Must See M for MTL Canadian Acts
John Jacob Magistery – Montreal band – Alternative indie @johnjacobmagistery
Driven by the lead singer’s obsessive personality, the post-indie group experiments with beautiful/dystopian sounds and emotionally charged lyrics. Their live performances, which range from an acoustic solo to a full six-piece band, showcase the group’s strong vocals with an intent well-crafted sound/message
Friday, November 17th 10 pm-1 am @ Le Ministère
Darcys – Toronto duo – Pop/rock @itsthedarcys
There is the calm, there is the storm, and then there are the Darcys, art-rock wonders who do both simultaneously. Their results are meaningful, momentous and absolutely enviable. Their sounds are grand, moody and uplifting – who knows what happier days will bring.
Friday, November 17th 10pm-1am @ Le Petit campus
Jean-Michel Blais – Classical – Montreal @jeanmichelblaismusic
Montreal-based piano virtuoso Jean–Michel Blais is a bit of an enigma to the music world. Blais maintains a strong sense of originality and personality mixing a number of styles into his own strongly emotive sound that’s never overly cheery or melancholy, but still suits both moods perfectly.
Saturday November 18th, 9pm @ Théâtre Rialto
Aliocha – folk and 90’s grunge, from rock to Americana – Montreal @AliochaS
When asked about his inspiration, the young songwriter says, “Our fleeting emotions, sensations and thoughts. What I’m interested in, what I seek, is to be able to capture those shapeless, ephemeral things and crystallize them in a song, so that I can feel them again and – if I’m successful – make others feel them, too.”
Wednesday, November 15th, 8:30 PM @ La Sala Rossa
Nomadic Massive – La Sala Rosa – Montreal @NomadicMassive
Rapping in English, French, Creole, Spanish and Arabic, Nomadic Massive is Montreal Hip-Hop’s best kept secret. Spreading their sound across borders and cultures, the group has captivated audiences and critics worldwide.
