It’s that time of year again folks. No i’m not talking about Christmas (although I kinda wish I was) but the annual Pop Montreal Festival that takes place all over this great city of mine. Just take a look at the list of names above. All i can think is that there is one notable emmission. Where is Sufjan? If he’s on that list I am blind. So anyways, I’m basically just trying to plan out which shows to see. It’s a little bit tough since they all play at the same time but here is my tentative schedule:

The Phenomenal Handclap Band – 8:00 – Le National
Amy Millan – 10:00 – Ukrainian Federation
Elephant Stone – 11:00 – O Patro Vys
Matt & Kim – 12:00 – Club Lambi
Jay Reatard – 12:30 – La Sala Rossa (if I can make it)

or (they’re right across the street so it’ll be a game time decision)
The D’Urbervilles – 1:00 – Casa Del Popolo
Sunday, October 4th:
I’m not really sure what to see since I’m not really familiar with any of the bands playing on Sunday so if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know. I was thinking about these two:
Nadia & The Tchotchkes – 9:00 – Green Room
Arianne Moffat – 10:00 – Ukrainian Federation
White Pine Waltz – 10:00 – Casa Del Popolo
For updates on what’s going on check my twitter page as I will most likely be posting stuff on there while I’m at the shows.
