Everything is bigger in Texas, and M for Montreal is going big at South By Southwest! Accompanied by twelve of the hottest acts from the city, M for Montreal will be travelling to Austin in March for the 8th year in a row with a massive showcase, part of the Planet Québec festivities at SX 2014.
On Thursday March 13, M will take over both floors at Maggie Mae’s, the famed venue right in the heart of the all the action on E 6th Street. Two stages will showcase Quebec Francophone and Anglophone artists at the cutting edge of their respective genres: the upstairs stage featuring electronic music and hip hop and their exciting permutations for the future, and downstairs stage presenting grimy rock and pop that define the moment.
All artists on the bill hail from Montreal, and include rock stalwarts Sam Roberts Band, Kanye West collaborator Lunice, trap heartthrob Tommy Kruise, dark R’n’B breakout Black Atlass, punk ambassadors Solids, Franco rap supergroup Alaclair Ensemble, vocal powerhouseFoxtrott, pop heartbreaker Sean Nicholas Savage, and many more.
The party starts at 6:30PM with M’s infamous annual free Poutine Party featuring none other than Kaytranada! RSVP here for the Poutine Party.
