Good sources of information on upcoming shows near me?

(1/3) > >>

Symptom:
Howdy folks! Could you lovely people recommend me good sources of tour dates and what not for decent bands in Montreal? I really like stoner, doom, indi and anything with plenty of distortion (Boris, Pelican, Godspeed come to mind at first..)

Any good online mag?
Know of decent pubs with stages that play good music?

thanks!

ImRonBurgundy?:
Is there a local weekly newspaper where you are?  Those usually have a bunch of ads for upcoming shows.  Also, if you have a last.fm account, there's a feature that finds shows near you based on what you listen to.  However, you have to listen to enough music on your computer to allow the website to track it.

IronOxide:
Last.fm is a beautiful thing. Not only does it do almost as good a job as Pandora for finding other tracks you might be into, it lets you search for local shows that match your tastes (or with some very slight change, any show in the area) as recorded by a small plug-in to your music player. It's usually pretty on top of things and does a good job of showing you what's around.

Katherine:
Oh wow, I didn't know Last.fm did that.  I must go think of a user name and sign up!

kablaaamo:
stillepost.ca is a pretty sweet forum for each major city in Canada, and its members update the listings every so often. I don't know how good it is for Montreal but it is alright for Ottawa; it fills the gaps in last.fm's knowledge (because people have to manually imput those show listings, and around here nobody really does).

Check it out?
