Lazy Sundays

Posted 29 Aug 2010 in Music

What’s up everyone. Well we made it through Frosh, which in my opinion is a pretty impressive accomplishment. It was a pretty grueling few days, but there’s no better way to be welcomed back to our great city. Right now we’re in full recovery mode, which includes being as lazy as humanly possible, possibly with a trip to tam tams thrown in just for good measure. Got some good music for you today, including a new track from Freddie Gibbs…

Happy Friday everyone. Frosh is currently upon us, which means I’m writing this post on about two hours total sleep over the last three days. Hey, it’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it. I’m going to keep this very short because honestly I can’t bring myself to write anything coherent at this point in the week. So enjoy the tunes, have a great weekend and if you’re also involved with Frosh, go hard tomorrow because we’re almost at…

Here. We. Go.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. The first years have arrived, classes begin in a week and there’s nothing left to focus on besides the beginning of McGill’s annual Freshman Orientation. Frosh is a time to socialize, familiarize yourself with the great city of Montreal and engage in some of our favorite “extracurricular activities.” Beer tents, pub crawls, boat cruises, scavenger hunts, club events, and beach trips await all of those lucky enough to be  a part, so get…

We’re Back

We’re baaack. It took seven hours of driving through the rain and a two-and-a-half hour wait at the border, but we’ve finally made our triumphant return to our beloved Montreal. Summer was great, but it’s time to return to school and our old routine, which means we’ll be significantly busier in the coming few months. We hit the ground running right away as we eagerly anticipate what’s sure to be an insane night with Datsik tonight at Foufunes Electronique. We…

For more awesome photos of the show, be sure to check out our friend The Calcutta Blog. Philadelphia may not be a city known for it’s electro scene, but you never would have known based off of the turnout for the HARD Tour on Wednesday. The Electric Factory was packed with electro fans, grateful for the chance to finally get down to some dirty beats in the city of brotherly love. Destructo opened, followed by a long set by Sinden…

Happy Friday everyone. Well it’s finally here, the last post that I will write from the great city of Philadelphia. Come Sunday I’ll be heading back up to Montreal to begin another year of concerts and shenanigans, but I had one hell of a sendoff on Wednesday at the HARD summer tour. Rusko, Sinden and Crystal Castles absolutely blew the roof off of the Electric Factory, and just to ensure that my ears never fully recover, I’ll be welcomed back…

Songs and Videos of the Day

Florence + the Machine

So, I’m just now waking up after a long night at the Electric Factory for 2010′s HARD Tour. Rusko blew it out of the water, putting on a killer set that sent the crowd into a dusbtep-dancing frenzy. Crystal Castles went equally as hard, performing with their infamous energy and intensity. Be on the lookout for a full review of the madness in the next day or two. Now, it’s time for songs of the day. I’m still really, really…

It’s Time…HARD Tour 2010

It’s finally time for one of the most anticipated tours of the summer. The first-ever HARD Tour kicked off in California on the 6th, and with a stop in Philadelphia on Wednesday (8/18), it’s still going strong. Headliners Crystal Castles have apparently been throwing down ridiculous, crazy intense sets thus far. The Toronto natives have been infamous for their live performances ever since their formation in December 2003. Originally a solo project by Ethan Kath, he discovered vocalist Alice Glass…

What’s good everyone, happy Friday to you all. It still seems a bit strange to me, but the summer is quickly slipping away and today marks the beginning of my last full weekend in Philadelphia. This summer has been pretty wild, but it’s not finished just yet. I’ve already begun mental preparations for the insanity of Wednesday’s HARD Philly, headlined by Crystal Castles and Rusko. It should be a great finishing touch on the summer of 2010. The HARD tour…

It’s been far too long since we’ve posted anything from our Soundcloud page, and for that I apologize. The summer always tends to get a bit crazy and as a result we can’t always post as often as we’d like to. But rest assured, this slacking on our part won’t last too long. Once we’re back in school we’ll get back into our groove and keep bringing you the best music we can find as often as possible. Until then,…
