Del Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Friday Sept. 30Pop Montreal FestivalLe SwimmingMontreal, QCDoors: 9:00 PM | Show: 9:00 PMAges: 18+The Slip returns to Le Swimming as part of the Pop Montreal festival. There won't be an advance tickets and all tickets can be purchased at the door. The Slip plays at 11pm. In three years, Pop Montreal has grown to include a bold cross-section of art forms and events, never losing sight of our focused mandate to reflect the community. Fans, journalists, musicians and industry representatives met in common spaces to experience a whirlwind of the best, most captivating, music and underground culture in North America.I thought there wasn't going to be a Montreal date on this tour? Unless this isn't part of their Canadian tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 awesome. I knew they could get a gig here. It's just a shame about the venue. Didn't know swimming was even a part of pop montreal (which is a GREAT festival by the way).Damn. Just looked on their site and this is the same night as Black Mountain, another band I really wanted to check out. Well, I think Slip trumps Black Mountain....

Weirdness Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 To sweeten the deal, they don't have another date booked stateside until October 7th, so that leaves a couple of more shows yet to be revealed in Ontario. Ottawa on the Saturday, Toronto early the next week??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Given that it's for the festival it'll be a short one hour set I suspect. What is great though is I really have trouble imagining that some of the journalists and scenester types in attendance won't latch on to what they're doing and give them some of the exposure they much deserve.

shainhouse Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Luke,I agree. The Slip have become a lot more 'Indie' with their sound (whatever Indie means in mainstream's eyes) and they should be receiving more press and kudos than they do. It'll happen.

bouche Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 I emailed someone asking about the length of the show . Slip's site says they are on at 11. Hopefully that means it's them until the end.I really gotta see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blane Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 How about some pre-show micro brews just around the corner from the show? There's a great place called the Reservoir on the corner of Duluth and St. Laurent. More details to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
