Tonight at 5pm on a special edition of Champions of the Local Scene, we are pleased to have an interview with producer-beatmaker-scientist of sound Engone Endong! June 18th will mark the release of Engone Endong's new album #OKENG, which will be the first release on new Montreal label Unlog (listen to Unlog's label profile from Champs last week!)

Montreal-based rock 'n' roll femme power trio Towanda came by CJLO's Oven Studio recently to record a session (one that we could hear clear across the courtyard!) We are excited to debut this session on Fear of Music tomorrow (Tuesdays @ 4pm) and to have Towanda back in the studio for an interview!

June 12th. Friday night. Still soaking wet from the pouring rain outside. I speed through the streets to arrive at the doors of La Chapelle in sight.

7:37. Great. I’m already late for the premiere performance of Doggy dans gravel (aka Doggy). I try to mumble some sort of excuse to the lady at the door. She signals me to stop making a scene and just enter the room.

I hurry. I sit on the stairs right next to the theatre benches as quietly as I can be...

Captain Aurora: A Superhero Musical hits exactly the right chord as this highly professional and fully fleshed-out musical comedy sings and dances its way into the Fringe history hall of fame.

The play tells the story of a banker-by-day/superhero-by-night lead who struggles to find purpose in an increasingly routine life. When her life is shaken up by political plot, alien invasion and the threat of exposure, Captain Aurora will have to rise to the challenge, regardless of the sacrifices she may unwillingly make on the way.
