15 mai - generator show_popup_01_2026 daytime shows are cool. i think my favorite part was seeing curious people show up and take a peek. c’est also some really good lighting to play with shadows. i also love seeing people play with laptops. like, in my heart, that is a 2-person group. the laptop is a band member. this logic also applies to djs or anyone with a drum machine. drone, noise or experimental acts are either 2-person groups or like an ensemble depending on how many layers of bidule there is. seum was awesome, some occasional notes of stoner rock in there minus les vocals, que j’ai trouvé pretty intéressant. ca me surprend pas, in a way, en sachant que le stoner rock a tellement été influencé par des generator shows (et en ayant le contexte de leur shows à montréal dans le métro pis toutte) speaking of bidules as instruments: j’ai also tellement aimé le set a earth altar pis jsuis bummed que i forgot to ask if they had cds. i have a discography to dive into.

12 mai - a horse named friday, chalumeau man ça c’était tellement beau. wow. insane que this show had 2 members missing?? j’ai vraiment hâte d’écouter leur cd pour entendre les tounes avec le banjo pis le violon. though c’était incroyable even with just 4 members playing. i have difficulty finding words for a lot of this set because i was so focused on the music and not on finding words to describe it later. their music is not on streaming but i highly recommend checking out their bandcamp!! their album is 8$ and you get alllllll the files and they’re yours and u keep em FOREVER! fuck streaming i love seeing artists that reject streaming platforms big big love the palestinian folk song that they played in their set was so nice and so beautiful, i loved the drumming in it and just wow…. the last slide of this post is a qr code/link to a fundraiser for a friend of the band in gaza. please give if you can. :)

2 mai - generator show_01_2026 (post 4 of 4) - dazey was looking forward to seeing this band since i saw the event poster and boy did they not disappoint. i love me some lesbian emo it’s to be expected of a band with queer punk grit, but i found it comforting to hear queer sex and queer… existence, everything, described in all its technicalities and quirks and hiccups in the ways they were described in these lyrics. hrt is turning me into my mother. these ssri’s don’t leave much between the eyes but baby, you’re getting me off. toxic yuri in all its splendour. isn’t it bittersweet? the experience of transitioning and realizing that this really is all i am, i guess. felt super seen in a way i haven’t felt in a crowd in a while, was very very lovely. also that girls cover by the dare was fucking insane WOW and it feels like i haven’t heard dance dance since my highschool prom, what a fucking killer context in which to hear it again

2 mai - generator show_01_2026 (post 3 of 4) - mango street trio heard the guitar tone during setup and immediately was reminded of peach pit (which was fun because. y’know. fruit names) was not disappointed in the slightest, it was peach pit vibes and so much more???? that whole lotta love cover was fucking BOOONKERS, and i never knew i needed to hear a punk cover of la bamba yet here i am, and my life is so much better with it. wow. more shitpost songs on setlists please! AND MORE JAZZ DRUMMERS!!!!

2 mai - generator show_01_2026 (post 2 of 4) - no name, grotesque children, state of mind how lovely to finally see the band we’ve been seeing on that poster at xeroz. made my night man. it warms my heart every time i see people my brother’s age get on stage (or on tarp???) and absolutely crush it. awesome stuff. moth cloak was also very cool, shoutout incredible cover choice as well, territorial pissings is awesome

2 mai - generator show_01_2026 (post 1 of 4) trying something new, have too many pics so i’m doing one post per band/amalgamation of bands it feels right to start off with babyland/general generator show recap. like wow that was so cool thank you for organizing these (and the other organizers as well of course! shoutout tammi and anyone else who i am not aware of) also, as someone who photographs this shit i feel the need to say it every time but SHOUTOUT TO WHOEVER WAS ON LIGHTS u made my night wonderful and awesome and i owe u an assist for all my cool pics yippee i always love hearing babyland’s stuff as an opener, it’s always such a nice way to start the night, right after sunset, it’s not quite pitch black outside yet, listening to her songs in any other context just doesn’t feel the same! i think her last song was my favorite, or maybe export a blues if any acts would like all of their pics, please hit me up! i will be posting my favs but if you’d like all of em i’d love to send them over :) i’d also love to know what kind of shots you’d like to have of you or your band so i can know next time i catch ya playing :3

15 avril - mulch, chalumeau, jimmy underground wow je suis comme. comically late on posting these. je blâme la session d’examens. j’a déjà vu les deux autres groupes pis jsuis déjà un big fan mais wow. mulch??? est crazy??? c’était tellement fucking bon??? usually jva plus in depth mais c un peu loin dans ma mémoire now mais i just remember que c’était insanely bon. more weird moshable noise shit stp merci!!!!

