Plus que quelques jours avant que GIRL, prometeuse formation indie rock locale, ne sorte ses plus beaux habits pour donner leur plus grande prestation ce jour. C'est à l'espace DELL ARTE que le quatuor originaire de Mont-Saint-Bruno présentera ses nouvelles chansons dans une soirée, on le chuchote un peu partout, complètement folle.

On se souviens que, il y a quelques mois à peine, le groupe avait lancé un premier album éponyme fort rafraichissant et entamait une série de spectacle partout dans la métropole. Mercredi, GIRL continuera dans leur récente foulée, proposant une mise en scène ambitieuse et une grande dose de nouvelles compositions. Comptez sur eux pour tout donner puisque la soirée sera filmée pour un DVD live.

C'est chaud!

The best way to celebrate Halloween is by having a Raveonettes-sweet giveaway.
I KNOW THAT YOU WANT THE CANDY!

Since 2003, the Danish duo has been pretty consistent at coming out with decent albums every two years. Some of their catchiest post-punk-garage-noisy-pop songs have been featured in large-audience works like Old Navy TV ads, The OC episodes, and the soundtrack to the video game Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse - perfect for Halloween!

This month, The Raveonettes strike back with the release of their 4th album "In and Out of Control" and a video for the first single "Last Dance".

Our prize pack includes the new album on CD, LP and a poster but hurry, the contest ends on Monday November 2nd at 9 am.
