Mes Aieux First

My short Quebec City adventure is posted and ready for preview at gonomad.com! As blogged about last month, I made so many friends in Quebec, it felt like home-away-from-home by the 3rd day. I moshed to 15 world bands, all unique in their own rite, but Mes Aieux undeniably stood out as the most energetic. I just discovered that my review of their music is the first American press coverage they've ever received. Hard to comprehend since the six have been together since 1996 churning out urban folk with a massive Canadian and European following. There's little hope of hearing cool international stuff like them on commercial radio but with satellite you'll hear them along Polyphonic Spree, Les Breastfeeders (yes, that's the name) and punk-pop band Simple Plan - oh wait, "Untitled" is already a hit in the US. In my next life I'm coming back as a musician but make that a Canadian musician -- they're way nicer, ehh.
