Montreal is heating up! With a slew of upcoming music festivals on the way we’d like to kick off the summer music festivities with our very own show at Club Lambi on June 3.

The lineup:

Nista

Our favorite bunch of Icelandic-Montrealers will be headlining the event. Get a free download of Nista’s refreshing track Water. Their zany lyrics and fun stage presence will no doubt put you in a good mood. They’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Jason Bajada and are now recording new songs for their upcoming album.

Code Pie

One of Montreal’s favorite bands, it’s true, they were 3rd in the Mirror’s 2008 Best of Montreal following Arcade Fire & United Steel Workers of Montreal. Where have they been since then? After touring in support of their last album “The Most Trusted Name in Yous” they have recently gathered in studio again to record their upcoming album due out this year tentatively titled “Love Meets Rage”. They’ve played this year’s Canadian Music Week festival and Halifax Pop Explosion opening for Holy Fuck!.

Fox Jaws

Toronto natives come to town in support of their upcoming album due out in July. These indie rockers have shared the stage with the likes of Wintersleep, Tokyo Police Club, Fleet Foxes and then some.

Void of every fad and gimmick, Fox Jaws are real people; they live, die, breathe and create just like you and I. But what they create is on the verge of brilliance, what they live are lives worth documentation, when they die it sounds amazing, when they breathe it brings the audience to life. - Exclaim

Leif Vollebekk

His soulful-folk sound can be heard on his debut album “Inland” which was recorded at Breakglass Studios (Wolf Parade, Patrick Watson, Stars). Vollebekk’s been playing many shows in and around Montreal including Pop Montreal shows and opening slots for Basia Balut. With influences such as Jeff Buckley, Gershwin, Miles Davis, Robert Johnson, Thom Yorke and Sigur Rós, you will surely find a place in your musical heart for Leif Vollebekk.

Nonna Maria

She is an old Italian puppet woman living with her grandson Dave in Montreal and has recently found fame on the wonderful world of YouTube. Nonna Maria is the brainchild of local artist Anthony Imperioli. You may have seen his widely popular Pasquale Parmigianno animations, which have had millions of plays all over the world. Nonna Maria will be at the Tweet-up meeting her fans, interviewing the bands to create her next video.

Pre-show Tweet-Up

Before the show begins there will be a Tweet-Up for all Montreal Twitter users to meet up with the bands and their Twitter friends. At this time there will be a special appearance by Anthony Imperioli’s Nonna Maria.
