Osheaga Podcast 2023 (Unofficial) – Friday, Part 2

Sure it snowed last week but that doesn’t mean that summer isn’t around the corner, does it? And one of the best parts of summer in Montreal is Osheaga weekend. That means it’s time for another Osheaga podcast!

To get ourselves (and you!) hyped up for one of our favorite weekends of the year Sarah and I do what we do every year: listen to the whole dang lineup and make an impossible to follow schedule for all 3 days by falling in love with a dozen artists each day! This episode we take a look once again at Friday’s lineup and choose some of our favorite non-headline acts:

Our picks:

This year’s Friday lineup has to be one of our favorites since limiting ourselves to “just” 10 bands was actually pretty difficult. Some artists who we love on Friday include: Two Feet, Rina Sawayama, bbno$ and Kora. Suffice it to say we’re probably getting to the festival pretty early on Friday.

Anyhow, June is right around the corner so that means that we’re about to dive into Saturday’s lineup. See you in two weeks!

Go Plug Yourself Vintage: Men I Trust (August 10, 2017)

by on August 4, 2022 at 7:52 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast

It’s been a busy few weeks. Between Just For Laughs, Osheaga, a wedding and a 2000 mile road trip we kinda, sorta, maybe didn’t get around to booking anything for this week’s Go Plug Yourself.

We had hoped to hook something up with an Osheaga band but it just wasn’t in the cards this year.

So instead we take a trip down memory lane to Osheaga 2017 when Scott and I sat down with Emma and Dragos from Men I Trust who were kind enough to join us at the back of Grumpy’s the Monday after the 2017 edition of Osheaga. At the time they had only released their self-titled album and Headroom and it really felt like they were on the verge of exploding. That feeling proved to be 100% accurate as they would go on to perform at Coachella and Lollapalooza in the leadup to the release of Oncle Jazz.  Oncle Jazz became one of the most anticipated and well received albums of 2019 and Untourable Album was a wonderful release during the pandemic.

It was cool to see them setting up their own gear at this year’s Osheaga. One of the things we talk about in this episode is how much the “DIY” ethic permeates the band and 5 years later it was a joy to see them maintain that hands on approach.

Anyhow, sit back and relax and enjoy our chat with Men I Trust.

Osheaga Podcast 2022 (Unofficial) – The Comedown

by on August 2, 2022 at 9:18 pm
Posted In: Homepage, Montreal, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

Wait… Osheaga is over already?

After months of getting hype it’s hard to accept that this Osheaga weekend is already in the past.

Honestly I think Sarah and I may have set a personal best this year having checked out all or some of at least 29 different acts. We’ve spent the last 2 days trying to let our bodies and brains recover and now we’re ready to break down our thoughts on the first Osheaga since 2019.

We talk about acts that met expectations, exceeded expectations and a few little disappointments (BIA?). We’ve got a few stories to share (like bumping into Sad Night Dynamite and finding out Josh has a crush on Dua Lipa… but who doesn’t?) so if you’re looking to relive Osheaga 2022 with us do yourself a favour and check out this episode.

We also spend a little bit of time doing some fantasy booking for the 2023 edition – look, I’m just saying that Björk has an album coming out pretty soon…

We would obviously love to hear your favorite stories about the festival, so drop us a line on on Instagram, Twitter, or wherever. Oh, and if you enjoy our little show we would love for you to subscribe on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts or just about anywhere else you get your podcasts. And if you’re feeling extra generous drop us a rating or review. We <3 U.

Nick Farkas Talks Osheaga (Go Plug Yourself)

by on June 28, 2022 at 10:46 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Homepage, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Podcast, Podcasting

Nick Farkas joins Sarah and I to talk all about the 2022 edition of the Osheaga Arts & Music Festival.

So, Sarah and I have been doing our Osheaga podcast series for a few years now and like to think of ourselves as “vets” of the Osheaga festival. Imagine our surprise when we found out that Nick Farkas, the founder of Osheaga, was interested in coming on the show to talk to us about the festival we both love so much.

Nick gets into the depths of booking the festival. From where artists land on the poster (and the drama it can cause) to the importance of making sure artists have really good food backstage. We talk about some favorite performances from the past, and reveal some of our “can’t miss” acts of this year’s festival (and it’s not even clickbait to say that some of Nick’s picks might genuinely surprise you). Sarah and I  both think Osheaga is a really special part of a Montreal summer and it was fun to talk with one of the key figures who makes it all possible each year.

At the end of the episode I say that I could easily talk for hours about music with someone like Nick and I mean it, the man plays a big part of keeping Montreal a great music city.
