So yeah, two bands who've supported Lickety Split this past year are playing a show together at the new Casa/Blue Skies venue Il Motore. Both of these bands have three things in common: uncommonly nice guys, a huge young lady following and good music. So check 'em out and let us know what you think of the new venue! Montreal definitely needs more. Please someone open up more in the MTL SW, though. That would rule. Message sent out from Parlovr is below:
So, we're playing a last minute show tonight (Friday December 5) at a new venue here in Montréal called Il Motore.
It's with Sebastian Grainger & The Mountain, who is one of the guys from Death from Above 1979... and apparently a 'mountain.'
Montréal's Hollerado will also be joining us in this cock-rocking revelry. Or whatever.
The address is 179 Jean Talon West, which is between Parc and De Castelnau stations on the blue line.
C U L8er.
Love.
-Parlovr

Launch Party Antics #3: Meet PARLOVR
Yessss!! So this is the THIRD in a series of band and launch collaborator introductions here on the blog. All three bands that are playing at the launch are interviewed in the upcoming issue by one Mr. Nick Cabelli, Lickety Lad- so watch out for that too! Please get to know these bands so that you may responsibly take part in some consensual party-ness on Nov. 21st.PARLOVR is:
Festooned Hand Mirror (Guitar, Vocals)
Tin Smoke Box (Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals)
Red Oak Frame (Drums)
A.K.A.
Louis Jackson
Alex Cooper
Jeremy MacCuish
Some hype-y and totally worthy press quotes:
"This local trio of self-professed "sloppy" rockers carve out a kind of pop art brut, a beautiful mess of raw (but never ridiculous) emotion and rough (but never unintelligible) textures, with bold, tender melodies standing tall from end to end." - Lorraine Carpenter, Montreal Mirror
"Inspired by the best of 90s shoegazer and 80s angular post-punk, Parlovr have crafted a memorable debut of indie rock tunes that cherry-picks the best elements from multiple rock genres and synthesizes them into a package that sports clear pop sensibilities." - Jordan Bimm, NOW Magazine (Toronto)
Listen to 'em here.

Masks and Beyond Human attire are not required but greatly desired!
Smut: The final frontier. A portal to virtual realities, a playground for fantastic characters, a narrative told in impossible destinies. At the border of human and other, which basic sexual elements turn you into a ticking A-bomb?
This issue, Lickety Split asks you to slip out of that mortal husk and into something more… Existential? Divine? Synthetic? Beastly? Vegetal?? We'll be waiting in the other room, mixing ourselves a cocktail and adjusting our tailfeathers and blowholes (hee).

+ ETC!
