THE SWELL SEASON @ Le National

By Stephanie Ng Wan - We.Are.Canadian - 11/22/2007

Earlier this year, a small independent movie called Once, featuring Glen Hansard, frontman of Irish rock band The Frames and budding Czech singer Markéta Irglová in the lead roles, hit theatres.  Deemed the musical of our generation, Once generated quite a bit of buzz for a film shot for just $160, 000 (peanuts in comparison to the blockbusters of our day). 


THE BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH @ Metropolis

By Emily Kerrigan - On The Rocks- 11/25/2007

Sunday, November 25th 2007 brought some serious talent to Montreal’s Metropolis. Bedouin Soundclash put on one heck of a show. The venue was packed and full of energy from the get-go, and the band managed to cater to the musical taste of both the young and old.

THE TWO KOREAS @ Saphir Bar

By Jessica Hemmerich -  On The Rocks - 10/04/2007

I felt like it was a concert especially for me. I stood front row center (not that there were enough people to even make a row) in the midst of Saphir Bar's red lights, which set the mood for what would turn out to be a killer night.


MUTE MATH @ Le National

By Jessica Hemmerich - On The Rocks - 09/05/2007

For the second time this year, Montrealers had the amazing opportunity of seeing Mute Math in concert. On Thursday September 5th, the band performed at Le National for their Fall Tour.


MAD CADDIES + Real McKenzies + Saint Catherines @ Le Tulipe

By Lindsay Wood - 07/29/2007

Last night’s show was a trip down memory lane, an eye opening reminder that there is still some very good punk rock coming out of the Canadian scene and a relaxing reconnection with the California ska scene.

The Real McKenzies, The Sainte Catherines and The Mad Caddies put on a show that oozed a smorgasbord of emotions into the audience all night long.
