PEEPING TOM + Pigeon John @ Spectrum

April 21 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Idle Matt - Idel Minds - 04/11/2007

In the summer of 1989, while on vacation with my family in the States, I caught the video for Faith No More's "Epic" on MTV (when they actually used to play videos). From that moment on, I was a fan of not only the band, but especially of their talented and versatile -- and possibly slightly insane -- lead singer Mike Patton. I've followed Patton throughout his career and various projects: Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk and now his latest project entitled Peeping Tom.

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM @ Metropolis

April 21 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By K-Man- Beyond That Graveyard! III - 04/04/2007

Well, here's one for you Fleetwood Mac fans out there: Lindsey Buckingham replaced original Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green in late '75 with his freak-ass wife Stevie Nicks and forever changed the sound of that band.

THE KAISER CHIEFS + The Wallkmen + The Annuals @ Spectrum

DEAN & BRITTA + CamaRomance @ Main Hall

April 18 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Susannah Hicks - Rock the Plank - 03/10/2007

Dean (Wareham) and Britta (Phillips) are no newcomers; they have been influencing music for decades. This duo are no strangers either as they are both former members of the band Luna. Prior to Luna, Dean was the frontman of Galaxie 500 and Britta voiced the well-known animated character Jem. Dean and Britta's musical union began in 2003; it was not until the recording of Back Numbers, their second full-length album in 2007, that their matrimony formed.

LAMB OF GOD + Trivium + Machine Head @ Le Medley

April 17 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Johnny Suck - Turn Down the Suck - 03/20/2007

A sold-out Medley played host to Lamb of God, Trivium and Machine Head -- Gojira were there too, but nobody cares about them. It's a shame that it was at the Medley; actually it's a shame that all larger metal shows are at the Medley, as it's pretty much the worst venue in the city -- but that's a rant for another day...

THE ROOTS @ Metropolis

April 17 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Döc Holidæ - Phantastiq Cypha - 03/25/2007

SNOW PATROL + Silversun Pickups + OK Go @ Metropolis

April 10 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Katie Seline - Wrong Side of the Bed - 03/30/2007

It seems lately like every time I go to see a show at Metropolis, something ridiculous happens. I am going to make no effort to hide the fact that I hate this venue, namely because it allows for a much higher population of concert goers who couldn’t give a hoot about the band or the people around them per capita compared to some of the smaller, more pleasant venues around Montreal. But I digress.

TAKING BACK SUNDAY @ Théâtre Olympia

April 3 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jessica Hemmerich - Charts & Crafts - 03/20/2007

Taking Back Sunday concert at Olympia, March 20th 2007. Sounds like a fun way to spend a Friday night. That’s what I thought anyway and, well, to put this tactfully, I was so horribly mistaken.

FLOGGING MOLLY + Street Dogs @ Metropolis

March 25 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Josh Mocle - The Kids Are So-So - 03/08/2007

MENOMENA + Land Of Talk @ Main Hall

March 25 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Katie Seline - Wrong Side of the Bed - 03/25/2007

The end of semester turns me into a total moron. Plagued by papers and craziness I was hesitant to make the 45-minute-plus trip up to Main Hall for this show. Knowing the editor of this magazine would fly back from Germany and destroy me if I didn’t make good on my commitment I headed on up to the show anyway. Too bad I did so on the wrong night. Heads up kids, March 25th was on Sunday, not Saturday. Yay me.
