This past May 3rd, Sala Rossa was darker than usual (or it certainly seemed that way) and the room was half-empty (or half-full, depending on your outlook). The show was slow to start - although once it did, the crowd inexplicably maintained a consistent 5 foot distance from the stage. Whether it was because they were curious to watch the projections on the white screen at the back of the stage, or because they were afraid of getting their eardrums blown out, I can't say for sure.

Ever wonder what happened to Industrial music in Montreal?  Well, tune into Grade A Explosives on Sunday when Andrew talks to a member of the Industrial scene, Left Side Neighbour.  Andrew will be asking tough questions like the state of the scene in the city, where he thinks the genre is headed, and what color socks he perfers to wear.  So tune in at www.cjlo.com from 4-6PM.

Stereotypes aside, there was certainly a theme to the evening at Club Soda on Saturday, May 28. Leather, chains and heavy black eyeliner abound, along with many rockabilly do’s, tight jeans on dudes and Dr. Martens on every second pair of feet.
