To continue on the topic of what is truly important for the music scene in Montreal, I wanted to inform you about the fact that the British band and cartoon specialists Gorillaz will be paying Montreal a visit, as part of their world-tour for Plastic Beach. While in town, the band will not be transforming one of our beaches into a plastic beach paradise; they will instead settle for the Bell Center on the 3rd of October (which is a Sunday and is a bit lame).
You can’t talk about events in Montreal and not mention the now huge Osheaga music festival. It’s the closest we will get to a Glastonbury on this side of the Atlantic. An important news, that wasn’t mentioned much, is that Montreal’s Osheaga was one of the stops of the (probably) last world tour of a briefly reunited band resurrected straight from my teenagehood, the iconic Pavement.
But instead of focusing on the music or the artists, big media like GQ focuses on what matters the most: girls. Considering that GQ are so much more successful than we are, have millions of readers and makes tons of cash, they probably know better than us. So we will copy their strategy and show you the best-of from GQ’s The Wandering Eye on Osheaga, a picture slide-show of skinny girls with huge shades and American Apparel rags on their backs. Sometimes, the simplicity of big media is surprisingly… simple.
