ANDREW BIRD + A Hawk and A Hacksaw @ Metropolis

June 1 2009 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Simon Howell - Sound On Sight - 04/04/2009

Some people have a way of making you feel like an asshole - people who seem to use every ounce of their energy radiating good vibes and generally make every effort to be singularly awesome. Andrew Bird is one of those people. While his idiosyncratic brand of string-laden, densely layered indie-pop surely isn't to everyone's liking, his instrumental prowess, boundless energy and lyrical dexterity are, at the very least, noteworthy. By comparison, even impressive performers can seem ordinary.

NOMO + Turtleboy @ Green Room

LATE OF THE PIER + The Whip @ Les Saints

May 18 2009 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Sophia Linhaires - Colour It Indie - 04/09/2009

I can easily say that this was by far the best concert I have been to in quite some time. The show was an overall hit. Though the crowd was fairly small, more people showed up than I expected. I really was convinced it was going to be a dead night due to the fact that Black Kids where playing with Mates of State that very same night. In the end it looks like I made the right choice by going to Late of the Pier and The Whip instead.

LAMB OF GOD + Children of Bodom @ CEPSUM

May 17 2009 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Christine Lariviere - The Lonesome Strangers - 04/17/2009

On April 17th I threw on my well worn, black t-shirt bearing a lightning bolt down the front -a shirt that has survived countless brutal slams in the pit and has been soaked in buckets of other people’s sloppily spilt beer. Wearing this shirt out could only mean one thing: I was going to a metal show.  

BEAST @ Club Soda

May 17 2009 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Nathaly Arraiz - Two Hours Of Terror - 04/23/2009

Power. To sum up my experience at the latest performance by Montreal's own Beast, they blew me out with their power. My expectations were surpassed by the attitude of their performance. They might be a new band (their first album debuted November 2008) but these guys are no strangers to the stage.

PETER, BJORN & JOHN + Chairlift @ Le National

May 4 2009 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Lindsay Wood - Through Being Cool - 04/27/2009

In 1999, a very trendy, easy to listen to and easy to look at group was born. They even had a member named Bjorn…and Peter and John. On Monday, April 28th they came to Montreal with openers Chairlift.
