Pop Montreal ~ With Love

Next tuesday will be the kickoff of the Pop Montreal festival. Pop Montreal was fired on the collective impulse of friends and colleagues to create a meaningful and vibrant music festival. In three years we have grown to include a bold cross-section of art forms and events, never losing sight of our focused mandate to reflect the community to which we belong. In 2004, the festival ran a sleepless super-saturated 5 nights. Fans, journalists, musicians and industry representatives met in common spaces to experience a whirlwind of the best, most captivating, music and underground culture in North America . In addition to nights packed with music of every tone, colour, and sensibility, we staged events to focus attention on political and social activism, independent film and photography (and as always, unhinged loft parties stretching beyond the wee hours of the morning).

If you go make sure you see The Slip playing friday September 30th at Le Swimming The Slip are an organic jazz/indie rock band originally from Providence, RI but supposedly have moved to Montreal.
