Pouzzafest, Montreal's very own punk festival is but two sleeps away- its 5th edition taking place Friday May 15 to Sunday May 17 with over 200 groups participating. Tonight, on a special Pouzza themed edition of Champions of the Local Scene, we will have The Couch Addiction play an acoustic set live in studio! The Couch Addiction is a Montreal ska-core band that formed in 1999 and was active until 2006.

“It was ok” is a self-produced stand-up special, originally released independently by David Heti, and now available through Stand Up! Records. It is available as an audio recording and also with video; the special was filmed in front of a live audience at Grumpy’s here in Montreal, that fact alone makes me counsel you to buy it. It is also quite funny. 

UPDATE: Due to some scheduling conflicts, Drone Day on the 9th will now be held at Eastern Bloc.  This has been corredted below.  The show on May 8th will still be held at La Passe.

Imagine receiving an inspirational letter from John Lennon later on in life. This is what happened to Steve Tilston, and it is the basic premise for the drama comedy Danny Collins. Instead of being the general audience film, it takes risks with it's 13 + rating. The film stars Al Pacino (The Godfather Trilogy, Scarface, Scent of a Women), Christopher Plummer (Beginners, The Last Station), Annette Bening (American Beauty, The Kids Are All Right), Jennifer Gardner (Alias, Dallas Buyers Club) and Bobby Cannavale (Boardwalk Empire, Blue Jasmine).
