merci montreal!


.:flecton rocks at les 3 minots. no one could tell us what minots means:.

kelp records staged two hugely successful shows this past weekend in montreal.

the first was a friday afternoon outdoor bbq as we teamed up with vancouver's mint records. yeah, it was a chilly and blustery fall day, but the crowd was hardy (hey, they're montrealers, man) and the bands rocked all afternoon. mint's novillero blew me away and angela devaux's set was wonderful as well. kelp camp pals flecton and the hilotrons joined camp radio to round out the bill.


.:the bbq crowd hit the kegs and grills despite the chilly day:.

next up for the kelp caravan was a showcase at a quaint and esthetically pleasing les 3 minots. andrew vincent, rhume, flecton, camp radio and the hilotrons turned out amazing sets for the capacity crowd that cycled through all evening. kelp has some solid traction in our neighbouring city to the east!

thanks to mark lepage for some swell notes in the montreal gazette.


.:andrew vincent and a swell looking fire jet:.


while the gear load-in to hotel rooms was getting a little tiring by 3am sunday morning, the team effort once again turned out to be a killer success.

watch for pics from kelp's photo stream coming soon.
