Martha Wainwright - sublime has usual

Martha Wainwright

Auditorium Serge Nolet, Dorval

April 7th 2017

 

 

Once again I couldn't resist to go to another Martha's show.

The event was scheduled in an high school auditorium so it was kind of unusual and the sound could have been better, but...it was Martha.

 

She was just sublime during her set.

She remembered all the lyrics and how to play her new songs this time around.

Martha invited some family members to play with her including her sons.

 

 

Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures as I just tried to enjoy the moment.

 

I have the set list somewhere that I will post at a later date.

PJ Harvey - a visit you can't miss

 

 

 

PJ Harvey

April 15 2017

Metropolis, Montreal

 

It was my first PJ Harvey show so I was excited to see her performance.

She is just a master musician really and she has a great voice to wrap it all up.

I wish she would have played less of her latest album and more hits.

 

 



Green Day (with Against Me) - Massive

 

 

Green Day (with Against Me)

Bell Center, Montreal

March 22 2017

 

 

My first Green Day concert and they did not disappoint me.

It was a massive show with an all career spanning set list that fans of all eras liked.

 



Kanpe Kanaval - music for Haiti

 

 

KANPE Kanaval

Metropolis,Montreal

March 15 2017

 

 

At his year's Kanpe Kanaval which is an event to support Haiti, there was a good mix of known and lesser known acts including Arcade Fire, Coeur de Pirate, Fwonte, Pierre Kwenders, DJ Windows 98, Tito Marechal Blues and many others. 

The night was hosted by Jason Sudeikis and Anne-Marie Withenshaw.

 



Ariane Moffatt - mélange electro - orchestral réussi

 

 

Ariane Moffatt (and friends)

Salle Symphonique, PDA, Montreal

March 1st 2017

 

 

Ariane Moffatt tentait une soirée symphonique avec l'orchestre symphonique de Montreal.

Le mélange danse-électro-orchestral a très bien fonctionné.

Le concert aurait été formidable sans la présence trop répétée de ses invites.

 

 



Laura Sauvage - brilliant voice and energy deployed in tiny venue

Verre Bouteille, Montreal

February 4, 2017

 

 

 

Laura Sauvage has such a nice voice on her Extraordinormal album and was able to deliver the same energy on stage.

It was such a tiny venue, on a stage at the floor level, but Laura made sure everyone got excited about her performance.

It was a sold-out event.

 

 



Lee Ranaldo - Sonic Youth in spirits

Here are pictures taken at Lee Ranaldo concert in January.

The Phi Center is an amazing place to listen to music and seeing this great musician was just perfect there.
