Montreal Scene: Immigration

Gemayel Dept: These are all ingredients worth considering as we look toward another year of creativity on the local music scene, with many bands now fully qualifying as "veteran," some new-ish blood, and the enduring question: Where do they all keep coming from?, according to Montreal Gazette. "It's hard to say, man. It's a new word that came up in the last four years, that people have a name for Montreal and we supposedly have a scene." He continued on the subject of Arcade Fire "a lot of them moved here" before his closing statement that "here" is "the last place in North America that has cheap rents." We come from the land of the ice and snow -most of us. Some do not. And some come from even snowier, icier lands. Well, it cropped up in a chat with Chromeo's Patrick Gemayel, who was asked about the "Montreal scene." As reported in the news.
