Review by Marie-Lou Plante On April 3rd, if you were not at Feed Me’s sound mass, you missed something. As surprising as it could be, hipsters, muscles men, Skrillexfangirls and others head banged in a beautiful mess at the Club Soda. Darth Vader wearing a glow stick necklace? Why not. Deadmau5 or Pokemon hat? As long as you enjoy the [...]

Pictures by Marie-Claire Denis Review by Lili-Anh Le Minh On February 23rd, Simple Plan did their first big Bell Center comeback since 2008. This time, they brought along fellow Canadian bands These Kids Wear Crowns and Marianas Trench as well as American band All Time Low; a pretty amazing lineup in my eyes and I’m sure most of the fans [...]

Review by Marie-Lou Plante One of the most famous Quebec electronic bands, Misteur Valaire, will make their first appearance at Studio 12 on Radio-Canada this Sunday. As luck would have it, I won a pair of tickets to assist to the recording Wednesday. They invited a new rap scene figure, SoCalled, who is an artist as surprising as the quintet [...]

Review by Marie-Lou P Boom. Boom. Boom. As I was approaching the entrance of the festival, my heart was synchronizing to the sound emanating from the Quays. With the bad weather all day long, alternating between rain, snow and freezing rain, we could almost rename the festival “Lakefest” instead of “Igloofest”. Enormous water holes and mud were therefore wetting my [...]

Friday night I had the opportunity to attend Down With Webster`s first appearance of the week-end in Montreal. I entered a well-crowded Metropolis with a good amount of people already rocking the DWW hat. The evening began at 10:00pm sharp but the fans were singing the songs playing in the venue long before the band walked onstage. They started the [...]

Review by Marie-Lou When I entered the Igloofest site Thursday, at a much earlier time than last week, I was surprised by the amount of people already there for Tiga’s set. I mean, there were a lot less people than for A-Track. This time, I was not wearing snow pants; only sweat pants and a pair of leggings under them. [...]

Review by Marie-Lou Photo from www.thenewmontreal.com It was not simply a regular crowd that took over the Quays of The Old Port on January 12th for the first night of the Igloofest’s 6th edition. Rather, it was almost like a zoo. Giraffes, pandas, and fur hats but also “mucho libre” masks, flashy one-piece winter suits and of course an abundance [...]

Review by Anne-Marie Maccio Photography by Emilie C-P On Friday night, the Metropolis was almost at full capacity for the last metal show of 2011. For the occasion, four bands shared the stage: For Today, Enter Shikari, Whitechapel and The Devil Wears Prada. For Today started the evening with Saul of Tarsus and The Advocate, stopping briefly during their set [...]

Review by Myriam Richard Photography by Emilie C-P K-OS got MTL in a B-boy/Rock stance This last saturday night, Canadian eclectic hip-hop artist K-OS graced Club Soda’s stage as a conclusion to his Canadian tour. An artist who has evolved with his love-hate relationship with the hip-hop music industry, stepped in balanced and fully embracing his musical eccleticism. He thus [...]

Review by Anne-Marie Photography: Vanessa Leclair For their first Quebec tour following their new CD “Kill The Lights”, The New Cities decided to make a stop in Laval. They were not alone as Take the Night and Kamakazi joined them as openers. The smaller seated venue was packed and everyone was eager to see the new set of from the [...]
