ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: Forget about catching the hotly hyped New Yorkers Interpol if you didn't have a pass or advance ticket: a hand-made sign at the door said "Sold out. Don't even bother coming up the stairs to ask." The tiny, narrow, low-ceiling, stage-free...

By Liisa Ladouceur (CHARTattack) October 1, 2002 11:04 pm
ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: In case you didn't know that Montreal's Stars have pumped up the "synth" portion of their synth-pop to join the new new wave movement, the foursome appeared in skinny ties surrounded by a bank of keyboards. But their half-hour set left...

The Dears @ Pop Montreal 2002

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: Tonight was a more dangerous, more violent Dears. Sure that may sound odd considering their epic Brit-pop resume, but most of the fey strumming has been crushed under foot. The band were ragged and tense to start the set, with frontman Murray...

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: Here's where the ol' "preservation of Quebec culture" idea gets a little uncomfortable. See, Quebec's zeal for protecting their Frenchness has made for a culture filled with theatres, plays, shows, festivals and all sorts of vibrant,...

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: Any mishmash of naughty and nice can be slightly amusing. Just ask Britney. But when you mix it with talent and genuine charisma, you don't just get amusement, you get something irresistible. In other words, you get Martina Sorbara. Moving...

Thomas Hellman @ Pop Montreal 2002

By Sarah Kurchak (CHARTattack) October 1, 2002 11:04 pm
ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: With a mane of black curls, a commanding stage presence, quirky cabaret stylings, heaps of talent and the ability to make the girls (and a few guys) swoon, Thomas Hellman could be considered Montreal's answer to Hawksley Workman. Drawing the...

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: This intimate, artist-friendly venue is the perfect locale for the introspective musings of Jim Guthrie. Using a Sony Playstation to "bring feeling to computers" and an electric guitar plucked with determined hands, the solitary singer...

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: Talk about total underestimation. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how it was Blonde Redhead could be headlining the large-ish Club Soda on a Saturday night, the marquee event of the Pop Montreal fest. Then I saw them. Although I can't say I...

ChartAttack staff swarmed the Pop Montreal festival last weekend. Here are some of the highlights: LOFT PARTY w/ Dee Selig, Professor Groove, DJ Static de Wefunk I could have sworn the old gray-beard who hopped on the decks around 3 a.m. introduced himself as "Old Man Riddim." That was a kinda bitchin' way to accompany the sweet 'n...

Pop Montreal Day Two: Sweet Sounds And Superstar DJs

By Lorraine Carpenter (CHARTattack) October 1, 2002 4:00 pm
Friday, September 27 Thank God it's Friday? It's pouring rain, so there's no way the Sadies/Breastfeeders BBQ out at the University of Montreal is happening (although I hear later that The Sadies actually played, but it was ix-nay on the rill-gay). Add to this the upsetting news I've just received from Toronto mod DJ Davy Love, who I had booked...
