Drawing from local non-profit Archive Montreal’s huge collection of local music scene material, Montreal Sound Ark brings you the best of the Montreal underground from yesterday.

Interviews, memories, insights and accompanying ephemera on the show’s blog will flesh out the journey through three decades of do-it-yourself sounds in Montreal. Hosted by longtime scenester and digger Louis Rastelli (DJ LRX80) with regular guests and guest DJs.

Every Friday 3 - 5pm (EDT)

May 12, 2023: Black Bottom Jazz

A special edition playing only bands that played in Montreal at the legendary Black Bottom nightclub in the 60s - 70s. We'll mix in some comments and anecdotes of the now-90 year old former owner of the club, Charles Burke.⁠ ⁠

Hear from Charles Burke himself at a special event at the Montreal History Festival this weekend: Saturday May 13, 13h - 17h @ Afromusée, 533 Ontario E. métro Berri. Free!
