BLOC PARTY @ Metropolis

October 18 2008 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Nick Shofield - The Siamese Libertines - 09/17/2008

If the name Bloc Party sends chills down your back in fear of a Soviet or Bloc Quebecois resurgence, the only thing you need to worry about is finding a minute to get blown away by these British songsters. Once heralded as indie-champions, they've been intravenously pumped into pop-media via movies, magazines, radio and TV. It's quite likely you already love them, but simply don't know it.

FLOBOTS + The People Under the Stairs @ Le Studio

A wonderful Tuesday night in Montreal -- the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the beats were banging and Le Studio held a show to keep curious Montreal residents on their toes. With nothing left to complain about in the Rant Line, residents were forced to pile themselves into a venue with the typical surroundings of a bar needing more than just Boreal beer.

RADIOHEAD @ Parc Jean Drapeau

October 16 2008 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Ricky D - The Naked Lunch - 08/06/2008

Some are calling it the concert of the summer: Radiohead somehow managed to cram a good 35,000 fans into Park Jean Drapeau Wednesday night (that’s more seats that you can fit in the Bell Center). Even Coldplay, whose latest album brought them to the top of the charts for the very first time, managed to only sell 19,000 tickets the week prior.

NAS + Talib Kweli + DJ Green Lantern + Jay Electronica @ Metropolis

“Ether.” It was all I could think about as I made my way to the Nas concert. Would Nas spit the track that some called be best diss track ever written? Now that Nas and Jay-Z have put their dislike for each other behind them and have even collaborated on tracks together, it was safe to say he wouldn’t go there…or would he?
