This week we're doing something a little different. Dave and Bill talked to Mikey B Rishwain, who has been programming the M for Montreal Festival and industry conference for nearly two decades. BrooklynVegan first went to M in 2008 and we've been collaborating ever since, co-presenting showcases and day parties at SXSW, CMJ, M for Montreal and more. M for Montreal celebrated its 20th anniversary last November and BrooklynVegan had a showcase to kick off the festival. It was at another M showcase that caused the most buzz, however, and that's one of the reasons we wanted to talk to Mikey on the show. We're talking about a certain French-Canadian polka-dotted math-rock duo, Angine de Poitrine, who may have flooded your Instagram and other social feeds. We get into that, and also talk about Montreal bands who should've been bigger, Canadian hockey, Heated Rivalry and Wolf Parade, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein
