I never thought I would be at the Triple Rock on a Sunday evening listening to metal. I never thought I would be there with a head-cold, a camera, and a mission... The mission to see La Crosse natives Orwell rock the crowd (do their thing), and do a recap of the show and their CD afterwards. The incentive: the music, the atmosphere, and the unique aspect of the musical acts and their fans. I also enjoy Orwell's live performance so much that I had to go and have a second viewing. They killed it at the Hex [...]

Montrealers know how to have a good time. At least, if Parlovr (pronounced either "parlour" or "par-lover") is any indication. Opening for Handsome Furs at Minneapolis bar the Triple Rock last night, the Montreal trio started their set with a "giant orgasmic scream" of which the audience was required to participate in.
