Oh MTL
I’ve been slacking with my Pop Montreal update. In all honesty it got way to hard to keep up with while trying to keep up with the festival and shoot as much footage as I could. I also stuck with a handicapped macbook (the generation) where Apple decided to not include a firewire and I havn’t been able to load any of the glorious footage we shot. Not to fret it will come.
One of my fave bands we met were the Silly Kissers. We posted a song of by them and were contacted by GOBBLE GOBBLE of Alberta who sent these amazing tunes over! The first is a remix of Silly Kisser bff Sean Nicholas Savage (oh my).

And this is the original version of the first song.

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.

PS, how rad are these guys and this Joy Division inspired video. Very stoked to see them tomorrow!
