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 [...]
Here are three videos of the wonderful Adam & the Amethysts playing yesterday at the Fringe Fest outdoor stage.
Their brand new album is available here on Pome Records.
Here’s a new video for Miracle Fortress’ Have You Seen In Your Dreams. It’s directed by Sinbad Richardson, whose other work can usually be found at Vienna Pitts.com (although right now his website takes you to a GIF of a winking ape). The video was made by animating video footage onto magnadoodles!! Produced by Patricia [...]

Telefauna was singalongloudable, [...]
Tonight, a typical Friday in Montreal, has plenty of options for sampling the sweetness of the city. You could roam and happen upon good shows and vibes or you could head straight into 2 Scenes for a direct sampling of the kinds of community building that have helped make the city a buzz, a flutter, [...]
The day started off with a yummy BLT at Aux Vivres while my Victoria houseguests and I planned our day. We were going to go shop around until they got a phone call from their manager telling them that another band from their label was playing a show at Norman house. We headed out there [...]
Guitar Swing by The Winks
For me, it all started last summer. Tired of my old playlist, I researched, long and hard, for a band that would have that little something that would tickle my ears. I somehow, discovered the then Victoria band The Winks. The song Snakes quickly became a favourite of mine; it feels [...]
