The Slackers (20th Anniversary) @ Cabaret du Mile End

November 22 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


I must admit, I’ve never attended a concert on a high holiday before. However, how could any music lover turn down seeing The Slackers perform live, even if the show coincided with one of the most festive weekends of the year: Halloween?

The Sounds @ Club Soda

November 14 2011 // Magazine // Music Reviews

First of all, let me start off by saying that The Sounds are one of my favorite bands and after I saw this show, they're also in my list of top 5 live performances. This Swedish band really rocked it. I had never been to Club Soda for a show before, but I knew they had balconies and I knew that is where I wanted to write my piece. It was the perfect vantage point.

Amos Lee @ Metropolis

November 11 2011 // Magazine // Music Reviews

Walking down Sainte-Catherine towards Metropolis on a Tuesday evening in unpleasant weather doesn’t do much to psych someone up for a concert. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the venue to see a bustle of people eager to see Amos Lee. Not knowing much about Amos Lee, I was still a little skeptical and hadn't fully made my mind up yet about his music.

Amon Tobin + Emika @ Metropolis

November 4 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

October 24th marked the return of Amon Tobin’s ISAM show in Montreal, following a premiere last June at Mutek ‘11.

The Barr Brothers @ Cabaret La Tulipe

October 28 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Zola Jesus + Xanopticon @ Il Motore

Twin Shadow + Diamond Rings @ Theatre Corona

October 21 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Theatre Corona is the finest venue I’ve been to in Montreal thus far. I admire the classical old theatre look and feel that it has, not to mention the live sound. Even though the tickets may be costly, it is well worth the dough.
