Everyone on the West Coast is all “New York this and the Big Apple that…”

Everyone on the Internet is all “Brooklyn this and pop music that…”

Who gives a fuck about New York. I’ll take Montreal over The City That Never Sleeps just about any day of the week. I’m not just saying that because my parents decided to make sweet love after a Montreal Canadians game in order to bring yours truly into the world. And I’m not just saying that because super cool Montreal acts Thunderheist and Winter Gloves are taking over Chop Suey on Thursday night. You take a walk down St. Catherine’s Street on a night in July and tell me that you don’t agree.

With that being said, Thursday night’s musical performers aren’t really my thing. Keyboard driven dance pop usually gives me ulcers. I’d rather go swimming with a plethora of jellyfish in a baby pool than listen to Postal Service. The overly optimistic blips and programmed drums are cute, but I’m not into robot fuck music. And as much as I bash a genre that has never really grown on me, I expect Thursday night at Chop Suey to be ridiculously fun. This is one of those shows that you’re going to regret missing if you do. Winter Gloves play music that will cause your girlfriend to get guest listed. Sorry, she’s leaving you for the band. Thunderheist’s name means that they literally steal your thunder and there isn’t shit you can do about it. Don’t say you weren’t forewarned. You better get down with the get down.
