Guest Fest

For the previous few years, Hillside has invited Pop Montreal (a 5-day grassroots music/film/art fest spread through Montreal in the fall, in addition to many other things) to showcase a few of the bands they are proud of. This has been a highly successful collaboration that have brought such acts as Miracle Fortress, Think About Life and Plants and Animals, in the past (amongst others). This year they've maintained the quality level by including:

Clues who I know are worth checking out (ex-Unicorns, ex-Arcade Fire members), as well as

Witchies who are bound to be good while playing 'melodramatic pop music'.

It seems in a similar fashion they've teamed up with the popular Guelph Jazz Festival as well and they will be presenting:
The Tallboys
