VOIVOD Montreal 1989

Sometimes I forget how ambitious I was when I was young. I had sold a portrait or two from the film festival to the Village Voice in the fall of 1989 when Edna Suarez, their photo editor, called me from New York to ask how hard it would be for me to get to Montreal to shoot a band. I didn't tell her that it was no small trip given Canadian distances, but I wanted the job really badly, so I mumbled something about taking the train and got the assignment to photograph Voivod, a heavy metal band from Quebec who had just shifted from noisy thrash to a complex prog metal that would give birth to a whole subgenre. I got the phone number for the band's manager and arranged a day for the shoot, then got on the phone with VIA Rail. (Canada's Amtrak. Keep in mind this was the pre-internet world, and my only other option would have been going to a travel agent or down to Union Station to book a ticket, which I'd have to do anyway to pay for my fare once it was reserved.) I was on an overnight train from Toronto to Montreal - over eight hours in a coach seat, but thankfully they didn't charge for baggage, and I would be bringing most of my studio with me - two cameras, light stands and the ProFoto ProAcute 6 strobe kit I'd just bought with money I'd inherited after my mother had died.

Voivod are, in my opinion, one of a half dozen really original bands that have come out of Canada. (Also on that list: Simply Saucer, NoMeansNo, Death From Above 1979.) I'd liked them since early, abrasive records like Rrröööaaarrr, and wasn't the only one intrigued by their new, prog-ier direction, as they'd caught the attention of the music critics at the Village Voice enough to warrant a feature in their end-of-year Pazz & Jop poll, for which I was providing the photos. I arrived in Montreal early on a Saturday morning to find that the city had just been blanketed by a snowstorm. I hauled all my camera gear upstairs from the Gare Centrale to the dining room of the Queen Elizabeth hotel for breakfast, to wait for Voivod's manager. He showed up just as I was finishing, and helped me carry my gear to his car, and we set out for the band's rehearsal space in a big complex out in a Montreal industrial suburb. Everyone seemed baffled but flattered that a New York magazine would send a photographer all the way from Toronto for a photo shoot, but I scoped out the room - your standard stark cube in an old warehouse building, with windows high on one wall and egg cartons covering the other walls to provide cheap acoustic insulation.

I worked hard to deliver a lot of options from my photo shoot with Voivod in their Montreal rehearsal space. Thankfully I had the luxury of time and subject who were, most of the time, engaged with the task at hand. I also lit the hell out of it, using all three of the heads in my strobe kit to provide everything from flattering soft light, moody "horror movie" light from below, and hard light shooting almost directly into my Nikon F3 to make the lens flare. I had the band pose in the usual, full-length band shots, looming above me as I kneeled on the floor, and huddled together screaming their lungs out. But my most successful set-up was composed with my new Rolleiflex - the band lit from above against a backdrop of egg crates, looking up into the light as if they're about to be raptured, or abducted by friendly aliens. That was the one I was certain that Edna at the Village Voice would like the most, and I was right. (I'd prove it to you if I could find the tearsheets which, I fear, may be long lost.) I definitely lost money on the gig after paying for cabs to and from the train station, my ticket, and breakfast at the Queen Elizabeth. But I seemed to pass the test and continued to get work from Edna for several years, first at the Voice and then at the New York Times when she moved there. Voivod are still together, and released Morgöth Tales, their 16th record, last year. Sadly guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour died of colon cancer in 2005.

.... it was like 2 minutes.... i really thought she was going to be the interview of the week but it was a headlines announcement

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

"A thorough modern, full-size treaty cruiser, His Majesty's Ship Norfolk, cruised into Montreal harbor on June 20 and berthed herself without the aid of tugs. Aboard was Vice-Admiral the Hon. R. A. R. Plunkett-Ernie-Erle Drax, C.B., D.S.O., commander of the American and West Indies squadron. The ship will remain in port for ten days. Much interest was shown in her berthing operation. hundreds of Montrealers lining Laurier pier against which the ship came to her moorings unassisted. Probably the longest ship ever to enter the harbor, Norfolk is certainly the most powerful. Tugs stood by, but no hawsers were run out to them. While still 200 yards off shore the Norfolk let down a boat with a shore crew aboard. Eight pairs of oars took the men in white uniform to the sea wall, up which they scrambled like monkeys." - from the Kingston Whig-Standard. June 26, 1933. Page 2.

Montréal’s MOOCH Drop Energetic New Single “Hangtime”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

By Billy Goate

It's good to have new sounds from MOOCH. We introduced you to the three-piece Québec heavy rockers back in 2020, with the premiere of their #4 Doom Charts ranking LP Hounds, which also happened to be recorded with desert rock pioneer Brant Bjork of Kyuss and Fu Manchu fame.

