Patrick Watson à Gatineau ce soir!

Written

Francois

on Thursday, June 18, 2009

C’est à ma grande déception que je me suis rendu compte de cet évènement seulement ce matin. Il faut croire que les nouvelles ne traversent pas toujours la rivière. Quelle nouvelle? Patrick Watson a joué hier soir, et jouera aussi ce soir à la Salle Jean-Despréz à Gatineau en compagnie de Marie-Pierre Arthur.

Gagnant du prestigieux prix Polaris en 2007, le premier second album de Watson, “Close to Paradise”, est tout à fait sublime. Sa pièce The Great Escape a été l’une des chansons les plus jouées sur mon ipod lors des deux dernières années. Malgré la pression de créer qui vient avec la victoire du prix Polaris (pour Close to Paradise), Watson et sa troupe semblent très satisfaits de leur nouvel album “Wooden Arms” et pour bonne cause, les quatre comparses poussent encore plus loin la beauté et la créativité sur cet album. Vous pouvez écouter quelques pièces de cet album sur le Myspace de Watson. J’aime particulièrement sa collaboration avec Katie Moore Big Bird in a Small Cage.

Comme j’ai dit précédemment, vous avez une petite chance de voir Patrick Watson pour $28 à la Salle Jean-Despréz (25, rue Laurier) à Gatineau. Faites vite! C’est ce soir et les billets s’envolent vite…

The Beast is coming to a town near you.

Written

Francois

on Wednesday, February 4, 2009

Those that know The Triplets of Belleville or DJ Champion will certainly recognize the mesmerizing, powerful voice of Betty Bonifassi in her new outfit: Beast. She has teamed up with Jean-Phi Goncalves, an energetic percussionist from Montreal to form this hard hitting trip hop power house. They are playing their only show in the Ottawa area this Saturday, February 7th at Loft 455 in Gatineau (455 Boul. de l’Hôpital). Doors open at 8pm and tickets are advertised for only $5 (this seems almost to good to be true!).

Beast will surely make you want to dance! dance! dance! You want proof, click here to listen to their tunes. I particularly like Satan.

For info on tickets, call the Loft 455 ticketline at 819-962-5638.
