The Lemon Twigs @ Theatre Fairmount

The scariest words a music journalist can hear have to be, “Sorry, you’re not on the list.” Which is how my evening began after walking up the steep stairs from Parc Avenue to the will-call window at Théâtre Fairmount this past Friday night. Frantically texting and emailing anyone who could remedy this situation for me, I spent an anxious twenty minutes before doing what I never like to do, but when dealing with a sold-out show it is sometimes the only thing left to do.


It’s About the Journey, Not the Destination - The Hotline TNT Experience

The first time I saw Hotline TNT live was last May in Vigo during their European tour. During the bus ride from Portugal to Spain, my friend Amanda and I could not contain our excitement that we were about to see our favorite band perform live in Spain. While there is some novelty behind the idea of travelling long distances to see a band perform live, poor planning and a few misunderstandings led to us nearly missing the entire show. Luckily enough, we made it for half of the last song and the encore.


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. 


Novo Amor at MTELUS: “Musical Intricacies in Real Time”

The fall season crept in early this year at Montreal’s MTELUS’s, as the venue welcomed the timid voice of Novo Amor to round up Indie music lovers. On Wednesday, September 18th, Ali John Meredith-Lacey, known under his stage name of Novo Amor, arrived in Montreal to mark the eleventh stop on the North American leg of his tour.
