It seems like Montreal’s various music scenes are finally, officially, back from the holidays. There are more shows this week than we can shake a stick at (yes, that was us you saw running rampant down your street, waving branches and other stick-like objects). Join us as we sift through the chaos. Making things even more exciting, a Concordia video crew drops in on the Midnight Poutine studio to film us “in action”. They haven’t said anything, but I’m pretty sure they’re making the 4D sequel to Avatar.
