Blackfield + Anathema @ Le National

May 31 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Blackfield… coming to Montreal? It was hard to contain the excitement! Finally, this amazing union of Porcupine Tree’s Steve Wilson and Israel’s most prominent rock musician, Aviv Geffen, were coming and I was stoked.

Lykke Li + Grimes @ Metropolis

The World Inferno Friendship Society @ Club Lambi

May 26 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

It was Wednesday May 18, 2011—just three days before the impending Rapture that would kick off the end of the world (as predicted by Harold Camping). In anticipation for that fateful moment, I made a list of five simple things I wanted to do before death on Saturday: 

Guitar Wolf + Cheap Time + Disablers @ Le Cabaret du Mile End

May 23 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

On Monday, May 16th, I discovered I was wrong in thinking leather pants couldn’t be cool. All the tight, glistening pairs of pants I once associated with thrift stores, venereal disease and general scumminess should be sent to Japan without hesitation. Why? Because apparently Japanese rock and roll bands like Guitar Wolf have figured out some mystical way to rock that shit.

Acetate Gratified's Summer Sign Off

May 20 2011 // CJLO

Tune into Acetate Gratified on Monday, May 23rd to hear the first act (and possibly more) of Philips Glass's opera Einstein on the Beach. This marks the last last episode of Acetate Gratified for some time, as the show goes on hiatus for the summer. Join your host of questionable social graces Lachlan Fletcher and a veritable cavalcade of guests as they repeatedly count to eight in operatic voices. Spend your Victoria day in a gratifying way (see what I did there?) with Acetate Gratified, from 4-6.

Allstar Weekend + Done With Dolls + Action Item @ Corona Theatre

May 20 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Would I have decided to go to see three pop bands on my own? Not a chance! However, I did what any great mother would do - I decided to take on this task, because my daughter Samantha is a major fan of Allstar Weekend. So this review is a collaborative effort, as Samantha Munroe’s opinions are reflected here too.

Hooked on Sonics Supersizes Itself!

May 19 2011 // CJLO

Hugo from Pouzza Fest/the Sainte-Catherines will be calling to chat about the weekend of punk rock, Sway from Freedom or Death will be dropping by to perform acoustically, AND we've got some NXNE Wristbands to giveaway! 

Thurs 6-8pm ET only on CJLO!

 

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings + Black Joe Lewis and The Honeybears @ Metropolis

May 17 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings is kicking off a new tour and her first stop is Montreal at Metropolis. This meant the crowd had the pleasure of getting her fresh and excited.
