On Thursday, the 25th, St. Vincent played a great concert in the Sanctuary of the First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia. I was lucky enough to catch the show since I’m home on break. St. Vincent is Annie Clark, a phenomenal singer and guitar player. Backed by a very talented band, Annie had  a graceful stage presence that made it hard to look away. Formerly a member of  The Polyphonic Spree,  Annie has opened as St. Vincent for about every amazing…

Firstly, I too have to apologize for the lack of activity this week. Despite being on our “break” from school, we are laden with midterms, papers, and projects due as soon as we return (what fun!). Excuses aside, I now have the chance to properly gush about the great show we saw last week at Le Belmont. We had the opportunity to see button-master Daedelus perform with Nosaj Thing and Jogger at the intimate venue in Outremont. The smaller size…

For this week’s installment of Mixtape Fridays I want to start by apologizing for the low amount of posts recently. We’ve been busy making improvements to the site, putting up pictures (check out our Gallery page) and conducting interviews. but we’ll be running stronger than ever very soon. This week I decided that it was high time we shared our love of Deadmau5 with all of you. For my money, Deadmau5 is the best DJ in the world, and seeing…

This Thursday, anyone still in MTL has a great opportunity to see one of the most original and refreshing acts in electro today, Vitalic. New electro tracks tend to go through a lot of recycling; any song a DJ releases will be subject to at least a dozen remixes, some better than others. Now, this is actually one of the reasons I love this music, the idea that anyone can put their twist on a song and make it their…

On Friday we got the opportunity to see Jogger, Nosaj Thing and Daedelus all perform together at the Belmont.  It was a hell of a night; look out for our full wrap-up coming up this week, including photos from the show and our interview with Alfred Darlington aka Daedelus. For now we hope you’re all enjoying the break; here are some songs to chill to on your Lazy Sunday. Impending Doom (ft. MF Doom)- Daedelus [Audio clip: click ‘read more’ to…

Last night, Brooklyn’s The Antlers headlined at Il Motore in front of a packed house. This was our first time at this venue, and it was pretty incredible. Tiny, intimate, low stage, nice bar…perfect place for a concert. Combine all this with a chill crowd and it made for a truly great musical experience. Montreal’s own Golden Isles opened up for The Antlers. We have to admit, we’d never heard of the group before this show, but they were a…

If you’re a McGill student then this week was probably pretty hectic, we know it was for us. But rejoice! Because its Friday, which means we made it to the promised land. Nothing to do now but sit back, relax, and make some questionable life decisions. So as always, let us help get you in the mood to rage, reading week style. This first mixtape is from an OG of the turntables, Mix Master Mike. Quick history lesson: Mix Master…

We came across this beauty today and just thought it was too good not to post. The following video is from London’s BRIT awards which took place last night. Since Florence + Machine and Dizzee Rascal are two of the biggest acts in the UK right now, it only makes sense that someone would have the brilliant idea of putting the two on stage together during the show. This live mashup of Dizzee’s ‘Dirtee Cash’ and Florence’s ‘You’ve Got the Love’…

Tomorrow (Feb 18) at 5:30pm at McGill’s own Bar des Arts, there will be a jam session to promote Playing for Change. Playing for Change is a movement that uses music to bring peace to the world. Through various benefit performances around the globe, the organization has been able to build music and arts schools to bring inspiration and unity to communities  that are in need. This week, Bar des Arts is proud to present the launch party of Playing…
