-The Unsettlers

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, there are two really big shows at Cafe Campus. Tonight, Keller Williams brings his amazing guitar skills and humour to the stage at Petit Campus, blending bluegrass, folk and reggae into writing songs about being a contestant on The Price is Right and a certain combustible in his pocket; a good time should be had by all.

On this episode of View From the Venue, I sat down for a chat at Bar L'Absynth with Montreal's own alternative rock act Solids, whose live show just so happens to live up to their name. These days they're tearing it up on the east coast on a short tour in Newfoundland. The duo talk playing in basements, cross-format music releases and the benefits of being a two man band. Check out their EP, Generic Dogs.

Behind the Scenes: Funding Drive

March 5 2012 // Magazine // Features

The purpose of any funding drive is to raise funds, but I went into organizing this year’s event focused on making strong ties to the community first. Starting something that hasn’t been done before means creating a strong foundation for future years. Whether it was finding major sponsors for the drive or local businesses to partner up with for the Friends Card program, there was pavement to pound.

Crocodiles + Bleeding Rainbow @ Casa Del Popolo

On February 22nd, Crocodiles (ex-Some Girls, ex-The Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower) brought their lo-fi, noise-pop jams to Casa Del Popolo. It was the band’s second stint in Montreal.

Film Review - Goon

March 2 2012 // Magazine // Features

Hockey fans rejoice! A modern day Canadian hockey tale has come to cinemas and it will get your blood pumping and make you wonder if there is a hockey game playing tonight. I had the pleasure of attending the premiere in Montreal and got a chance to talk to the stars about their very Canadian oriented project. Director Michael Dowse was quite excited about premiering the film at the Amc Forum; it was a perfect fit for the night’s hockey theme.
