When Dave and Ralph first played together in Montreal back in 1997, the cops came down and told them to turn it down (seriously!). Ralph DAVE RAVE Dave Rave has been a pop cult figure for years; member of Teenage Head, first North American artist signed to Russia's Melodyia label; session stalwart (Alex Chilton, Andrew Loog Oldham, etc), member of The Washington Squares, and on and on. If you really love music, you have no choice but to come down and say hi. Yes, he will play some Head tunes. Dave Rave> PLUNT Pop punk with Poops G. on vocals and drums (like a revved up Moe Tucker!) plus Bongo Beat's Kevin Komoda on facial expressions and buzzed out guitar. Ryan (bass) and Bryan (guitar) try to keep up. Plunt THE FRANCO PROIETTI MORPH-TET Thank God - real musicians!! After everybody else's shenanigans, Franco and crew throw down some hard-edged jazz funk with special guest Jonathan Emile (mindpeacelove). http://www.myspace.com/francoproietti Les 3 Minots is a great club right on St Laurent. No food is served except for FREE PRETZELS ALL NIGHT! You can bring in your own food as well (recommended but hey, free pretzels). Beer and drinks are insanely CHEAP but you must pay cash (bank machine across the street). High stage with great sound and lights and great sightlines.