Now the team of Ben Cornel (guitar, vox), Julian Iac (bass) and Alex Segreti (drums) are back, after delivering a fantastic cover of Nirvana's "Something in the Way" earlier this year.

"Hangtime" is a bluesy, pulse-pounding number that'll really get your day going (or help you recover from that after-lunch coma). The song features smooth authoritative vocals, stinging classic guitar tone, lilting backing vocals, and surreal interludes.

The band had this to say about the new track:

“Hangtime” is an eclectic blues tune with rough edges, halftime drops that buckle the knees, and an outro that touches down after however long of being suspended mid-air.

Mooch's "Hangtime" releases on Friday, April 12th (get it here). They're touring Canada (see dates below) and we can only hope to see them in the States soon. Stick 'em on a playlist with Truckfighters, Atomic Bitchwax, Danava, Wet Cactus, and Pushy.

Give ear...

MOOCH · Hangtime

SOME BUZZ

Mooch is a heavy psychedelic rock trio based in Montreal/Yellowknife, Canada. The band is composed of three lead vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Ben Cornel, Julian Iac, and Alex Segreti. Down-tuned desert rock meets '90s grunge and '70s psychedelia.

Tidal waves of vocal harmonies complete the multi-faceted psych experience. For the old school lovers of The Doors, to the modern day fans of Kikagaku Moyo and Queens of the Stone Age.

The band is set to release their third full length record VISIONS May 3rd 2024, with “Hangtime” releasing as the first of two singles. Visions Tour 2024, an Eastern Canadian tour is booked for May 2024 and will be presented by Black Throne Productions and Interland Events. AAWKS and Earth Altar will join the tour as direct support during their respective legs. The tour will also host the likes of The Hazytones, Conductor, Mountain Dust and Ivy Garden.

Lyrics

Will I ever find another one like you? Been around the town and found there's nothing to do Roll with the tide, the toll is too high I will find another dollar, pinch another penny on my way

I'm waiting for you to roll my way Cuz I know you got the blues I'm just waiting for your skies to turn grey I wanna hear your hangtime blues

Pocket full of pieces of your love Let it happen Don't need a reason to move on When you're trying to erase The crimes and mistakes That were done, again and again

I'm waiting for you to roll my way Cuz I know you got the blues I'm just waiting for your skies to turn grey I wanna hear your hangtime blues

When you feel you're alone And there's nobody home You're never alone at all

Hounds, shake them down to deliver with their noses to the ground When you can't quite sing and you just can't get away You lost your tongue and don't know what to say Then you'll hear not everything you see is real Choose what you want to be revealed Time will unwind and break the seal You're never alone

Visions Tour 2024

The MOOCH live show experience is a timeless expression of rock n' roll music. Whether showered in a psychedelic light show, cradled by a curtain of fog, or out in the open air, the music is delivered with razor-sharp precision and an outflow of captivating energy from each member.

i know it is months away but i’m lowkey nervous about actually going to the venue for sleep token… i have no issue with the venue or montreal, i’m staying two mins away from a metro stop that takes me direct to the arena.

what i am worried about is people trying to queue. i see posts about it all the time at uk/european/american shows, but that behaviour is not a thing in canada!

i have gone to many many shows here and never have i ever seen a line form more than an hour before doors- and i go to all sizes of venues

i’m already not excited about the scrap that it’s gonna be to get anywhere decent on the floor, but oh god if there’s a queue… my body can physically only be on my feet for so long before it gets incredibly painful

so fingers crossed people don’t queue, i genuinely don’t understand it, you won’t get in any earlier? you’ll just be standing there for hours for no real reason? i’ve gotten barrier at so many shows after showing up half an hour after doors! there is no need to queue in canada

Ooh gonna be a dead body obv

Yay he DID bring back derrick storm!

his face is so "ugh"

RC: I CAME here to talk about your books!

*calls her by her first name*

that is a LOT of money!

The masculine boring little handshake of welcoming back castle but still nice welcome.

RC: No, to find a needle in a haystack do we not first need a haystack?

KB: Yeah, but not a haystack full of nutjobs.

why would u wrap it in plastic wrap?

Love the hot cold esparish, lanie & javi are together again for now jksdfhkjsdfksl

RC: *jokingly complaining* Disappear for two months.

Samantha Williger: I had that sick feeling when he didn’t come home. I – you hope.

RC: ...

He made toys for a living, he was a decent man, but how much profit was he making? a ton or enough to live comfortably.

Beckett is wearing light stuff, Esposito is wearing a dress shirt & crap, nice grey, I love it, looks good on him, & ryan is wearing a nice suit. too nice. why must he always look so perfect? let your tie go sometimes man.

Soldier: Sun tzu said that!

VG: Mr. Castle!

Me: she sounds mad but is probably going to welcome him back with a huge hug

VG: >:(

RC: Did you hear that? Ringing off the hook?

He grabs GATES’ face and kisses her. In her shock he grabs the stack of papers.

Me: !?!?!?!?!

Pretty place tho, look at those raggedy anne stuff

RC: TOYS!

Such an awesome kid man.

The hardest evidence to find is that is not there.

Leaving early? affair?

*piano*

love how castle is just playing in the back. Ryan & castle are the same person

Esposito mad at ryan for mentioning castle.

(could clip)

Castle in s1 used to be so smart, figured out important stuff abt beckett's backstory... now he's just insane.

Ew poor alexis.

They’re interrupted by ESPOSITO’S phone ringing. Except instead of a normal ringtone, it’s LANIE’S voice repeating “hey sexy” over and over. BECKETT gives him an amused look & he laughs in embarrassment as he answers the phone.

girl you call him for WORK!!! (unless HE did it in which case: dumbass)

I love the way ryan leans over to look yk what? I might clip

(ryan SO looks like he's going to tease esposito as they're walking away.)

was that paisosa (passion) or preciosa (precious)?

also I always love lanie's glittery phone case. (she DEF called HIM specifically to embarrass him)

The door buzzes.

MR: Ah ha! That will be my date.

RC: Ooh, you have a date?

MR: Uh huh. Robert. We met at the grief counseling group when you were presumed … (she gestures to him)

RC: You – you picked up a man at grief counseling?

MR: Yes. Now I will thank you to go into the other room.

RC: Why?

MR: Because at the moment, our relationship is based on mutual loss and if he finds out that you have returned and are alive it would just – it will ruin everything.

RC: Mother, you realize I was on television this morning.

MR: Luckily Robert is a cultured man, he does not watch television. They only newspaper he reads is The Wall Street Journal, which thankfully, did not carry news of your return. So, go. Go. Go, go.

She shoos him away as the door buzzes again. He goes, reluctantly.

Sus phone call on his personal cell not the landline or precinct phone

does or doesn't seem like his style? couldn't hear & was typing during the captions so I didn't see.

Looks a bit like fenkins...

Love "walk with me"

Love alexis' nails

she's so tall & sexy & beside her ryan is just there

Beckett driving ryan out there love it, I want more ryckett moments & more castito/espostle moments esp this season bc esposito is constantly distrustful of castle this season.

*flips the picture over a bunch*

"that thing" *boss looks at him angrily* KR: "uh, what thing ':)"

Back at the precinct but where is esposito still off to?

KR: Aside from our country outsourcing all its manufacturing needs to Asia, everything seems to be in order.

Oh THERE he is! & he has the doggo!!!

*everyone watching him*

Ryckett watching with big smiles

(why his pants so shiny?)

*ryan asks the dog to follow him to look at street cam footage*

the three most important people in my life, the three women I love most.

Drugs? Drugs. What's this drug detective doing on homicide?

"I brought you detectives up here, I figured you would no longer need me..."

Ryan *flips around the paper again*

*throws him across the piano keys* priceless.

Tory <3

Montreal AGAIN? Do you at least have your daughter w u?

oh NOT the end of the ep!

THE ROOM HE MADE THE VIDEO

Take his word Castle. Take his word. Go home, live your life, know that it was ok.

oooOOOOOHHOHOHHHH that MUSIC!!!!

RC: I know you’re involved. I know wh.. you know what happened to me. Who are you?

Don't ask "or what" with a gun pointed at you

Who is "we"?

I've heard of hollander's woods in fanfic.

ANOTHER REASON HE BECAME AN AUTHOR?

YEAH CASTLE YOU SHOULD HAVE TAKEN BECK WITH YOU

Martha is right. Don't open the box. You have the closure of knowing SOMETHING happened & you CHOSE to forget.

but then like an alcoholic, beckett opened back up to her mom's murder.

KB: Oh, Castle. (she pulls away so she can see him) This is completely different. Whatever happened to you, you already knew the truth and you decided you didn’t want to remember it anymore. And as much as we wanted to know the answers, if you decided that then there had to have been a reason.

She's so right.

I was THINKING a month. that sounds about right. Are they going to plan it again tho?

Yay spontaneous marriage!

Or not

SHEA BREAKING UP W HIM oh no thank goodness

You can see castle isn't planning on forgetting this tho

WOohoo I love having some time before school starts for real! tho I should print off my practicum agreement thing. but there's CAASTLLE TO WATCH
