M is for Montreal video from SXSW

These guys put on great Saturday day party at Galaxy Room. The idea was to have a bunch of Montreal bands playing on alternating stages for 20 minutes each. You can take in a lot of bands when there's almost no wait time and sets are short.

Ever since I was a kid going to punk shows in BC, I preferred rock sets that were 20-25 minutes long. Concise sets leave a crowd wanting more.

Think About Life were energetic even though it was cold and early in the afternoon.

Later, Canadian funnyman/journalist/musician Nardwuar took the stage to introduce Quebec metal legends Voivod!

Voivod unleashed the metal beast!
