KEVIN DREW + Los Campesinos! @ Le National

It’s funny how expectations work. A couple of years ago, I went to a Libertines concert -- not to see them specifically (I thought they were over-hyped and undercooked), but instead to catch a rare stateside appearance by Wales-based post-punk band Mclusky. Most of the audience didn’t seem to agree, but I thought their taut menace and sly wit easily outpaced the more popular headliner.

THE SWELL SEASON @ Le National

December 10 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Stephanie Ng Wan - We.Are.Canadian - 11/22/2007

Earlier this year, a small independent movie called Once, featuring Glen Hansard, frontman of Irish rock band The Frames and budding Czech singer Markéta Irglová in the lead roles, hit theatres.  Deemed the musical of our generation, Once generated quite a bit of buzz for a film shot for just $160, 000 (peanuts in comparison to the blockbusters of our day). 

THE BEDOUIN SOUNDCLASH @ Metropolis

Sunday, November 25th 2007 brought some serious talent to Montreal’s Metropolis. Bedouin Soundclash put on one heck of a show. The venue was packed and full of energy from the get-go, and the band managed to cater to the musical taste of both the young and old.

THE TWO KOREAS @ Saphir Bar

November 12 2007 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jessica Hemmerich -  On The Rocks - 10/04/2007

I felt like it was a concert especially for me. I stood front row center (not that there were enough people to even make a row) in the midst of Saphir Bar's red lights, which set the mood for what would turn out to be a killer night.

MUTE MATH @ Le National

By Jessica Hemmerich - On The Rocks - 09/05/2007

For the second time this year, Montrealers had the amazing opportunity of seeing Mute Math in concert. On Thursday September 5th, the band performed at Le National for their Fall Tour.
