Fresh after his EP release last October, FWONTEis back and ready to showcase "No Wanga" live on May 20th at Groove Nation, located at 410 Rachel East in Montreal.
One of the great pleasures of listening to Solids' four-track EP, Else, is the wave of noise and distortion that washes over you created by the pounding drums, thumping bass, and distorted guitars. And, unlike the breakneck speed of their debut LP Blame Confusion, Else seems to show the Montreal duo of Xavier Germain-Poitras and Louis Guillemette taking their time and allowing for both the songs and listeners to breathe.
Tune in Thursday for a jam packed episode of Hooked on Sonics (6-8pm)! Around 6:30pm, we'll be chatting with Best Fern (Alexia Avina + Nick Schofield of Saxsyndrum). Best Fern is part of Montreal's Oh Hi collective and will be playing May 12 at Casa del Popolo with Merganzer + Tess Roby, presented by POP Montreal.
"Chillin' in the Park" is a spring fever mix tape by DJ Lawrell from Fukubukuro, Sundays at 9PM only on CJLO.
The semester is over, the birds are singing, the sun is shining, and you're laying under a tree in that park near your house. This is the soundtrack to your well-deserved break, designed to go hand-in-hand with daydreaming, staring at dog walkers, or just chilling with friends.
A few years back, I wrote an article for the CJLO magazine about the creepiest thing that ever happened to me around CJLO studios. As I implied then, I don't actually believe in ghosts, but I would like to believe in them, if that makes any sense. I like listening to other peoples' paranormal experiences and am fascinated by the idea that fragments of the past have the ability to manifest in the present. For the most part, however, I believe that the unexplainable generally has a very real, very boring explanation.
I wasn't sure what to expect before watching Green Room. I saw the trailer and was intrigued—a thriller combining touring bands playing raucous punk rock, and the evil kingpin being played by the illustrious Sir Patrick Stewart? You had me at thriller, you sealed the deal at Jean-Luc.
