Pop Montreal Day 1
Hello from Montreal, here’s a recap of yesterday
Matt and Kim was sold out! Someone wasn’t fast enough on their media rsvping. Went down the street to check out The Montreal Nintendo Orchestra an experimental act that makes music with two Nintendo DS units and a wack of pedals. It was interesting but def no Matt and Kim. Made me feel like I had drank some of the magic koolaid, which I’m sure is the intention.

We then hit up Jay Reatard who I didn’t know much about. I was very impressed, just the right mix of metal, punk and pop. The venue, La Sala Rosa was pretty awesome, It didn’t look like a venue from the outside and there’s a Mexican restaurant that we had some pops at below it on the second floor. The kids were going nuts.
We then headed back to Matt and Kim and managed to walk in and catch the last half of their set! I had a hard time keeping my lens from fogging up, people were losing it and Matt & Kim were cute in their own genuine Matt and Kim way.
Ended up at a reggae night and managed to clear the dance floor. then went for pooh-teen. Awesome!
We interviewed the D’Urbervilles today a very very wicked Toronto band. I managed not to throw up or sweat too much as the hangover was in effect.
Fever Ray, tonight.
