On September 21, 1991, Nirvana played Les Foufounes Electriques in Montreal to about 150 people, three nights before Nevermind dropped. Inside the setlist and the night.
Two venues, two provinces, four decades of Canadian rock, Les Foufounes Électriques against The Horseshoe Tavern. Who carries more weight, who bled more, and why El Mocambo plays a different game.
From a 150-cap punk room on Sainte-Catherine to a sweltering hockey arena in Verdun, this is the live-music memory of a city that has always punched above its weight.
