MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize on Saturday night banged Metropolis for all it was worth and it showed. When I walked out of the show and headed toward St Lo a handful of riot police equipped with shields and batons were blocking the street. Apparently some kind of reggaeton show at Club Soda sold out and people got violent trying to get in. That's true dedication, I wonder if that would ever happen at an electro show.
Now these incidents are not necessarily related but anyone who attended the show will agree that both a riot shield and baton would have come in handy on the floor. Way too many people, but expected. Altogether a great show, we shot some footage there and threw it up on youtube. Enjoy.
This upcoming week is going to leave you, me, her, him and them, universally all fucked up. In a good way. That is, in the span of seven days your feet, eyes and ears will be taken advantage of by five huge dance behemoths. The assault will be opened by parisian electro juggernauts Justice on Sunday at Cepsum, followed by a Justice afterparty at Coda Club with Busy P and So-Me - the Ed Banger visual artist - which looks like it might bring about a line to get in to rival the Steve Aoki / Uffie blowout of early 08' fame. So get there early or you might cry frozen hipster tears.
After Justice bangs you harder, better, faster and stronger than your boyfriend or girlfriend ever could, you get monday to wednesday to recover, but only to prepare you for Chromeo at Le National on Thursday, Digitalism at Club Soda on monday, and MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize at Metropolis on Saturday. What the fuck. Shit will get real serious.
So drink your vitamin water, take extra naps, aggregate prescription drugs and stock up on bulk units of alcohol, because along with St Pattys day, sobriety will become a rarity among Montreal banger kids.
