Weekend Bliss
What a weekend. Sherbrooke. Instant crush. This is the second time we visit this month and this town is growing on me. It’s nothing like I imagined it. The town is good-looking, the people are unique and vibrant, the architecture is surprising and the air is exciting. We played a show in a loft called Little Black Box, a little piece of coolness right off the main street. Home to...

Ottawa Redux
Ottawa. Here we are again.  I’ll say it up front : we simply love it there. Mostly because the people seem to be so genuinely in search of fun and good times, and so far away from cynicism and mind games.Many people keep telling us how “boring” and “stupid” Ottawa is and how “no good bands” come from there. All-over Bul#$@$it. *** The lineup that...

Lizard's Ball
Our first gig in Québec City went really good, despite a very rocky trip… Our new van was not able to accompany us for the trip this time (for reasons I cannot divulge, for fear of being slaughtered by the Chevy gods) so we had to borrow Jon’s parents’ cars and split the band in two monstrous entities, aching to be put back together (humpty-dumpty style). Québec crowds are...

Happy holidays to your mom !
Cold Ottawa morning. Snow. We wake up in Pat’s house, who hosted the show’s afterparty last night. Hangover Fest. We can’t leave because our stuff is in his room, and he’s deeply asleep. So we just hang & stare at Mrs. Hepburn’s poster. She’s quite stunning. He wakes up. We reminisce the great keg after party. You know a party is a total success when the...

Bits and pieces…
Exciting times… We’re back in writing-mode with a bunch of new songs being cooked up. There’s a theme floating there, but it’s not clear yet where it will take us. We’re trying to change the way we write songs, which is as exhilarating as it is scary. We’re also revisiting an old ghost and cooking up more Disney fun :) *** We’re also getting busy on the touring side, visiting Quebec and Ottawa...

Bio
Montreal’s Intensive Care blends the visceral power of rock with intricate, rule-breaking songwriting. Their close collaborations with Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes) gave birth to a critically-acclaimed first LP. They are now working extensively with Jace on a follow-up album that promises to be raw, explosive and uncompromisingly honest..

tour diary///nov2009///////Toronto, ON
The city of cities… OK, let me start off by stating once more how much I love Toronto. There’s something about this city that just clicks with me. I’m always stunned when (some) Montrealers’ state how much they dislike it. Sure, it’s very “new-york-like” but since when is that a bad thing ? Anyway, the ride there was great fun. No old lady collapsed in my arms this time around. We went...

tour diary///nov2009///////Guelph, ON
Back in M-town. Exhaustion is Queen. Guelph was very surprising. I absolutely loved this town, and it managed to shatter every negative assumption I had about it. We hung out on the Guelph U campus all day, surrounded by the most good-looking, diverse and energetic people I had seen in a while :) (some weren’t so good looking, though). The town itself seems to be run by students, and downtown is...

tour diary///nov2009///////Kitchener, ON
This morning, an old lady collapsed in my arms. Almost died. Didn’t die. I call that a good start to the day! Here we are in the Embassy Motel. After last night’s festive van nap, we felt like we deserved a good bed and pillow. This motel has everything ! Beds, a window, a TV and a door knob. Of course, there’s also the India Mahal Palace next door, for aroma therapy. Last night’s show was...

tour diary///nov2009///////Hamilton, ON
9 hour drive– Not something I usually look forward to. But, thanks to a lot of vitamin water, unnatural ammounts of candy & junk food and a random music playlist that featured Blur, Britney and, of course, Destiny’s Child’s Independant Woman, we had a bitchin’ good time! Hamilton’s quite a seductress. We had to work for it, but it payed off beyond our expectations. After a somewhat disastrous...

tour diary///nov2009///////prelude
We’re going on a fun Ontario ride next week to play a few shows. Needless to say I’m very exited about it, since it’s our first foray outside the magical Montreal. I’m a little nervous at the idea of meeting Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph for the first time… I mean I’m friends with them on facebook and all, but we’ve never met face to face!  Toronto, I have met before, and she seduced me; so we’re...
