HERBERT @ Club Soda

By Trevor Kiernander - Ones and Zeroes - 08/24/2006

One thing is for certain, when you go to see Matthew Herbert perform, you can’t be sure what you are going to get. This definitely held up with his recent, not-so-sold-out performance at Club Soda.

RANCID + The Ripcordz @ Spectrum

By Lisa Sookraj - Unsystem-Addict - 08/29/2006

I had never seen Rancid live and was looking forward to it, especially after seeing NOFX a few months ago -- another band I'd wanted to see since I was 17. My buddy Drew accompanied me to see Rancid on the first of three nights they played in Montreal. Openers for the other two nights were the Slackers on the 30th and the Planet Smashers on the 31st. Other bands Rancid are playing with on the current tour include Sick Of It All, Avail, the Aquabats and H20.


GARY NUMAN + New Skin @ Le National

By Lisa S - Unsystem-Addict - 08/05/2006

Regarding the venue -- I'd never previously been to Le National and I must say this was one of the best things about the Gary Numan show for me. I like that the floor is on a slope, so you can see the stage well over the crowd anywhere you happen to stand. However, this feature was not necessarily necessary for the Numan show in particular, as there were far less people there than I had expected. That said, it was not packed at all and everyone had lots of room to themselves to move about as they pleased, though despite the room not many people were really dancing.
