Interviews

After discovering Hero’s Last Rite while doing my research form the Thrash Metal episode of the Iron Club, I was intrigued by the little heavy band from Fredericton, New-Brunswick. After exchanging a few emails, I got my first phone interview with singer Steve McDonald and here is the transcription of that phone interview.

JP Bernier : “I’m with Steve McDonald, frontman of Hero’s Last Rite, a band from New-Brunswick. Hi Steve, how are you?”

Today on Fatal Attraction on CJLO 1690AM, Patricia interviews the gorgeous Booze Crotch and Michael J McCarthy from Glam Gam Productions! about their upcoming Festival St-Ambroise Fringe de Montréal

Fiona, co-host of Moonstruck on CJLO 1690 AM, recently met with Superorganism member Soul, discussing songwriting, growing success, and more, only a few weeks after the release of their self-titled full-length album.

Since you’re one of the band members that doesn’t really live with the rest of the members in London, how do you find the creative process to work? When writing your songs and what not?

It’s always a nice surprise to hear that one of your favorite groups is coming to town. What can be even better? How about a phone conversation with them a day before they go on stage? This week, I had the privilege to speak with Majid Jordan, who were on their way to Montreal to perform the first show of their 2018 North American Tour. Here are the highlights from our 20 minute conversation.

Akeem: Welcome to Montreal. You guys have been here in the past, what do you look forward to when you get to Montreal?

Jordan: Just energy. Singing. Dancing. The crowd is incredible here. I always say one of the best crowds in the world

Montreal psych band A Devil’s Din dropped by CJLO and joined host Clifton Hanger during Brave New Jams to talk about their new album, One Hallucination Under God. Getting ready for the official launch of the album on September 29, the band in pre-launch mode came equipped with a hard drive full of new tunes and instruments for a live acoustic set.

Monday July 10th be sure to set your alarms for 6pm because Honeydrip from Waves of Honey will be having Robert Robert as a guest on Flat Cola Presents. Robert Robert is a Montreal producer/DJ who has worked his way up in the industry alongside his good friends and fellow artists Thomas White and Ryan Playground. Recently signed to Nowadays Records in France, he released his 4th work "Welcome to Finetown" which is filled with beautiful electronic compositions and the first album where he shares with us his vocal capabilities.

Robert Robert is having a release party at Newspeak on July 15th. Honeydrip and Robert Robert are good friends so amongst discussing his music and release party expect some wacky and sarcastic conversations!

This Saturday, Montreal will welcome Grammy-award winning DJ and electronic music producer Paul van Dyk at New City Gas as part of his ongoing North American tour. CJLO has taken the time to speak to the man himself about his upcoming show, his passion for music, and his newest music and plans.

How does it feel to be back in Montreal? Are there any memories you have of the city?

I’m thrilled to be back in Montreal, it’s certainly one of my favorite places to visit in Canada. I always feel so much genuine love from the crowds here.
