Hi Everyone!

As you may be able to tell, we have a new website!

We are currently under that transitional phase between the old site and the new site, so there may be some issues but we are working diligently to remedy them.

If you find anything that you think we missed, send an email to our super rad web developer Vanessa Reid (webmaster@cjlo.com).

Take a look around the website, we are pretty stoked with this new, sleek look, and we hope that you like it too.

Trigger Effect's Grand Finale

April 4 2014 // CJLO

For ten years, Trigger Effect has been a staple of the Montreal Punk Rock “n” Roll scene. They are a touring managers best friend and worse nightmare, running around the world and exposing everyone to their radioactive brand of music.

Tonight, Trigger Effect will end their reign. Nick Babeu, Trigger Effect's lead singer passed away this past November, and the band decided that without Babeu, Trigger Effect should not exist, save for one, last, show. Trigger Effect will take the stage at Foufounes to say goodbye to the band, and they will take the stage to mark their tenth anniversary and blow the roof off of Foufounes.
