As you may have noticed, this year's Pop Montreal coverage at CHARTattack comes with photos. Anyway, new photographer Cindy Lopez and myself took the opportunity to strategize the festival's biggest night while taking in the Montreal Canadiens-Buffalo Sabres game at designated home base Copacabana's.

On the Friday evening before M On The Quays — M For Montreal's latest excuse for trotting out the city's best and brightest young musical acts — this writer and a pair of sidekicks were consuming concealed beverages metres away from the already erected dual stages.

Osheaga 2009 Showcases La Roux, New Wavers

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) August 4, 2009 2:32 pm
It's a combination of the long lineups, the omnipresent enclosures, rigid schedules and overpriced wares, but nothing awakens my animalistic tendencies quite  like Osheaga, Montreal's massive weekend musical bash. It's not really a "music and arts festival" because a festival would imply there's some sort of cultural celebration...

Lake Of Stew Successful At MIMIs

By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) March 3, 2009 11:16 am
MONTREAL — The Montreal International Music Initiative (MIMI) has a long, coloured history of attempting to celebrate and promote the local music scene to varying degrees of success. Bad timing, lack of interest and all-out dislike for the concept have been issues that the revolving door of organizers have dealt with since 1997. But the MIMIs...

Parlovr — Parlovr

in
By Sheena Lyonnais (CHARTattack) December 23, 2008 3:57 pm
Montreal's Parlovr (pronounced Parlour) have produced an independent record that's a little manic but a lot of fun. What it lacks in focus and consistency, it makes up for in catchy indie dance beats and smart lyrics. It's easy to see each member has very different influences. At times the record's pure pop, at others it's one big mix of post-punk...

Song Of The Day: Parlovr's "Hell, Heaven"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) November 12, 2010 3:20 pm
"Hell, Heaven" appears on Parlovr's new Hell/Heaven/Big/Love EP, out now through Dine Alone. Its swirly guitar parts at the beginning make it resemble a more angular Dirty Projectors — minus Dave Longstreth, Amber Coffman and angel Deradoorian's falsetto-filled vocals, of course. But when you throw in the chanted, nearly shouted vocals...
