Every Thursday night at 9 p.m. (same time zone as the Plateau), the Pirates present Time's Up at Black Jack (3814 Notre-Dame W.), a DJ night manned by the members of their crew and a weekly guest, this week represented by Pete from Born Dead Icons. Knowing that nothing unites the city like watching the Habs blow a lead in the last minute, they'll be airing all the games that fall on Thursday nights at the bar, followed up with their standard fare of high-quality "weird" punk, which is a wide net that one imagines catches more Butthole Surfers than it does Bad Religion. Besides the weekly night, they'll be putting on shows all year in their hood, the next on the schedule
Lickety Split is a "pansexual" (all sex, not sex with pans) smutty zine dedicated to encouraging the sexing of sex in a sexual and sexy way. They fling the collective sexes of their fifth issue onto the sex wall this Saturday night (Nov. 3) at Zoobizarre, with the help of the fuckin' awesome Starvin Hungry, PARLOVR, and The Dead Doll Dancers, with DJing provided by the aforementioned Pirates.
La Tulipe is a beautiful venue of varying sound quality where I've seen both amazing and awful shows, though decidedly more of the former. (M.I.A. and Coco Rosie immediately come to mind.) Thursday night, the converted theatre sets up the stage for the album release of Ghislain Poirier's Ninja Tune debut, No Ground Under. Big Ghis will be doing things up live, joined by a drummer and a slew of rappers that include Abdominal, Face-T, Zulu, Nik Myo and Omnikrom. If you need more convincing, Sixtoo is the opening act. Coming up a little ways along in the calendar, on Nov. 8, they've got romantic indie-swamp rockers Band Of Horses alongside The Drones and Tyler Ramsey.
It's been said that a picture is worth exactly 1,000 words, which may mean that many photographers get paid by receiving the text that their photo is set to accompany. It may also, or instead, mean that the SNS photo this week of Tunnel Of Love, who play Divan Orange on Saturday night, is so mind-meltingly captivating that it alone has provided you with enough information to pique your curiosity (and crotches).
