POP Montreal 2015: Commander Clark @ Empire Exchange

September 23 2015 // Sue Snyder // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Presented by POP Montreal and Oh Hi

Commander Clark doesn't play it cool. He first popped up on our radar during POP Montreal 2014 when he was invited up on stage to co-host Psi Factor and the Cougar's Str8 Talk interview with Ty Segall and Mikey Heppner. He gushed, he over-shared, he played a Ty Segall song on kazoo. So like, who was this guy with a comic book persona who wasn't afraid to dork out in front of a room full of strangers? Naturally, we had to find out.

POP Montreal 2015: The Sonics @ Théâtre Fairmount

September 23 2015 // Sue Snyder // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Presented by POP Montreal, Blue Skies Turn Black, and Vice

The question you hear most when you tell someone you've been to see a band who made their start in the '60s, as The Sonics did, is "but can they still rock?"

Yes, yes, emphatically yes.

POP Montreal 2015: Les Marinellis @ Théâtre Fairmount

September 22 2015 // Stephanie Dee // Magazine // Concert Reviews

POP You Did Me Wrong

It was day two of POP Montreal, and after consuming my fill of veggie dogs & beer at the Quartiers POP barbecue and taking a quick cat nap, I made my way to Théâtre Fairmount and got there just in time to catch Les Marinellis opening for Mikal Cronin. It was quite disappointing to discover the band playing to a virtually empty room. That big open space in front of the stage was probably the worst thing about POP Montreal this year, and this particular performance by the band was lacklustre as a result.

Viceroy Tonight on The Trend at 9 PM

September 22 2015 // Robo DJ // CJLO

On tonight's episode of The Trend at 9PM we will be interviewing Montreal artist Viceroy. He came to our attention when we read his article in the Community Contact entitled Listen Up. On Friday, September 18th he released his mixtape Coming of Age on Dat Piff. I would love to tell you more about Viceroy, but I would rather you hear it from himself so make sure to tune in tonight. If you still want to get to know him a little more before tonight's show, check out his website and social media outlets:

POP Montreal 2015: Three songwriting tips from Andy Kim!

No Aloha Live @ CJLO

September 19 2015 // Sessions

No Aloha is four chill dudes from Montreal who write sick pop tunes influenced by garage rock and psych. They played a couple of shows at this years Pop Montreal, so we decided to invite them by for our Pop Montreal sessions series. These tracks are a good ol' gritty time. They go down smooth, like a 6 pack of cheap beer on a hot sunny day.

Sue from the 'Cult of Yes' picks her POP favourites

Look, we can fight about it if you want. Sure, classes have begun and we'll soon be drowning in pumpkin spice everything, but I say summer's not over until POP Montreal is over. Stamped it, no erasies. POP is a five-day party featuring hundreds of your favourite bands (and new favourite bands) plus symposia, visual art, film, crafts galore at Puces POP and so much more. So gather 'round, let's plan out our last hurrah before the summer officially slips away, shall we?
