how crowds in Montreal are amongst the best in the world. It's as though the show god held three straws of varying sizes behind his back, Toronto pulled the stand-motionless-and-look-pensive small one; Vancouver got the sway-and-effuse-ad-nauseum medium one; and Montreal drew the know-when-to-scream, when-to-nod, when-to-jump, when- to-declare-love, when-to-spill-drinks, best-crowds-in-the-country, big-ass one. As a concert theatre, this joint showcases Montreal's show-going supremacy, with solid sightlines, screens, and sound. Look for disparate beat, speak, strum, and tattoo acts, as well as blip and home DJ nights. Oh, and if it weren't for the pole, you'd be wearing a roof hat, so stop complaining and move a little to your left. Hyphen, anyone?
