TASTE OF CHAOS: The Used + My Chemical Romance @ Stade Uniprix

March 6 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Nikkie - More Rock Than A Crackhouse - 03/03/2005

Take the essence of the Warped Tour (angry mallrats, merch and overpriced food), add to this too many scenesters and bad hairdos and a stage sponsored by myspace.com and what you get is the Warped Tour’s new sibling, the Taste Of Chaos Tour. Don’t get me wrong, the idea behind Taste Of Chaos was pure genius: a harder, louder, smaller version of the Warped Tour featuring the hottest screamo bands of the moment. The results however… not so hot.

THE MUSIC + Kasabian @ Cabaret La Tulipe

March 5 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jordan-na - Canadian Invasion - 02/24/2005

There was something in the smoky air of La Tulipe that Thursday night. Something special was about to happen. It was a night of firsts: first time seeing a live show at La Tulipe, first time hearing The Music and Kasabian, and first time being completely blown away by the opening act. Minutes before Kasabian took the stage, I leaned over to my friend and said ‘This is gonna be good.” I could not have been more right.

SHIVAREE + Shoot The Moon @ Main Hall

March 3 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Jordan-na - Canadian Invasion - 02/14/2005

On Monday February 14th, love was in the air. California band Shivaree crept into Montreal and stole the hearts of those attending their show at the Main Hall with an inviting evening of warm music on a cold night.

NEKO CASE + the Sadies + Visqueen @ Club Soda

February 27 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Lisa F. - Nostalgia for the Present - 02/11/2005

THE FUTUREHEADS + Shoutout Louds + High Speed Scene @ El Salon

February 26 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Alex - Losing My Edge - 02/26/2005

Snowstorm Vol. I CD Release Party: Squalor + Pete Möss + Floating Widget + Medusa Head Trip + Absolu @ Foufounes Électriques

February 25 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


By Angelica - BVST - 02/16/2005

This was THE night for celebrating the best that the Montreal stoner rock scene has to offer. Tickets were cheap, beer was flowin' freely, and "paraphernalia" was handed out at the door, so the crowd was definitely ready to get down, and they weren't disappointed.

TO LIVE AND SHAVE IN L.A. + Monotract + Double Leopards @ Tonic

February 23 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Alex - Losing My Edge - 09/18/2004

HIGH ON FIRE - Blessed Black Wings

February 23 2005 // Magazine // Music Reviews

By Robot - No Sleep Til Bedtime - 02/01/2005

I thought I’d better review this one before somebody else at CJLO does, ‘cause it’s looking like it’s gonna be the hottest record in the Metal department for at least a month, and I bet at least a few rock/punk/alt shows will be playing it (I can name names).

TEGAN & SARA + Lindy @ Cabaret La Tulipe

February 23 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews


By Mikey B - The Lonesome Stranger - 02/19/2005

KEANE + the Zutons @ Metropolis

February 22 2005 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

By Mikey B - The Lonesome Stranger - 02/12/2005

I can specifically remember working on a crisp late summer day in Fairview. It’s those kinds of days where the slightest thing would piss you off… People who know me best know that it takes a lot to piss me off. I can take most physical and verbal abuse and still have a pseudo-smile on my face. This particular day at HMV, however, just killed my spirit. Not because of co-workers, and surprisingly not because of jerk-off customers, but because of the store playlist.
