Metal Monday: Heavy Montreal guide

July 27 2015 // CJLO

Heavy Montreal (though c'mon, wasn't Heavy MTL kind of a cooler name?) is less than two weeks away, and we at CJLO are no slouches when it comes to doing stuff with the festival. In addition to giving away passes on air (which you can still win on Friday, July 31 on Beyond That Graveyard III from 9 - midnight and Grade A Explosives on Sunday, August 2 from 4 - 6PM), we've been doing interviews on site for the past two years and have always had an awesome time of doing so. Before I start let me say that a lot of this is lifted from the Heavy FAQ page located here: http://info.heavymontreal.com/.

Sarah Stupar talks Zoofest / JFL / OFF-JFL

July 20 2015 // Sarah Stupar // CJLO

JFL is here kiddies, or as I like to call it, comedy Christmas. Personally I find JFL (including Off-JFL and Zoofest) to be the best festival in town. Place des Arts gets transformed into some kind of crazy carnival complete with freaks and weird performance art, and the funniest of the funny descend on Montreal to bring laughter to the naughty AND nice! I'll be walking the JFL beat for the whole festival, follow my advice and laughter will ensue.
