Grey Day w/ $uicideboy$, Denzel Curry, Pouya, and more

Walking To Place Bell from Montmorency was a cool experience as my hyped built and built and built. A lot of these artists from this lineup I've been a fan of for years, so this was really a cool experience. And the hype did not disappoint. Though I didn't get to see all of EKKSTACY's performance, I overheard him playing his biggest hit "i walk this earth all by myself" as I was walking to my seat.. which was a real treat for me.

Spoon Puts a Fork in the Late Summer Blues

In Montreal, weekends in September are treasured. The twilight mesmerizes, and though clearly still summer, the occasional breeze serves as an indication of colder, darker evenings to come. It’s an embarrassment of riches, really, and it’s only wise to take advantage of.


A Summer Sendoff: Electrifying Performances by Chanel Beads, Kassie Kurt & Can’t Believe at Bar L’Escogriffe

Lingering feelings of summer were high this past Saturday, after a hot, heartening night of music at Bar l’Escogriffe. After this perfectly orchestrated, totally satisfying lineup of Chanel Beads, Kassie Krut and Can’t Believe, Saint Denis was bustling with show-goers, riding on a high, as the recently applauded artists casually walked out onto the streets. This three-act bill took us on a deep exploration of a fresh melange of electronic, noise, pop music, and even elements of contemporary folk, with resonant and introspective lyrics carrying us through the night. It felt like we had been taken on a journey, all the while remaining grounded in the steamy, red-hued room.
