Lady On The Internet, By Booster Fawn

 Lady On The Internet - Booster Fawn Single Review


The Band

Lady On the Internet's Cover


A blend of Billy Joel, and Ali Farka Touré.,   A touch of modernism with lyrics that couldn’t be more accurate for many introverts, especially coming out of COVID . Where all the girls seemed so pretty and attractive on the Giants of the Internet. 


Booster Fawn’s “Lady On The Internet” starts off with this lead guitar tainted of world music scales, reminding me of the oriental folklore string instruments. I remembered my times back when I was just a young drugster tripping on the songs of Ali Farka Touré, especially “Soukora '' coming from the album Talking Tumbutu for those curious to dig in. Once the voice takes the wheel, Joshua's tone and the melody that carries on couldn’t help but remind me of the allures of Billy Joel’s hit “Piano Man,” fetching back my tastes for a last call before the bar closes, looking at the lady from afar, looking real good. Their wink at pop music while still being quite tainted of indie could only mean that they will surely please the youngsters avid of new indie, chill vibe, poppy beats. Alex Gaudio, the drummer on the record, has a jazzy tainted sound which only contributes to the mellow feeling I’ve had listening to the song, while endlessly scrolling watching all the pretty ladies of the internet. To sum it all, the lyrics are the perfect fit for the style. A man who shares his mundane moments with a said lady on the internet. Recalling moments of their childhood, parties and casualties they both appear to have in common. The whole thing rolls towards the end on a Dylanesque vibe kind of acoustic guitar. The man behind the mixing desk, Jeremy Tremblay, can sleep on both his ears knowing every note that guides us in and out a man’s weird internet fantasies are well defined and mellow to the ears. A small stutter came to me as the song finished;no Killeresque keys were laid on the track. and One can’t help but think what could’ve been the result… a Brandon Flower ballad? Nonetheless, this track is a well deserved Indie coloured recipe, nodding at many old taints of classics and yet laid down with surprising modernism and brilliance.


The band members are Joshua Séguin the singer, Elie Madison at the bass, Eric Desjardins playing oriental melodies on the guitar, and Alex Gaudio on the drums in the studio. If you wish to watch  them live, you will perhaps see them with Harry Callahan taking the drum mantle. You can catch them on September 14th at the Diving Bell Social Club/Club Social Le Scaphandre, launching their promising album titled Dreams Made of Snowflakes. Now, if you please, I have to go and write to the girl I met on the Internet.

False Hopes, Birds of Prrrey, can it get any better ?

A new single for Birds Of Prrrey, titled False Hopes. The Band from left to right, Grace, Clarence and Noelle. False Hope, their new Single. Birds of Prrrey, a local trio from Montreal have released a single in July on the major streaming platforms and to sum it up, False Hope is a close reminder of Courtney Love, simply with a touch of gentleness and somehow less budget. But let’s not lie, of course three girls starting a band, won’t come up with a record as refined as what Hole and Courtney would release knowing they had millions in budget to spend and producers and studio engineers that had their names echoing through whole decades. Yet the key lies in the similarity they have, the fact that their style and energy resembles Hole and they're quite a bold trio to say the least. They have a couple live out there on the internet elaborating on their prowess with Grace on the bass slinging over with a bow, Noelle singing while sitting behind the drums and of course Clarence simply b...

Mindfuzz more like Mind games

  Mindfuzz , a project that started out from a melting pots of projects seeing the daylight around October 2022, was a band heavily influenced by the 80's and 90's heavier rock and grunge, alternative tendencies! Listening to their songs Butane, Request and Phlegm, there was a will to bring back groovy laced rock spirited music on the scene. Shows were deemed quite the action packed sets and always a thrill to be part of. While their story might have been troublesome, their music was great, their contribution to the local music scene was by no means gibberish. By the end of the group's lifespan, rumours had it tensions had infested the nest, a leader more like a knicker who'd knick all the control and other stories haunted the bands attic, things escalated quickly leading to accusations and public statements surrounding them, the police had it's nose snuffed in, and soon they were no more. The greatest bands either adapt and become mainstream, or die fast after pavi...

August 31th, Downstairs at La Sottorena or whatever it's called! War Doves, Evergreen and The Snatchers

On Saturday August 31th, I'd finally decided to plunge back in the scene and dab my hands at those rockers and mockers trying to take the spolight and maybe get a deal, feel the breeze of the amps and everyone out of stage enjoying their time forgetting their lousy lives. Up at la Sala Rossa was Bad Objection , Drive By , Excess , Street Justice , Scaramanga , and Skull Gate . Downstairs in the same building was War Doves, Evergreen, and The Snatchers. Lets go downstairs for now, where youth is stiff, and waiting for action. It's dark, loud, noises are issued and I can't understand so I jump in and am greeted by folks of The Snatchers , Evergreen and many more friendly faces. Since seeing both shows, money was thight and so I buy tickets and my friend Jonathan buys the beer just like any young school going kid trying to wash out problems and hardships at shows many nights a week. So by the time I've got the beer in hand Matteo from Evergreen comes out of nowhere and as...
