Concert Reviews

Cold War Kids + The Balconies @ Le Theatre Corona

Montreal is known for a lot of things: poutine, riots, gorgeous people, riots, a vibrant nightlife, riots, riots, riots. What it is not known for, however, is quiet, limp, lethargic concert crowds. Sit down, Cold War Kids fans, because you will most likely not enjoy this review.


Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark @ Le National

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are back on North American soil for the first time, with their original line-up, since 1988. I had the chance to catch the tour's second show, at Le National on Sunday March 6th 2011. I need to state something: this was kind of a special show for me to see because I actually saw them on their last tour here; yes, I am talking about the 1988 tour.


Hey Rosetta! @ Le Cabaret du Mile End

To promote the release of their third album, Seeds, Hey Rosetta! (exclamation mark mandatory) is doing a North American tour. They sold out Montreal’s Le Cabaret du Mile End on Friday, February 18th.


Biffy Clyro + Moving Mountains @ La Sala Rossa

It was a mighty cold evening on February 15th, so let’s just say that I was shocked beyond belief when I entered La Sala Rossa to see Biffy Clyro.  Why, you ask? Well it was weird seeing two guys sporting nothing from the waist up.  Then I remembered: ah yes, Biffy Clyro almost always come on stage topless for almost every show.  However, unlike Biffy Clyro, these guys should have covered it up – eeeesshhh.
