If by any chance you’re in Montreal and you like good music, my band is giving a show on the 11th of November!

So, hey! You know. Come say hi and give your ears a treat. ;)

Haven’t done one of these in a while…

(The Silent Enigma… Old-school Anathema, back when they weren’t all that good. It’s still cool to get to hear the original versions of songs featured on Falling Deeper)

(pre-ordered the limited vinyl edition of Anathema’s weather systems)

(The Cat Empire’s Two Shoes special edition; got this during their show on Saturday, good stuff good stuff)

(pre-ordered no-man’s upcoming live album+DVD, love and endings)

(and last but not least, Quebec’s very best and unfortunately deceased 70’s band, Harmonium’s self-titled debut)

… and out of 2100 invited people on facebook, 50 confirmed they were coming. God I hate people. Whenever a decent band with an international reputation passes by, there’s always hundreds and even thousands of people attending their shows; but when it’s local bands with even more talent, nobody gives a shit. Why? What’s the matter? Not enough people like it? Liking something that’s not popular will affect your value as a person? 8$ is too much to see 3 great bands in a row, but 50$ is just fine for that one band that comes from the US or from another continent?

Jesus christ. It’s tough to be an artist.

… oh by the way, Opusculus is playing @ Alizé bar tonight in Montreal. If you’re in Montreal and like good music, you should go. They’re one of the best bands I’ve ever heard, and I’m not only saying that because their bassist is also my bassist. They actually are that good. If you can name me any other band out there who’ve written a 60 minutes long track that kicks ass from B to Z, I’ll give you a medal.
