CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: August 2, 2016

unnamed

Hello radio,
What a weekend – longtime CKUT bffs Steve Jr. rolled into town all the way from New York to play a very special BBQ we organized on Saturday alongside locals Terrified Michael F. (pictured above) and J. Deady. There was amazing food, great sounds, and the cops didn’t fine us over noise in the end. Everybody wins!

An important note for the next few weeks – I will be on vacation for most of August and only checking emails sporadically, so please reach out to our wonderful librarianBejal for any music department stuff or contact admin@ckut.ca for general station inquires. There won’t be any charts or tracking while I’m gone, but our trusty team of music volunteers will be holding it down and making sure new music gets into circulation.

Hope you all enjoy this last month of summer and looking forward to catching up in September.

:::WHAT’S UP AT CKUT:::
In a last-minute schedule switcheroo, local man about town Alex Pelchat (*Shining Wizard*, Gens Chrétiens, drøm før du dør) is hopping into the studio to host the August edition of the Montreal Sessions. In classic Pelchat style, he whipped together a killer series of live performances to treat yr ears every Tuesday from 3-5pm. Tune in today to catch Providence, RI heavyweights Mother Tongue rip it up live in the studio, and get a taste of what else is in store this month on the CKUT website. Miss it live? Not to worry – grab the archived audio right here and save that baby forever.

CKUT TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE CHARTS::: July 26, 2016

Greetings friends,
Not too much to report today: I saw Mitski over the weekend and got sucked into watching the entirety of Stranger Things. Keeping it pretty quiet these days to save my energy for a very busy August –  but more about that in next week’s chart email.

:::WHAT’S UP AT CKUT::::
Summer calls for outdoor celebrations, and with that in mind we’re thrilled welcome Montreal expats Steve Jr. back into town for a very special parking lot gig/BBQ on Saturday. For those not in the know, this duo left a deep impression on the Mtl scene with their heavy & impossibly catchy riffs before skipping town last year. Now they’re back for a single gig in the parking lot of 110 Van Horne along with Terrified Michael F, DJ Frog, and J Deady on the decks — a truly all-star crew if we ever saw one, curated by the fine ears of CKUT’s late-night sound guru Spencer Gilley. The forecast is perfect, there’ll be food on the BBQ, and it’s a fundraiser for CKUT. What’s not to love?

BONJOURHI!!!!

The time has come at last, peeps. Over the next few months, I will be reviewing ~wicked local~ artists and concerts from Boston, MA and the surrounding area to give Montrealers (and the awesome people who follow this blog) a taste of the music scene down the coast. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for some pretty sweet reviews starting in the next few weeks.

Stay chill MTL (but not too chill, enjoy that warmer weather!!),

Hey friends,

The new wave of students is slowly trickling into Montreal and it makes me feel old. Whatever. It’s still summer out there, and I’m gonna make the most of it before the fall really kicks in… Time to cram the next couple weeks with as many BBQs, sunny bike rides, and swimming adventures as possible.

:::WHAT’S UP AT CKUT:::
Do you live in Montreal? Are you free on Thursday? Do you like good music? If the answer to these questions is YES, then be sure to join us at local watering hole Nouveau Palais from 10pm-3am as an all-star crew of CKUT DJs take over the decks. Expect everything from tropicalia to punk rock — no holds barred, and open ears highly encouraged. We’re teaming up with the good folks over at Passovah to make this happen and we’d love to see you there!
