Dandy Warhols @ Le National

November 17 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


It hadn’t been that long since the Dandy Warhols came to visit us here in Montreal, but judging by the size of the crowd at le National the other night, their fans seem to never get enough of this West Coast band.

Entering the charming National theatre, you immediately felt a surreal emotion looking at the stage. This was due in part to the giant Chinese round paper lanterns that hovered above the stage and little did we know at this early time, how they would compliment the band in fantastical fashion.

Women Live @ CJLO

November 9 2010 // Sessions

Hot off the heels of their critically acclaimed self-titled debut record, Calgarians Women dropped by CJLO one Friday afternoon and recorded what turned out to be the first LIVE session ever for The Reaktor.  Hijinks ensued, as Stabby Abby aka Starr-Girl did her first live CJLO interview, and Women treated the CJLO listening audience to a nearly ten minute rendition of "Lawncare" that ends in a seven minute long squall of fuzz drenched noise that sounds like what I'd imagine a jet en

Gord Downie And The Country Of Miracles @ Le National

November 8 2010 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


Fame and artistic talent are tricky things to manage. Consider the case of Gord Downie, who has both. He's the lead singer of the Tragically Hip. Maybe you've heard of them. Or maybe you're not from Canada. Gord, however, is no simple Canadian semi-alt-rock megastar. He's also a poet.

Imagine the greatest of ironies: a French rock group from Versailles travels across the ocean to the most populous French city in North America, gets booked at a French-language University by French promotion, and plays their American Grammy-winning album to a sold-out majority-French crowd…in English.

And it is exactly what took place on October 21st, 2010 at the Complexe Sportif de l'Université de Montréal.
