Remember the freedom you felt as a kid when you could finally dump those heavy winter boots and parkas and run around the neighbourhood wearing just your kicks and a 5$ bill in your pocket? You could buy so much candy for 5 bucks back then. CJLO is here to bring back that feeling and get you ready for this awesome sunny weather we've been having.

The theme for this round of the CJLO Mix Tape Club is Spring Fever! Sunny tunes to enhance your mood and get you pumped to go outside.

Tonight at 6pm on Champions of the Local Scene- we preview Rap Battle 4 Gender Freedom, happening this Saturday at Reggie's (1455 de Maisonneuve W.). Lucas Charlie Rose, a QTPOC multidisciplinary Hip Hop artist who is very active in the trans and anti-racist activist scenes, will come by to tell us more about the event (which is the 5th in a series of Rap Battles for Social Justice.) 

Coming up tonight (Tuesday) at 9pm on The Trend, we have talented home-grown actor Spiro Malandrakis!

Following a major supporting role in the U.S. on Discovery's new series Real Detective, Spiro continues his steady rise to stardom with a recurring role on Bravo's award-winning series 19-2. Over the course of 6 episodes in this year's upcoming 3rd season, Spiro joins the talented cast of 19-2 (Jared Keeso, Adrian Holmes) in a game-changing role—both for his career as much as for the show—that's set to shake up the plot in a major way!

This was one of those shows that separated the true from the false, the poseurs from the authentic headbanging stalwarts of the metal scene. This was the closest approximation of the hall of which Manowar spoke, the same hall that Sarcofago said falses must not entry because they would consequently be burned and died. This shit was serious. It was also another instance of Piranha Bar picking up the slack with the metal shows in this city. It is becoming a real nexus point in Montreal's metal scene, as the improved space in the bar's upstairs area is able to take on more and bigger shows. I find this to be a welcome change, as we can use all of the friendly venues for heavy metal music that we can get.
