his set at osheaga was the best sounding set. he came out of all the speakers on both stages! getting there early is smart. last two shows filled up during 1st set.

As an interesting fact, our special guest rarely ‘plays’ live with other musicians, and this is likely the 1st (and possibly only) opportunity many Montrealers will have to see him in this format. It’s only fitting, because his soon-to-be-released album features many live musicians, a few of whom will be performing at this very show.

cool. thanks. i grew up in Ottawa, but don't know Mavericks. I'll check it out. Meanwhile, gotta go run and prepare for tonights insanity!

well, i'll let you know when this weekends recordings are ready. the podcasts are testaments to the diversity we've had at these sessions. We even put together a couple of projects to do random shows in other towns...you know...if Hillside is ever interested in hosting a Moondata show...

done. let's see those 'reads' light up...

well, i'm psyched to be playing with Brad, and after playing with Andrew last month, i'm hoping to see him play more often. if you're interested, check out the new Moondata podcast. just uploaded two episodes taken from last month's show.... www.moondataproductions.com/podcast/MDradio.rss for iTunes subscription, click here

hey there, some of you might be interested in checking out our podcasts. every month it's a different episode featuring different artists and collaborations. The newest episodes were taken from last month's LABproject, which was, we're told, one of the best ever. Featuring Jean-Phi Goncalves (drums), Andrew Barr (drums), Mishka Stein (bass), Simon Angell (guitar), Matt Lederman (guitar), Killa-Jewel (turntables), and Christian Baang (keys). Guest vocals by Patrick Watson. Played live to a sold out crowd at O Patro Vys, January 13, 2007 www.moondataproductions.com/podcast/MDradio.rss for iTunes subscription, click here enjoy!

I've always found that Montreal is less into the 'jamband' scene compared to other parts of the country. I know a lot of people that are into the Slip however, and I'm sure the more they play around here, it will catch on.

it's insane every month. definately worth a trip to la belle ville. jorane's been a hero of mine for a long time. she's even recorded with Daniel Lanois!
