On Saturday night, Montreal seems to have been injected with hydrogen. Groups of girls wearing pointy heels half-run, half-shuffle along the sidewalk, late for somebody's pre-game or maybe a house party. They stumble, nearly trip, laugh at their gorgeous, impractical choice in footwear, and then continue running towards the crosswalk. 

Coco and Clair Clair, the bratty alt-pop/rap duo from Atlanta began their Girl tour in Montreal at intimate Le Studio TD. Despite it being a Tuesday night, they were warmly welcomed by a crowded audience of Y2K fashionistas, parasocial relationship-ed young people, and Pitchfork-vibed adult dudes. 

Amenra took over Studio TD on Friday, September 27th, bringing their atmospheric metal sound - at once referred to as “extreme metal”, “post-metal”, and “atmospheric sludge metal” depending on who you ask (and which album you’re looking at), though it’s probably easiest to describe them as blackened post-metal.

Walking To Place Bell from Montmorency was a cool experience as my hyped built and built and built. A lot of these artists from this lineup I've been a fan of for years, so this was really a cool experience. And the hype did not disappoint. Though I didn't get to see all of EKKSTACY's performance, I overheard him playing his biggest hit "i walk this earth all by myself" as I was walking to my seat.. which was a real treat for me.

It’s the eve of Libra season and there’s no better way to celebrate than by attending a Liana Flores concert, queen of Venusian themes: flowers, trees, dewdrops and rain, softness, friendship, romance as a way of life.
