FRIENDLY FIRES + White Lies @ Les Saints

By Christine Lariviere - The Lonesome Strangers - 03/30/2009

Late March is always a time for Montreal to shrug off the last of its winter blues, but this is always signaled by the odd day or two of freakishly cold weather…winter’s final death rattle.  So it was in a cumbersome winter jacket, layered with a sweater and t-shirt for good measure that I bustled my way down into the hot, crowded depths of Les Saints on March 30th to catch Friendly Fires playing their first show in Montreal.

TOKYO POLICE CLUB + Ruby Coast @ La Sala Rosa

By Rebecca Munroe - The Drive Home: Charts & Crafts - 03/27/2009

Tokyo Police Club’s concert last night… what can I say? Not much.  Seriously the problem I had with them is one that I am finding I am having with most indie rock bands these days. The word I would use to sum it all up: generic.

SERENA RYDER @ Cabaret du Musée

By Charbel Nassif - Pop Concordia - 03/15/2009

I was excited to see Serena Ryder live. I knew a handful of her songs but not much else about her.On the off chance that you don’t either, Ryder’s from Ontario, just outside of Peterborough.  She grew up listening to the Beatles and Leonard Cohen. During her show, she told the audience that she was an AM Radio “kind-of-girl.”
