My uber-talented and generally awesome friend Matthew has been staying with me this weekend because he and some friends had a gig tonight. And it was awesome. The show itself, entitled "Mega Sound Rap Explosion" was in Gatineau. Gatineau is seriously weird man. The main streets are covered in strip malls surrounded by residential areas. Within the residential areas there are groups of extremely seedy bars. Of course, this was where they were playing. The club itself (Le Garage) looked sort of like an airplane hangar. The sides were rounded and it was covered in sheet metal. In short, it was an oversized glorified shed. The place was pretty empty (there were about a dozen people out) yet a fight almost erupted. Between two cousins. Wearing matching rugby shirts.
This really amused me- there aren't the same sort of liquor vending restrictions as in Ontario which is fine but having a beer and wine section at a gas station where everyone is driving just seems like a bad idea to me.
Now is the part where I pimp their music.
