<p><strong>MUSIC</strong></p>
<p>Many top touring acts are headlining various Montreal concert venues this month. Highlights include <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/14230/panic-at-the-disco/place-bell/01-12-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/14230/panic-at-the-disco/place-bell/01-12-2019', 'Panic! At The Disco');">Panic! At The Disco</a> (Jan. 12) with out frontman Brendon Urie, and American rapper <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/15465/a-ap-rocky/place-bell/01-13-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/15465/a-ap-rocky/place-bell/01-13-2019', 'A$AP Rocky');">A$AP Rocky</a>’s Injured Generation Tour (Jan. 13), both headlining Place Bell; and <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/18880/bryan-adams-in-concert/bell-centre/01-26-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/18880/bryan-adams-in-concert/bell-centre/01-26-2019', 'Bryan Adams');">Bryan Adams</a> (Jan. 26) performs at the Bell Centre.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/irK0Su5SE2Y?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
<p>Other top touring acts headed our way include indie pop band <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/15717/the-lemon-twigs/corona-theatre/01-12-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/15717/the-lemon-twigs/corona-theatre/01-12-2019', 'The Lemon Twigs');">The Lemon Twigs</a> at the Corona Theatre (Jan. 12), Boston alt-rockers <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/19069/guster/fairmount-theatre/01-21-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/19069/guster/fairmount-theatre/01-21-2019', 'Guster');">Guster</a> at the Fairmount Theatre (Jan. 21), as well as Texas country music singer-songwriter <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/14646/kacey-musgraves/mtelus/01-12-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/14646/kacey-musgraves/mtelus/01-12-2019', 'Kacey Musgraves');">Kacey Musgraves</a> (Jan. 12) and the much-anticipated <a href="https://evenko.ca/en/events/19258/the-sheepdogs-the-damn-truth/mtelus/01-25-2019" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https://evenko.ca/en/events/19258/the-sheepdogs-the-damn-truth/mtelus/01-25-2019', 'The Sheepdogs & The Damn Truth');">The Sheepdogs & The Damn Truth</a> tour (Jan. 25), both at MTELUS.</p>
<p>Saskatoon classic-rock band The Sheepdogs famously became the first unsigned band to make the cover of <em>Rolling Stone</em> in 2011, and Montreal’s very own The Damn Truth have been making headlines with their recently-released black-and-white music video for their song <em>Devilish Folk</em>.</p>
<p>Shot over two years by photographer Mikael Theimer (one of the creative minds behind <a href="http://portraitsdemontreal.com/" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http://portraitsdemontreal.com/', 'Portraits de/of Montréal');">Portraits de/of Montréal</a>), the video follows a group of “squeegee” kids in the streets of Montreal, including Jake Czornobaj who passed away in 2018. Pretty raw and powerful. The band also puts on a great live show.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZAJ64EYgIwM?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&start=8&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe></span></p>
<p><strong>Local shows of note:</strong> The <strong>Beth McKenna Quartet</strong> (Jan. 4) and <strong>Norman Marshall Villeneuve’s</strong> <strong>Jazz Message</strong> (Jan. 12) headline <a href="http://www.upstairsjazz.com/en/index.php" onclick="__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http://www.upstairsjazz.com/en/index.php', 'Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill');">Upstairs Jazz Bar & Grill</a> which was ranked by no less than <em>DownBeat</em> magazine as one of the top jazz nightclubs in the world. Legendary 80-year-old jazz drummer Villeneuve used to perform at iconic Montreal jazz joint Rockhead’s Paradise back in the day. Villeneuve at Upstairs should also prove to be a memorable evening.</p>

<p>The play tells the story of students who occupied the computer centre on the 9th floor of the Hall Building of Sir George Williams University (which is now Concordia University) to protest the university’s mismanagement of a racism complaint lodged by West-Indian students against their biology professor in 1969.

<p><em>Blackout</em> re-examines the events that led to the occupation and protests. Adding to the authenticity and experience, the production is being mounted during the same dates and in the same building – in the state-of-the-art D.B. Clark Theatre – where the events took place 50 years ago.</p>

Richard “Bugs” Burnett self-syndicated his national column Three Dollar Bill in over half of Canada’s alt-weeklies for 15 years, has been banned in Winnipeg, investigated by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary over charges TDB was “pornographic”, gotten death threats, outed politicians like former Parti Quebecois leader Andre Boisclair, been vilified in the pages of Jamaica’s national newspaper The Gleaner for criticizing anti-gay dancehall star Sizzla (who would go on to write the 2005 hit song “Nah Apologize” about Burnett and UK gay activist Peter Tatchell), pissed off BB King, crossed swords with Mordecai Richler, been screamed at backstage by Cyndi Lauper and got the last-ever sit-down interview with James Brown. Burnett was Editor-at-Large of HOUR until the Montreal alt-weekly folded in April 2011, is Editor-at-Large of The Charlebois Post (Canada), is a columnist and writer for both Fugues and Xtra, writes the POP TART blog for The Montreal Gazette, and is the pop culture pundit on The Barry Morgan Show every Friday from 8:30 – 9 pm on Montreal’s CJAD 800 AM Radio. Burnett was named one of Alberta-based Outlooks magazine’s Canadian Heroes of the Year in 2009, famed porn director Flash Conway dubbed Burnett “Canada’s bad boy syndicated gay columnist” and The Montreal Buzz says, “As Michael Musto is to New York City, Richard Burnett is to Montréal.”
