Montreal, Canada
Although I have cousins who live in French colony New Caledonia and other cousins who live in Quebec, Canada I can't and will probably never speak a word of French. So I guess it's a little unusual that one of my favourite bands is, indeed, completely french speaking. Malajube, hailing from the Canadian Mecca of music, Montreal.
For a good year and a bit, they've caused quite an impact on the blogosphere, but unfortunately this more than often won't translate into making it on radio, yet alone Australian radio. Well I was delighted to hear on Triple J yesterday a familiar favourite french-speaking band. Being a little excited, I wanted something to write about this momentous occasion... then I came across this video of 'Montreal -40C'. A little gem that makes you so warm on a cold Autumn day. This would have to be my favourite video of 2007 so far.