10 avril - pt.2 - B.A. Johnston tellement triste que all his best songs aren’t on here. comme How Many T-Bone Steaks Can I Fit In My Pants. ou I Don’t Buy No Government Weed (Still Buying From Steve). ou I Rock The Hawkins. une expérience incroyable. je suis changé à jamais. once again reminding us that the best way to make political music is over a sick synth beat. i don’t think que j’ai ever vu du stage presence quite like this before mais also je comprends why. because jesus christ le cleanup after this must’ve been in-fucking-sane. felt like drag except i’ve never been to a show where the artist walked a potted plant around the bar and sprayed the crowd (and the ceiling) with beer. à ne pas manquer

10 avril - pt. 1 - tea 4 three doing this in 2 parts cause j’ai trop de insane pics. in other news. réunion incroyable entre mes oreilles et my beloved slow jam. merveilleux. super happy de voir plus de noise experimentation a des shows, ça me donne tellement hâte à reflux…. i <3 noise and drone and weird experimental stuff wowowow. shoutout vel pour le super cool guitar leaning on the amp thing that was SO cool prendre des photos d’artistes de shoegaze est also so funny sometimes cause y’avait un guy qui était pas mal clairement there for BA johnston qui me regardait prendre des photos des pedalboards pis c’est comme. bro i swear i’m not being weird i’m focusing on the feet for a reason it’s. it’s called shoegaze because. they gaze at their. shoes. and the pedals. are important. please believe me PLEAAAASE side note shoutout whoever was on lighting, le lighting allait craaazy c’était trop cool

vache évachée debut show - rockin 4 dollars quelle joie d’y être (avec toute la paroisse dans la crowd, en plus) plus de shows devraient être photographiés avec des outils non-conventionnels comme des 3DS, selon moi. pis plus d’objets non conventionnels devraient être utilisés comme micros, selon moi. j’entreprend ma campagne de lobbying dès aujourd’hui pour qu’il y aie des car seat headrest features sur un future set list. vincent je sais que tu lis ceci, c’est my official warning

27 février - rockin 4 dollars, sunnyside uppers, 1812, nasty nerm et chalumeau vibe shifts incroyables pendant la soirée, j’ai vraiment trouvé ca cool. comme je l’ai décrit on the drive home, « c’est comme scroller through des stations de radio » sunnyside uppers était super good, y’a une toune qui me donnait des vibes de uranium club si c’était moins egg punk et plus comme the strokes. super cool stuff!!! adoré le jasage entre les tounes et juste généralement le stage presence. on dirait que c’est vague comme concept, du stage presence, mais lui en avait en masse for SURE. 1812, j’avoue que les notes de patriotisme dans le nom de groupe et dans la musique (be loud, be proud and be free) ainsi qu’écrire une toune de rejection about voir une fille au bar pis being bummed or mad qu’elle vient pas te parler... ca a pas cliqué avec moi trop trop. tres théatral comme act though! i think que ca pourrait être intéressant to lean into the theatrics of their act. nasty nerm était une expérience a vivre. entre le breaker de blowé, la round de shots bought for the crowd pis le guy on stage qui lâchait pas sa phone, j’ai chuchoté a Vincent que y’a des bouttes ou ca feelait comme si je watchait de l’impro (in a good way. j’aime bien l’impro.) whoever is making the beats, massive props, y’avait du crazy stuff going on que j’ai vraiment apprécié. unfortunately j’ai un peu moins cliqué avec les paroles. je pense que c’est entièrement possible de faire du bon rap sans faire de digs misogynes! y’avait plein de paroles qui étaient super bonnes, mais en regardant le stage, voyant presque zéro femmes at the front of the crowd, on dirait que c’était dommage que le butt of the joke était tellement souvent une femme (why do prettiest girls have the ugliest feet, j’oublie le wording, c’était something like that.) maybe que y’aurait plus de femmes in the front were it not for those things! et finalement. chalumeau. il me reste pas grand place à écrire in this caption, mais le choix de saxophone est phénoménal, pis le set design est amazing as always. shoutout vincent pour le bootleg, will talk more when i play it on air!! keep you posted :p
