Next to the McAuslan Brewery, about a twelve minute walk from St Henri Metro here in Montreal, sat an odd lovely old house. Out of place in a block of small tenement buildings, large factories and expansive grey fields, parking lots, and a pervasive hint of hops, the house stands alone and looks rather staunch [...]

Les Pas Sages on Rachel street - Potentially the best Indyish Monthly Mess venue so far, not because it had a big stage (pretty small) or because the projector equipment was positioned perfectly (cool, but not perfect for us) but really, because it met a set of other, more personal criteria.

Ok, I’m jumping back into the frey of the Venue Stories column by hearkening back to the first time we did a fashion Mess, back in September 2007.

Over the past year and a half of Indyish, and 10 months of Monthly Messes, (which are archived by Elran on the Monthly Mess round up page), we’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of different venues in Montreal. We started the Mess thinking we might keep it at Katacombes (venue #1) but [...]
