Here’s What You Might Have Missed At The MAPP Festival

 

20:00h

On Saturday night, Montreal seems to have been injected with hydrogen. Groups of girls wearing pointy heels half-run, half-shuffle along the sidewalk, late for somebody's pre-game or maybe a house party. They stumble, nearly trip, laugh at their gorgeous, impractical choice in footwear, and then continue running towards the crosswalk. 


The two biggest haters begin their tour in Montreal with only love in their hearts.

Coco and Clair Clair, the bratty alt-pop/rap duo from Atlanta began their Girl tour in Montreal at intimate Le Studio TD. Despite it being a Tuesday night, they were warmly welcomed by a crowded audience of Y2K fashionistas, parasocial relationship-ed young people, and Pitchfork-vibed adult dudes. 


Submerged into Amenra's World

Amenra took over Studio TD on Friday, September 27th, bringing their atmospheric metal sound - at once referred to as “extreme metal”, “post-metal”, and “atmospheric sludge metal” depending on who you ask (and which album you’re looking at), though it’s probably easiest to describe them as blackened post-metal.


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.


Sweet Earth Spells: Liana Flores + Juliana Chahayed at Fairmount Theatre

It’s the eve of Libra season and there’s no better way to celebrate than by attending a Liana Flores concert, queen of Venusian themes: flowers, trees, dewdrops and rain, softness, friendship, romance as a way of life.

Jessica Pratt’s Voice Haunts the Historic La Tulipe

Jessica Pratt shone on Wednesday, as she played to a sold-out show at Montréal’s historic La Tulipe. With a brilliantly unique voice which sounds as though she time travelled from the 1930s with its transatlantic quirks, Pratt has been a critical darling, bubbling under the mainstream in the indie folk scene for a while.
