CALEXICO @ Le National

By Simon Howell - A Listening Ear - 07/07/2008

Since the late 90's, Calexico -- formed by Joey Burns and John Convertino of Giant Sand -- have been steadily churning out their own blend of horn-infused folk-rock, which touches on traditional Mexican music as well as more typical American folk influences. Their live show, as it turns out, is a fairly straightforward replica of their recorded sound, albeit with a few left turns here and there.


MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE @ Le Medley

By Michelle Ayoub - 06/29/2008

“Yes, NO, do-do-do-do!”

Le Medley, June 29th 2008. The band: Mindless Self Indulgence, touring in support of their new album If. I am still undecided on whether I am the perfect person to write this review, or the absolute worse. On the one hand, I vividly recall sneaking in to seven dollar shows in bars years before I was of age to see this band, on the other hand, I vividly recall sneaking in to seven dollar shows in bars years before I was of age to see this band.


KAIL - True Hollywood Squares

MY MORNING JACKET @ Le National

By Ricky D - The Naked Lunch - 06/17/2008

The difference between the fifth studio album from the Louisville, Kentucky quintet and all previous work is the influence of producers James and Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, U2), who stray away from the synths on some of My Morning Jacket’s past work and instead, try to emulate their full, live sound. This just might be the reason why this time around, the band outdid themselves once again on their 2008 North American tour.


DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE @ Quai Jacques Cartier

By Lindsay Wood - Through Being Cool - 06/06/2008

You know the feeling you get when you finally get the chance to see a band you just keep missing (because either the band got injured on a previous tour, or you happened to take an extra work shift without realizing that it was on the same night as the show)?  That’s the feeling I had when I saw Death Cab for Cutie. We were finally able to be in the same place at the same time on their most recent Montreal visit, meeting when “soul meets body” at the Quai Jacques Cartier.
