Magazine

Independent, provocative, now! The CJLO Magazine is the resource for features, reviews, and interviews. Established in 2004, and run by dedicated CJLO volunteers, the magazine covers the latest and best in local and international music, art, theatre, film, festivals, and more!


IMMORTAL - Sons of Northern Darkness

By Alex Robot - No Sleep Til Bedtime

For the record, CJLO’s Korgull the Destroyer (from Metal for Supper, Thursdays 2-4pm) bought this album when it first came out. I mercilessly made fun of both him AND the three corpse-painted clowns on the cover, brandishing medieval weapons and spiky armor. I knew these guys had a killer rep, but I assumed it was similar to the praise lavished on the over-rated Burzums of the Black Metal world, guys who are more renowned for their gimmicks and criminal records than their music.

THE PIXIES + Marble Index + the Datsuns @ CEPSUM

By Oli Pulleybank - Boozehound Radio - 11/27/2004

As the guitar tech put the bright orange bass he had been tuning back on to its stand and sauntered off the stage, the crowd at the University of Montreal’s CEPSUM arena felt a rush of nervous excitement overwhelming them. I stood towards the back, feeling like the luckiest of all the schmucks who had conned their way onto the guestlist, and knew that the wait was almost over. Making their triumphant return to Montreal were the almighty Pixies, having not graced La Belle Ville with their sonic assault in over 22 hours.


Sam Roberts @ Metropolis

Antonella F. - The Siamese Libertines - 11/24/2004

Sam used to be known to me as “that cute, shy waiter from Shayne’s” (the short-lived restaurant on Bishop street owned by the Montreal Canadiens player, Shayne Corson). Now, almost four years later, he is known nationwide as one of Canada’s hottest rock acts. I was, therefore, eagerly anticipating my chance at seeing him again for the first time since his clean-cut days at Shayne’s (I’m not a regular at Le Pistol).
