So none of us made it out to the Sean Nicholas Savage , Indiensoci (of Braids ), Devon Welsh (of Pop Winds ), and The Crown Vandals show last night. A real shame, I'm sure it was a great show. The show was not only a great excuse to get a bunch of talented Montreal musicians together but it was an album release show for Sean Nicholas Savage's most recent release, called Movin Up In Society, which you can buy on cassette or download for free (thanks [...]
So a few weeks ago I made a mixtape (mixcdr?) for a friend compiled from Montreal bands and a few who have members who are at or went to McGill. It seems appropriate that I post it here. I have entitled it "From North Of America Vol. 13 and it consists of 19 songs that serve as a good introduction to the Montreal/McGill music scene. Artist - Song [Website] 1. Braids - Liver and Tan [ http://www.myspace.com/braidsm usic] 2. Postcards - Krayons [ http://www.myspace.com/montrea lpostcards] 3. Tonstartssbandht [...]

Simon Roberts Both these songs have unnecessary intros. The Crown Vandals - "Guenevere" You want to go back to the 14th century, to wait in a grove by the walled city. You want to hide your drum-kit beneath under a leafy oak, conceal your guitars in a mulberry bush; cheap amps, cheap mics, cheap booze nestling among beech-roots. You want to wait there, for courtiers and commoners who steal away from the walled city - weirdos & thieves & lovers & lonelyhearts. They [...]
