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.

“Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.”

On September 10th, 2024, Birds in Row made their third cross-continental journey to Montreal, all the way from Laval. Laval, France, that is. Exploding onto France’s Hardcore Punk scene with their debut album You, Me and The Violence in 2012, they’ve evolved to a more atmospheric sound with noise-rock and 90s alt-rock influences over the course of two more albums and a handful of EPs.

If anything can foretell how good a show will be, it's the empty stage of the Beanfield. Covered in a truly surprising amount of instruments for a five-man band, red light glistens off drums, bass, three guitars, and an array of keyboards and wind instruments.

It’s always funny how depending on what day you see a concert, it can add a whole new dimension and energy to a show. We all know the woes of dragging yourself out to a Monday or Tuesday night show, and the enthusiasm and rejuvenation that a Friday night show could bring. So what about a Sunday show? And on top of that, a Sunday show in the middle of the last long weekend of summer?
