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.

From: Pirate! Steve Theo

To: Joshua Mocle

Do you guys (or anyone there) want to go see Matt and Kim tomorrow, or do an interview, or a phoner, or anything?

If you don't Josh can't come back to Pirate!

OK maybe I'm lying!

DAY 1

Osheaga 2008 started off a little pear shaped, what with the immense crowd of high school kids in flat shoes. Aside from that the weather wasn't all that great either. Luckily it didn't rain as much as expected…just a few drops of water here and there.

BLACK KIDS @ Cabaret Du Musee

The Cure would have either puked or danced to the fun, upbeat tunes that Black Kids were pumping out at Their highly anticipated show at Cabaret Juste Pour Rire last Saturday.

The stage was overtaken by a whole lotta fashionistas when the Kids took over. They walked on in, uniformed by loud colors, cute prints, pointy-toed shoes on the men and big gold jewelry on the ladies. The cute factor was overwhelming.

I must admit that reviewing this show provided the kind of challenge I usually enjoy. While not being overly familiar with three out of the four bands on the bill (including both headliners), one would think it would provide me with a relatively unbiased outlook on the proceedings. However, I’ve unfortunately discovered that unless you really enjoy the bands on bills like this beforehand, you aren’t really going to enjoy yourself. 

MIRACLE FORTRESS + Laurent Bourque + Caroline Keating @ La Tulipe

If you could think of the most perfect song of all time, what would it be?

Everybody has a favorite, one that can make the hair on their arms stand still at any given time… but does such a PERFECT song exist? Music is by all means tailored to varying individual tastes, that being said, my vote would go to "God Only knows" by the Beach Boys. Given the situation, it can put a grin on my face, or leave me in tears. It will certainly be the first song played on my wedding day, and the last song heard at my funeral.
