Well firstly I want to play live. Second I would like to meet some like minded people, so I figured a cool electronic bar would be a nice start. Also I was thinking of trading in some of my gear for some other things, so I have been looking for a cool second hand music equipment place. Thanks a lot man I am very thankful : ) Whats your email address? Mine is in my profile if you would like to send me some more info meng! |

Sent this to your email - but just in case... As I'm sure you know by now, St. Laurent (aka The Main) is the most happening strip in town. You'll find most of the bars/pubs there. Below Prince Arthur is a little too posh for my tastes - lots of House music and people dressed to the 9s. If you start on St. Laurent you can't go too far wrong. IDM nights are hard to come by. Here's a few suggestions for nights to check out: Jungle/DnB Wednesdays at The Jupiter Room (on St. Laurent, west side a block or two north of Ave Des Pins) - This night is just getting started. It was pretty slow the first few weeks, but it might blossom into something. Fridays at Blue Dog (on St. Laurent, west side a block south of Duluth) - popular jungle night great vibe when it's busy Also monthly Cafe Chaos has a jungle night - the last one I went to was pretty small but amazing. Dub/Reggae Wednesdays at Blizzarts (right beside Blue Dog) - good night if you're into more reggae than Bob Marley. IDM Missy Bar on Tuesday (corner Mount Royal and Laval) - small pub but there's some dudes there on Tuesdays playing Autechre, Prefuse and other IDM stuff. Can occasionally be really good. Check the weeklys (Mirror and Hour) for shows. David Kristian is amazing live and he's a Montrealer. If you have a chance, check him out. Also, my buddy Black Market plays now and then - he's got some killer tracks - check the mp3s at http://www.openface.ca/~blakem/blackmarket/ ----- If you just want to go for a drink somewhere check: Grimy but charming -------------------- Bifteck - St. Laurent just below Pins - west side Roy Bar - skater bar - Roy two blocks west of St. Denis Miami - St. Laurent above Pins - east side above the dollar store A little classier --------------- Laika - St. Laurent west side just above Duluth Bily Kun - Mont Royal just west of St. Denis |

i was just in mtl for 3 weeks. i dont know i didnt go out much to bars really. i saw some pretty awsome shows, both as part of the pop mtl festival and not. i saw octavius/daedelus/her space holiday who were all excellent, ulrich schnauss/m83 which were both amazing (ulrich played one handed the whole time- he had just broke his left hand), morceaux_de_machines/Mixel Pixel/books on tape morceaux.... was cool, two guys doing pretty interesting hardware based noise, mixel pixel sucked and were anoying but they had some neat video stuff going on, and books on tape was really good, he deffinitly knew what he was doing. i got to see the dears in their hometown as well and they put on an amazing show as allways. i also saw animal monster/the cansecos/the russian futurists, the only one i really liked was animal monster, hes a cool guy apparently from toronto who did some need electronic stuff with hardware, i wasnt really impressed by the other two acts. as for record stores, i was kind of surprised theres not much great. theres cd esoterik down sort of the far end of st. catherines, lots of experimental stuff but a really small place, then theres cheap thrills near mcgill, more of a variety , plus books. and atom heart on st.denis and maisonouvre? i dont know, just look up some interesting shows and see where you can buytickets, theyll list them all. but im in little old victoria and we only have one decent shop (which is actually really excellent) but i dont think youd have any better chance finding something obscure in mtl. |

I sold the Dears my Korg Poly Six and my Realistic MOOG hehehe. I kind of miss them but at the same time I kind of don`t. Vintage synths are kind of like sports cars these days. People have them to boost their egos. |
