CJLO DJ Ceylan sat down with Will Anderson of New York-based shoegaze band Hotline TNT to chat about touring, musical influences, and more, ahead of their show September 30th at Montreal's Bar Le Ritz. 

Jessica Pratt shone on Wednesday, as she played to a sold-out show at Montréal’s historic La Tulipe. With a brilliantly unique voice which sounds as though she time travelled from the 1930s with its transatlantic quirks, Pratt has been a critical darling, bubbling under the mainstream in the indie folk scene for a while.

Lingering feelings of summer were high this past Saturday, after a hot, heartening night of music at Bar l’Escogriffe. After this perfectly orchestrated, totally satisfying lineup of Chanel Beads, Kassie Krut and Can’t Believe, Saint Denis was bustling with show-goers, riding on a high, as the recently applauded artists casually walked out onto the streets. This three-act bill took us on a deep exploration of a fresh melange of electronic, noise, pop music, and even elements of contemporary folk, with resonant and introspective lyrics carrying us through the night. It felt like we had been taken on a journey, all the while remaining grounded in the steamy, red-hued room. 

On September 12th, 2024 FJStar hit the stage with a group she formed specifically for the release of her album TO BE YOUNG. The original show had been rescheduled because of the floods back on August 9th. They had to change venues, continue rehearsals, and re-organize another show.
