Suoni Per Il Popolo kicks off this weekend, a festival that runs the entire month of June each year in Montreal. There will be two excellent shows featuring
Wapstan, the first being on Friday June 1st where he will play as part of Tandoori Dream with
Shoebomber. The second is Sunday June 3rd, when he will do a special collaboration with
Kolumkilli. Both of these shows are being held at the Casa Del Popolo.
Then on Wednesday June 13th,
Scant Intone will do a solo performance at La Sala Rossa for the final edition of Epoxy, a concert series curated by Eric Mattson from
Oral Records. The line-up also includes sets by Steve Bates, Julien Roy and Vromb.
Finally on Sunday June 24,
No Type and Panospria will join forces for a label showcase night. From No Type we'll have performances by the label directors
A_Dontigny and
Camp as well as
Milliseconde Topographie. To represent Panospria we have chosen
The Fold and
Yellowknives, two new duos that have been playing a few low-key shows over the past months. Both acts have albums completed for release this summer on different labels. Rounding out the bill is
Carrie, our two very special guests from Mexico who have released music on the Static Discos label. This goes down at Casa Del Popolo for a measely $7. It also happens to be St-Jean Baptiste Day, so Monday will be a holiday. We hope to see you there! Also a huge thanks goes out to Autodestrukt for drawing up the excellent poster for this show.
