M.I.A live in Montreal
Next week, on Tuesday the 21st of September, you’ll be able to catch M.I.A live in Montreal at tthe Metropolis on St-Catherine street. Knowing this crazy little pop-rebel, you’re bound to see everything you wanted to see, with lots of extra fluorescent, home-made street wear, tribal beats and a few political and social messages thrown all together in the mixer-robot called M.I.A.

I just watched her latest video, XXX0, and even though visually it is OK, neither the song nor the visuals come near to Galang: I love the animated stencil tag in the Galang video, of the flying jets and tanks and birds dropping bombs, and everything else about the animation actually:
Now that’s a great video and a great song.

We were at the show and it was really amazing: the energy of the crowd was just crazy. And the musicians and dancers M.I.A was with really helped to lift the show to higher levels. Especially the opening act, Rye Rye, a rapper I had never heard of before, she was really good, she had an amazing stage presence and danced in a crazy-lively manner.
