Hi, I'll be visiting Montreal and Quebec City soon. I'm having a tough time finding clubs, bars, etc which cater to "raunchy, wild rock'n'roll, old and new... garage, psych, punk, surf, rockabilly, soul, R&B, and lo-fi, primitive trash."

Anyone know of such places or a website/blog?

The only listings I'm finding are for jazz (which is good) and dance/ hip hop.

Thanks!

Thanks Dave & Astral, nice leads to check out. Much appreciated.

I should have responded to this earlier but:

Beatnick (on St. Denis) has a good selection of 60's garage vinyl.

Sonik (corner of Duluth and Berri) is also great for punk and other stuff.

L'Esco and Rockette (on St. Denis near Metro Mont-Royal) are great bars. L'Esco is more of a live music venue but has some punk/garage DJ nights. Rockette is DJs but there is something good almost every night.

Check out Primitive Records and Le Pickup Records...lots of garagerock and cool stuff at both stores last time i was in Montreal (2 summers ago).

*bump*

One last try. Anything out there?

Scott,

  Did you have any luck finding any good spots on your trip? I may be visiting Montreal myself in a month or so.
