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. It was an introductory conversation over...

Japandroids Noise Finishes Pop Montreal Day Three

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) October 6, 2009 11:20 am
So it wasn't just me: the mood surrounding this year's Pop Montreal did feel slightly different. The shows were definitely more packed than usual — to the point where not getting into your favourite show seemed a likelihood — and the preconceptions about what an ideal Pop Montreal weekend were vastly changing. If you wanted to have a good time...

"Wow, we're celebrating our eighth year," begins Pop Montreal festival creative director Dan Seligman in the fest's 2009 program book intro. "Who woulda thunk? Damn, we're lucky!"

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: 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...

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...

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.

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...
