Concert Reviews

Wild Beasts (2/18/2010)

Wild Beasts managed to capture the rhythm and intensity of their studio recordings in concert at Schuba’s last week.

DOOM (02/13/2010)

Despite how fascinating DOOM may be on record, one simply can’t ignore the shortcomings of his live show.

Amelia Curran (02/10/2010)

Amelia Curran has a way of immersing listeners in her world like few singer-songwriters around. Do give her work a chance.

Everlea (02/06/10)

Toronto rockers Everlea stopped by Cafe l’Inco last week to offer fans a glimpse of the new material they’re working on.

Cinema L’amour (01/29/10)

We were there as Montreal acts Cinema L’amour, Dukes Of Burgundy, and Divingbell put on a stellar show at the Cagibi on the 29th.

Camera (1/22/10)

Camera played a strong set at the Bottom Lounge on the 22nd and staff writer Paul Bulow reports on the night’s proceedings.

The Lovely Feathers (12/01/09)

The Lovely Feathers put on one hell of a show this past Tuesday with the help of fellow Montreal acts The Breezes and Cotton Mouth.

Ladyfingers (11/20/09)

Solo rockabilly act Laydfingers put on a great show this past Friday, aided by solid support in the form of singer-songwriter Carl Spidla, Adam C. Verb, and TheSecretOfHappiness.

Ohbijou (11/05/09)

Indie-poppers Ohbijou played a delightful set last week and we were fortunate enough to catch it. Silver Starling opened the night which would eventually become a cozy, delightful love-in.

Fanfarlo (11/09/09)

Despite significant jet lag, London’s Fanfarlo played a spirited set at Chicago’s Schubas Tavern. New York troupe Freelance Whales opened the proceedings with a solid performance as well.

The Get Up Kids (10/25/09)

Staffer Joe Mateo promised himself he would see The Get Up Kids if they ever reunited many years ago, and here we are today with a report on the night’s events which were filled with nostalgia.
