On a cold, rainy Montreal night, The Joy Formidable were back in town
(almost 6 months to the day) serving us a second helping of their sweet,
melodious shoegaze witnessed by a lucky few @ Petit Campus.

At barely an hour, we got pretty much the same setlist has last time with
maybe one or two new songs thrown into the mix.

I, sadly got there late, missing out on Local band Receivers and their
tour companions from their last U.S. trek, Brooklyn band The Dig.

I did however, manage to record the last 2 songs in their set, the single
“Popinjay” released earlier this year and the stirring closer in  “Whirring”
which turned into a crazy, epic, fuzzed out, distorted 8 minute freak out.

Joy Formidable will go for the hat trick by coming back next February, in town
to promote their debut album “The Big Roar”.

They will be in Quebec city tonight, playing @ L’agitée. The remaining tour dates
can be found on their Myspace page.

In the meantime, check out the first single “I Don’t Want To See You Like This”
of said new album in music video form:

New Tron: Legacy Trailer Feat. Daft Punk Music

Posted on | October 26, 2010 | No Comments

It’s pretty well known by now that Daft Punk did their first film scoring work for
Tron: Legacy coming out in a theater near you December 17th.

The track “Derrezed” is the first composition heard in it’s entirety and is used to score this new kickass trailer.

I will be lucky enough to attend an event this Thursday at my local IMAX theater
where 20 minutes of the movie will be shown.

Yes.

I am that much of a dork.

But still, i’ve been dying to see this thing since the first images came out
in 2008 so you will pardon me if I geek the F out has I watch said footage
with my fellow Tron nerds in 2 days.

In the meantime, enjoy this new trailer and try to spot the quick or you’ll
miss them cameo of the french electro duo DJ’ing an event in zee Tron world.

Soundtrack will be released on December 7th.
