The end of the last millennium and the beginning of the new they represented a small, big revolution in the music scene of Montreal, beyond Italo-disco, jazz and current music. The first thing you think of is obviously post-rock: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion and Esmerine. Then the scope widens and embraces pop, techno, indie but also sound art, field recording, drones and film music, from Arcade Fire to BIG|BRAVE passing through the soundtrack of the film “Tu Dors Nicole” (2014) by Stéphane Lafleur, closed by Sean Nicholas Savage's most famous song, “Disco Dancing”. Montréal is a…
The British magazine Mojo dedicates an in-depth analysis to Frank Zappa, publishing its ranking of the 10 best albums made by the brilliant composer from Baltimore. “In every city there is always a loon, an outcast who is mocked but also, perhaps, slightly revered because he dares to think differently. He might even appreciate our music”, declared Frank Zappa in 1966, on the eve of the release of “Freak Out!”, the first Mothers Of Invention album – recalls Mojo. Over the next 26 years, until his death on December 4, 1993, Zappa made his outsider status a true trademark, turning…

Article by Umberto Scaramozzino Every time a journalist has to report on a concert, the temptation to use the phrase “collective ritual” is always too strong. And there are many who fall for it, far too many, to the point of having made the very idea of thinking about those two malevolently magnetic words repellent. In the case of Nick Cavehowever, is not a hyperbole, but not even a metaphor. The paradigm is overturned and the term “concert” becomes the lexical alternative, even overtaken by “liturgy”, which is equally abused. But it is undoubtedly like this: there is a difference…
There’s a moment at the start of the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy gala, typically held on the eve of the big show, when an invited guest realizes, you’re not so special. Sure, your name might be on the guest list for the seated dinner, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills for the past two decades, but your worth in the music industry is reduced to a little paper stub and a sharpie, marking your table number at the ultra-exclusive gathering. Anything in the double digits, you’re in the golden circle; the 100s means you’re very, very important;…
“I thrive amongst the misfits,” Rachel Wolfson says. It’s a warm May afternoon in Griffith Park, Los Angeles. The coffee shop where we’ve met is at a trailhead, and Wolfson, a comedian, podcaster, and the only female cast member of Jackass, stands out amid the groups of women in Lululemon wrangling kids with iPads and lemonades. She’s in tight black jeans and a leopard-print bra top, sipping black cold brew (“I choose violence,” she deadpanned to the barista taking her order), having expertly navigated kitten heels on an uneven dirt path to get to a picnic table where we can…
