JAMES BLUNT + Sarah Blasko @ Café Campus

November 27 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Trevor Kiernander - Ones and Zeroes - 10/31/2005

Please take this review with a grain of salt, as I am fully aware of the star power that this artist has recently garnered...

MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE @ Cabaret La Tulipe

November 20 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Antonella Fratino - The Siamese Libertines - 06/03/05

Just when you think that Jimmy (a.k.a. Urine) and his posse from NYC have weathered themselves out, the band comes to town once again to rock, jeer, perturb and ostensibly screw with a host of salaciously irate adolescents, giving Montreal one more hit of the schizophrenic joyride that is specifically Mindless Self Indulgence.

MATTHEW GOOD @ Club Soda

November 1 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Marc Wiltshire - The Humpday Buffet - 10/18/2005

This marks my fifth occasion seeing Matthew Good live, and even after so many shows over the years, he still manages to evoke an incomparable emotional response from his audience. For the past ten years, Matthew Good’s music has revolved around my life on many different levels, without ever getting old. I have caught myself listening to his music consistently and still manage to discover something new about it, and moreover, about myself.

THE (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY + The Bravery @ Spectrum

October 24 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Idle Matt - Idle Minds - 10/12/2005

In one of the more shocking concert line-ups of recent years, everyone’s favourite fervently anti-capitalist punk/garage band, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, opened for The Bravery. This is almost as shocking as when Ash opened for... The Bravery (?!) earlier this year.

Seriously though, what's the deal with The Bravery? Do they always invite bands to open for them and that are guaranteed to outshine them?

JASON MRAZ + Raul Midon @ Spectrum

October 22 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jordan-na Belle-Isle - Canadian Invasion - 10/06/2005

Like, omigod! I got to see Jason Mraz headline at the Spectrum and it was, like, pretty okay. And I’m not into him because he’s hot or anything! It’s about the music, you know, totally about the music. But he is soooooo hot, omigod! And he wore a pink t-shirt (his new single is “Geek in the Pink” ;) ) and his trademark backward baseball hat, so cute!

TRICKY WOO + The Leather Uppers @ Petit Campus

October 18 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Angelica - BVST - 10/08/2005

As I get older and the weather gets colder, it becomes more and more tempting to not go out on a Saturday night. I came close to skipping out on last weekend's hot date: Tricky Woo with Top Brass and The Leather Uppers. I then remembered that that not only are Tricky Woo one of my favorite bands, they've been doing this since I was still trading stickers with my friends (well, almost) so my encroaching old age is certainly not an excuse.
