>Well, one thing for sure the crowd sucked! >Quite a bit too much of "I must be seen here" people >talking and not giving a damn during Monolake set. Not to rip on Montreal in general, as it is probably my favourite place out of the many I have lived in, but I find a lot of the Montreal audiences I have experienced sucked completely. Especially Hotel2Tango audiences... I have just about walked out of shows livid when people like David Kristian or Alex St-Onge would deliver awesome sets of beautiful, quiet, understated music, and all the stupid 'scene' kids kept on talking all the way through it, rendering the music inaudible. Maybe I'm overreacting, but it really pisses me off when these morons don't have the common decency to let you enjoy the music you paid good money to see, or to give respect for the artist who has made the effort to come out and play their music live. Anyways... my rant for the day. -Piotr
