Take a gander at this press photo I took for Sheer Agony while you’re at it and marvel at the full moon.

Objectively speaking, this is the best band photo ever taken.

Here’s a few photos from our December residency on CKUT 90.3FM. They were mostly taken on my phone from behind the dj booth, so please excuse the quality and weird angles, though it does give a sense of how cozy the studio was.

Big thanks to all the bands who came in to play and chat with us, and a huge thank you also to Amber, AJ, Amanda, and Marc from the station for helping out in the studio.

For now, you can stream the full shows in the CKUT archives at the links below. We’ll post permanent links to high quality versions of the live sets as soon as they’re online. Thanks for tuning in!

For our final week on The Montreal Sessions, we’ve invited Bernardino Femminielli to join us in the CKUT studio. Cap off your holiday weekend and sweat out that gravy with a live set of “hedonistic, unchaste, debauched, mystical, sexual…” electronic music from his solo project, Femminielli.
