla Bozulich and Nels Cline… The band draws on a wide array of styles, instruments & methodologies to express itself: Carla still plays guitar and works her mighty pipes, but also adds bass guitar and her sampling keyboard, which had been in the closet collecting dust for too long. [...]
For its variety and energy alone this was an entertaining show. The Nels Cline Singers are all over the shop. They covered too much musical ground for me to talk about with any real insight. Jazz, free jazz, rock ballads, there were classical, post rock and ambient elements. I think what bound these elements was [...]
Review of Saturday’s show at Sala Rossa. A part of Indyish’s coverage of Suoni Per Il Popolo.
Oneida play heavy and intense. Their music is a steady-driving barrage of sped-up Sabbath drum-driven guitar rock. Most of their songs that night were instrumental, though a few had melodic vocals and every song started with the drummer kicking [...]
Oy, it’s sticky in Mtown tonight, it’s June, that ain’t right! Well, it’s midafternoon, but still. The sidewalks are damply sizzling and the small groups and framentary crowds of tourists and marijuana dealers are circling slower then usual, making flurries like dandylion cotton when intercut by the sweating, irrepressibly active jogging types on Mount Royal.

Review of The Luyas at Casa del Popolo, June 5th 2008.

Familiar, boring. Now, picture a map of Montreal as illustrated by a great painter, as in Da Vinci and Monet or something (I know frig little about visual art so bear with me). Ok Okay do you feel [...]
On the 8th of June (Sunday! tomorrow!) at Casa you can catch the post rock/punk, jazz improvisational sounds of The Nels Cline Singers. If you do you will notice a lot of guitar and no singing.
Im pretty excited from what I’ve heard. The music covers a lot of ground. From dark swelling guitar soundscapes [...]

I had no idea what to expect tonight on my way to Sala Rossa to see the Roswell Rudd & Marc Dresser duo perform at the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival. These two immensely experienced players recently collaborated on the 2006 Clean Feed release AIRWALKERS. Tonight’s show was a performance of some of the tracks [...]
