Suoni Per Il Popolo: Wyrd Fest @ La Sala Rossa

This one's going to be a doozie: 10 bands played the Wyrd MTL festival on June 20th and I only have 600 words to run down each of their sets. Yikes! Get ready for a hardcore attention deficit concert review. This review will be especially difficult as throughout the course of the show the only thing I could say about most sets was that they were "…weird, well not like actually weird, but like, I'm such an idiot because it's called Wyrd MTL. This is so frustrating."


FrancoFolies: Akhenaton & Faf Larage + Anodajay @ Metropolis

On June 16th, for the FrancoFolies de Montreal, I went to Metropolis to see Akhenaton and Faf Larage with Quebec rapper Anodajay opening. The show started at 21h, but by 20h30 the place was packed; this was going to be a good night.


Bound for Beijing

*Editor's Note: This article marks the begining of a weekly travel blog by Natasha P, a CJLO correspondent currently on exchange in Beijing, that will cover her experiences training in Beijing Opera and living in China.*

8 months of training, 4 performances, 6 hours of paperwork, 14 hours in transit and now I find myself sitting in a hotel room on the other side of the world looking out over Beijing.
