[MONTREAL] Alright, I realise my coverage is one day ahead of Pop Montréal festivities. I'm rectifying the issue.... now. Remember when I posted about Fever Ray? If you're not into paying $35 to stand in a cold venue to see a creepy Swedish woman sing in a cloud of dry ice, don't worry! There is a lot more going on tonight. Such is the nature of the "festival" -- heaps of bands are all playing at the same time. Amazing, right?
Of all the alternative options to Fever Ray, may I suggest heading up to Mont-Royal for more feel-good (and budget-friendly) times. O Patro Vys is hosting a fun little international line-up:
+ The William Blakes from Denmark
+ By Divine Right from Canada
+ Ryan Dahle from Canada
+ Julie Fader from Canada
+ Brian Borcherdt from Canada
+ Todor Kobakov from Canada
...a virtual United Nations! The individual Canadians are into the singer-songwriter scene. With Divine Right and The William Blakes, however, expect a more collective, love-thy-neighbour feeling. This is quite possibly the furthest away from the Fever Ray experience you can get.
The William Blakes "Violent God" [YouSendIt]
They may remind you of such bands as... Think About Life, Suburban Kids with Biblical Names, White Lies (on anti-depressants).
