We sat down with Laura Jane Grace (singer) and Atom Willard (drummer) at Osheaga to chat about playing to a different kind of crowd, really personal lyrics and the future of the band.

Les festivaliers et les Rouynorandiens vont être contents, le Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (FME), proposera cette année une nouvelle série de concerts gratuits. Celle-ci a été baptisée la Série de concerts impromptus, puisqu'elle se déroulera dans plusieurs lieux inusités de la ville de Rouyn-Noranda.

C'est samedi que se déroulait la première édition de La Grosse Lanterne, un festival d'une journée, à Béthanie.

Saturday, the first edition of La Grosse Lanterne, a day festival, went down in Béthanie, QC. There was not a big crowd but it was definitely a success.

À moins d'une semaine avant son évènement, Mathieu Pontbriand, à l'autre bout du fil semblait très occupé, mais aussi très confiant en son projet. Voici ses réponses à nos réponses:

Less than one week before his event, Mathieu Pontbriand is really busy but also confident in his project. Check out our discussion:

Bien que le festival ne dure qu'une journée, avec des noms comme Dead Obies, Solids, Suuns, Alaclair Ensemble, the Posterz, elle risque d'être intense. Voici donc ce dont vous aurez besoin pour avoir une agréable expérience:

The 9th edition of Osheaga was the moment a lot of Montrealers and underage Americans were waiting for; the weather was nice and hot, and a huge party went on non-stop for three days. There were a lot of concerts, but here are my ten favourites. Because you gotta choose you know.

One day left. You are probably hung over, but make an effort, you cannot see this many bands every weekend and this is indie day! Because everyone is tired, we proposed beginning the day late, in the afternoon in fact.

The Friday night fever has run its course; it’s officially the weekend. For a lot of people it is their first day. For others, remember; you still have energy, it’s only Saturday. Ready for another sunny day with super expensive food and music?
