On the walls

The week in arts: Art Matters and Edgy Women kick off, four new shows at Art Mûr, plus new exhibits by Séripop, Sylvain Lessard and Kim Waldron.

Today’s Sounds: Night Beds

Night Beds, playing tonight at Casa del Popolo, delivers an impassioned, no-nonsense slice of serene folk music, PLUS a slow sexy house track by Serbian duo Kompleks and a video by British gossip girl Chlöe Howl.

Still pissed

Digging into new records by Pissed Jeans and Oneirogen, PLUS dive-bar comedy, classic rawk covers, metal DJ nights, improv indulgence, gritty rock ‘n’ roll and countrified sounds, all in the week’s eclectic show calendar.
