September in Montreal: back to school reunions, wool socks, layered outfits, and… POP Montreal. There’s that one special week we all look forward to, where the cold weather blues are eased by the promise of back-to-back shows around the city. New talent and old, at affordable prices, invade pretty much all Plateau\/Mile End venues for a few days– a music lover’s bliss. This year, for their Sweet 16, POP seems to have nostalgia as their theme, bringing us a collection of heart throbs from the 2000’s and up. As always we’ll be graced with tons of local acts, and some of the most buzzworthy, too. Here are 10 shows to get you on your bike and pedalling from show to show next week.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Photo: Joseph Fuda<\/p>\n Originally from Toronto, Montreal\u2019s own Petra Glynt takes the stage alongside Bernadino Femminielli and others or POP\u2019s #SWEET16. Her sound is of that haunting variety, where tribal sounds from down under meet her feisty witchy vocals. The result? A futuristic trance-inducing beat where Petra is our enchantress, our guide, our psychedelic musical empress in the sky. And us? Well, we\u2019re all too eager and following, entranced by her visceral beats. Join us and get under her spell on September 13, 10:30pm at Piccolo Little Burgundy.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Remember Think About Life? Their playful take-nothing-seriously-and-make-everything-a-party electronic indie vibe came to us in the late 00\u2019s, a time where we were all still confused that Y2K hadn\u2019t taken us under. At this time where the pressure to start a new millenium off right was still on the to-do list, Think About Life lyrics like I decided to kiss you but it felt like a downer\u00a0<\/em><\/span>calmed us down, reminding us that life is nonsense anyway. Surprise, 10 years later we still need that poppy yet absurd soundrack to our life. September 16 at 11pm<\/a>, Think About Life pairs up with Strange Froots and Eboni at Piccolo Little Burgundy. RSVP here.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Story-telling folk music for the realists, the romantics, the lovers of exquisite lyrics, but definitely not for the faint of heart. Mount Eerie, aka Phil Elverum has an introspective clarity of a rare calibre, and the vocals to match. His music tells the story of the passing of his late wife with a candor and honesty that hits that universal human nerve, making the ineffable heard and the excruciating somehow…irresistible. Thus is the magic of great music. Join him in what’s sure to be a raw, cathartic human experience on September 17th 8pm at Ukrainian Federation : Salle Exclaim!.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Cue the nostalgia hazy screen effect. 2011: the days of dark wave synthy goodness and brown Instagram icons. The days where we (okay, I) played Feel It Break <\/i>on a loop for 8 hours while writing undergrad papers. Thanks Austra, you got us (me?) through a real rough patch there. Gratuitous personal annecdotes aside, Austra made that dark synth wave accessible with Katie Stelmanis\u2019 frightening yet sweet vocals and catchy catchy beat in a way that few could do back then. I mean, Zola Jesus is a bit heavy to play 8 hours straight or slap on the family roadtrip playlist. But Lose It<\/em>? Everyone liked Lose It.<\/em>\u00a0The good news is, this kind of synthy magic doesn\u2019t just go away. Austra’s still going strong, and this year we get to see them at none other than the Rialto. Join us on September 14 10pm at Rialto Theatre: Salle St-Ambroise.<\/a><\/p>\n9. THINK ABOUT LIFE – FREE!!<\/b><\/a><\/h2>\n
