Night Vision 1.23
(Co-Written with Bruce Benson)
Lovely is the feelin' now: Fever, temperatures risin' now. Power is the force, the vow that makes it happen. It asks no questions why. So get closer to my body now, just love me 'til you don't know how.
Keep on with the force - don't stop - don't stop 'til you get enough!
Week-End Review
We had a good time listening to David Laguer's excellent & eclectic selection of house music at Circus last Thursday night. Nice party, once again.
Saturday, Marco G began the festivities at Aria with a solid upbeat electro-tech set. Miguel Graça showed up unannounced and proceeded to keep people going with his high-powered selection of tech-house groovers, eventually handing over the reigns to Maus who kept handing out massive beats left and right like there was no tomorrow 'til closing.
Sunday's Piknic was nice, very nice. We got there while Paul Keeley was finishing his set, just in time to see Éloi Brunelle take over and bring the house down. With his mix of funky house, tech-electro and sweet tunes, his selection was met with enthousiasm. No sunburns yet.
On Tuesday, She Wants Revenge played in front of a semi-packed Spectrum. People seemed to enjoy, and most attendees were singing along. Technical problems aside, it was a nice performance, but their music seems aimed at young teenage goth chicks and we almost felt out of place.
Afterwards, Bruno Pronsato invaded Academy with his live minimal tunes, maximized for dance floor efficiency. Cool stuff from the Seattle guest, who seemed to have a lot of fun.
News en Vrac
After two under-the-radar gigs in Montreal some months ago, Boys Noize is back ! So since y'all missed him the last time around, it will be your chance to check out what the noize is all about... The best news is that it's going to be part of the Neon Nights Festival taking place during the labor day week-end. You read right. A fuckin' FESTIVAL ! Here are a few names to make you wet your pants : Chromeo, Steve Bug, The Presets, Riton... 'nuff said. Check out our calendar for the small, boring details !
Not enough? On Saturday November 4, Stephan Bodzin will be in town again... with Thomas Schumacher! Still not enough? Bender, Sean Kosa & a few surprises still lie ahead... Stay tuned.
An indie lover's wet dream is coming as part of a triple bill that is linked only by our local madness : instrumental prodigies Ratatat will be at Les Saints on Sept. 7th, parisian popsters Phoenix are playing Club Soda on Sept. 10th, and our personal favorite british genre-benders, Hot Chip, will be at Sala Rossa on Nov. 5th.
Well, it was about time: Adam Beyer will be at Parking on Thursday October 26th. Rejoice!
Finally, Miles Moore & Eloi Brunelle were starting a new monthly at Academy, yesterday, called Headz Up. We'll keep you posted as to when they'll throw it again next month, promise.
Thursday 03/08
Now's the time to multiply your body & put a handful of ants in your pants...
Maus will be playing at Kunta Lounge (2021 St-Denis) tonight, and she promises us a laidback atmosphere in a cool place where the cerveza easily flows...
Smash TV swing by Parking's Overdose night for a live performance & Mini opens & closes for them. We don't know much about them besides the fact that they're releasing stuff on BPitch Control, Ellen Allien's Berlinois label.
If you enjoy Lambi now that you don't need to check in your coat, you might as well check out the trashy queer cabaret night "Wild End Boys", featuring Trannie Tronic, Glenn Nuotio, Steve Orton, DJ XXX & the very sexy redhead Lester Black. Expect a very ecclectic rollercoaster ride of music and, hopefully, guys in chaps.
Dirty welcomes MightyKat & Paolo Mojo at Stereobar.
Mark Anthony climbs up Jet Club's stairs @ Phonogenic as part of a special Out Games / Pride Week featuring.
Malente will be at Mix Thursdays at Saphir.
Friday 04/08
Is Von Party a workaholic ? Take your pick at Green Room !
Miguel Graça & G O'Brien electrify the night @ Aria.
Saturday 05/08
James Bond will not be attending, but Voyeur 007 will nonetheless feature some very interesting talents : Why Alex Why and Jordan Dare will open for Motor, the guys behind Klunk, the album, and X-Lover, the band.
This quasi industrial attack might not let you escape without a few wounds. SAT, 15$ at the door, whores.
The "Veterans" monthly at Stereobar, curated by The Autist, welcomes Pfreud. This ain't just your ordinary night, it's mister Pfreud's birthday ! Pass by to wish him a happy one, folks !
Speaking of veterans, the one and only Gary Numan will perform at Le National ! Saying he's legendary would be an understatement, as he has inspired a whole generation of electronic artists. See him in the flesh before he turns into a pineapple-munching android...
Creator & Marco G play Aria.
Sunday 06/08
The one and only bearded brooklynite Tommie Sunshine will play in Parking's basement for the Electruck night. If his recent mixed CD on Systematic is any indication, things will get rowdy !
Bender & Vega share the decks at Balroom and you don't need an excuse to go : it's No Excuse Sundays !
Those of you who have had enough of 4/4 beats will be happy to learn that there aren't many chances you'll hear some at Piknic because, frankly, The Goods take over ! Things will get funk-a-licious as Toronto's Moonstar, NYC's Nickodemus and local residents Andy Williams & Scott C share the decks. Come on over & dance !
If you don't feel like getting out of the Island, head over downtown, and celebrate your Pride ! Numerous t-dances will take place in numerous spots, including the housey "La Grande Danse" in front of La Grande Bibliothèque, and the infamous Sex garage, again showcasing an interesting range of artists this year.
Tuesday 07/08
Don't forget Dizzy, your friendly Tuesday night rendez-vous !
Wednesday 08/08
Ditto for Coconutz, where you can share your love of midweek partyin' and crawling on the luxuous furniture of Lola's !
Next Week
Things start happening. Magic floats around. Locals battle for attention and the Usine C rabbits live on !
Until then: keep the drinks comin' !
