Happy Birthday Blue Skies Turn Black. The local concert promoter celebrates 10 years of bringing interesting, challenging, and innovative music to Montreal this weekend with a series of free shows up at Il Motore. Even though we're marking an anniversary of our own this week (Yay Episode #150!), we're babies in this city compared to them. Our hats are off and our glasses are raised for everyone at BSTB.
