JASON MRAZ + Raul Midon @ Spectrum

October 22 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jordan-na Belle-Isle - Canadian Invasion - 10/06/2005

Like, omigod! I got to see Jason Mraz headline at the Spectrum and it was, like, pretty okay. And I’m not into him because he’s hot or anything! It’s about the music, you know, totally about the music. But he is soooooo hot, omigod! And he wore a pink t-shirt (his new single is “Geek in the Pink” ;) ) and his trademark backward baseball hat, so cute!

TRICKY WOO + The Leather Uppers @ Petit Campus

October 18 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Angelica - BVST - 10/08/2005

As I get older and the weather gets colder, it becomes more and more tempting to not go out on a Saturday night. I came close to skipping out on last weekend's hot date: Tricky Woo with Top Brass and The Leather Uppers. I then remembered that that not only are Tricky Woo one of my favorite bands, they've been doing this since I was still trading stickers with my friends (well, almost) so my encroaching old age is certainly not an excuse.

THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS + Destroyer @ Cabaret La Tulipe

October 11 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Alex Huynh - Losing My Edge - 10/10/2005

STARS + Hope For A Golden Summer + Donkey Heart @ Art En Majuscule

October 6 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Katie Seline - Wrong Side of the Bed - 09/30/2005

What I love most about this city is its easy access to great bands in intimate settings. Last Friday I was privileged enough to be able to attend the 150 tickets-only Quiet Fire II show at Art En Majuscule, in the warehouse district of the Old Port. This would be the end of my Pop Montreal binge, and was without a doubt the greatest possible way to pack it in.

WE ARE WOLVES + Sailboats Are White @ La Sala Rossa

September 30 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Trevor Kiernander - Ones and Zeroes - 09/16/2005

Well I am here once again to report some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that due to technical difficulties and the metro schedule, I was unable to check out The Gossip at La Sala Rossa on September 22. The good news is that We Are Wolves rocked my kneecaps off and my fists into the air!

M.I.A. + Spank Rock @ Metropolis

September 30 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Trevor Kiernander - Ones and Zeroes - 09/24/2005

There isn’t much to be said about M.I.A. that hasn’t already been over-said. Yet, she's not over-hyped. The rumours and press are 110% true that M.I.A. can rock a party right, and though everyone and their sister Sally is talking about her, M.I.A. deserves all the respect she gets.

SUPERVILLAIN - Earthquake Machine

September 26 2005 // Magazine // Music Reviews

By Zombieboy - The Almighty Riff - 05/01/2005

GLENN HUGHES - Soul Mover

APOCALYPTICA @ Spectrum

September 22 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Johnny Suck - Turn Down the Suck - 09/16/2005

SEU JORGE + Carioca Freitas @ Club Soda

September 18 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Trevor Kiernander - Ones and Zeroes - 09/10/2005

For those of you who keep up to date on reading these reviews, you may have noticed that I can be a tad bit cynical (in regards to shows, not movies). My reviews usually teeter between how great the show was, and my sheer disgust and contempt for the audience. So this is what I was conditioning myself for with Seu Jorge playing at Club Soda on September 10.
