MERCURY REV + Dean & Britta @ Cabaret Du Musee

December 17 2008 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

As I walked into the Cabaret du Musée on Monday, December 8 to see the Mercury Rev, I wondered to myself, "I wonder how they are going to pull off "The Dark is Rising?" This fan favourite track is representative of the band's sound: dramatic, over-the-top orchestration with dynamics that keep the listener at the song's mercy. I am pleased to report that the show did not fall short of the standard set by the band's recordings.

THE BRAVERY @ Le National

I’ve put off writing this review for what feel’s like centuries, during which time we’ve gotten a new magazine editor, I have my own show, CJLO is on 1690 AM and Barack Obama has been elected president, oh yeah and it’s snowing outside! 

Usually when you see a band perform it’s a thrilling experience, you sway or dance and if you’re really having fun you shed a few tears of happiness. Not in this case, the show was unwatchable and at times painful! The only thing crying in the venue were my ears and I’m pretty sure that’s anatomically incorrect.

CITIZEN COPE @ Cabaret Du Musee

"I love you!” “Oh my god he’s so hot” “Cope I want to have your babies!”

M83 + School of Seven Bells @ Cabaret Du Musee

CHRIS CORNELL @ Metropolis

November 30 2008 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Rebecca Munroe - Charts & Crafts - 11/23/2008

In a split second it looked like it could be 1992 when Chris Cornell took the stage Sunday night, what with the grey jeans and grunge like beige and grey plaid shirt he was wearing.  Yet the song he started with, “Part of Me,” from his new, Timbaland produced Scream Album, is anything but grunge. 

THE HERBALISER + Grand Analog @ Le National

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL + Matt Mays and El Torpedo @ Les Saints

November 24 2008 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Angelica Calcagnile - BVST - 11/14/2008

Ah, anticipation. I had been looking forward to seeing the Eagles of Death Metal at Les Saints all week and I was ready to rock. After the epic boneriffic stomp of Bison B.C. on Monday and the jawdropping spectacle of Nine Inch Nails on Wednesday (both excellent shows), I was excited to end the week with some swampy booty shakin' action. I wanted to dress up, dress down and get hot and bothered in a room full of strangers... not a lot to ask for on a Friday night.
