The Street Dogs + Off With Their Heads + Murder the Stout + The Prowlers @ Foufounes Electriques

December 21 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

I remember finishing many a week as a bike courier at Foufs on a Friday night with one too many beers. The gates in front of the bar were littered with various bikes in various states of disrepair, and the tables inside were littered with bike helmets, courier bags, and empty glasses. With that in mind, I was amazed to realize that this was the first time I’ve actually seen a live show there.

Chris Velan @ Petit Cafe Campus

December 20 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

It was homecoming for Montreal’s own Chris Velan on Thursday, December 8th; he rocked out for a crowd of about 50 at Petit Café Campus for the first time in over a year. “I will never do that again,” vowed Velan about being away from his hometown for so long, and I hope he keeps his word.

VNV Nation @ Club Soda

December 19 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

I've been listening to dark wave for a long time now, but truth be told I had never actually been to a show by a dark wave band. I had gone to industrial shows, but industrial and dark wave are not the same thing (an essay to write for another time). So, how fitting that the first one I go to is fronted by one of the foremost groups associated with the genre, VNV Nation.

The Tea Party @ Metropolis

December 16 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

I first heard The Tea Party in 1993 when my high school friend Sheila bought me their album Spendor Solis. It was open when she handed it to me; "I already listened to it and didn't like it very much," she told me. Having already heard "The River," I thought my fate would be different.
