Just wanted to quickly post an accurate map to the Mess location since some of the various mapping softwares seem to have trouble with it.

I went yesterday with Risa to look at Il Motore, the new venue opening on Jean Talon. Il Motore is a collaboration between Montreal show promotors, tour bookers, and label: Blue Skies Turn Black, and the owners of the staple indie rock venues, restaurant/cafe, hotel, and Spanish social club: La Sala Rossa and Casa del [...]

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.

For one, I’m really excited that we’ll have Nightwood with us, giving away exclusive EP previews of their new album, which just got picked up by local love buds Grenadine Records!!

…and OK Giraffe…

The night runs on [...]
