In the cold they sit and in the cold they wait. Montreal’s homeless never have it easy as the city streets they live on are notorious for having brutal winters, with temperatures well below zero. For that reason, year after year, Montreal’s music community comes together to help keep warm. Blankfest Quebec is proud to announce its annual return for its 4th year in support of one of Canada’s oldest and largest homeless shelters, the Old Brewery Mission.

Every year Blankfest Quebec aids in raising awareness and clothing for Montreal’s homeless and over the last few years has raised nearly 2,000 winter clothing items for Montreal’s homeless.

“It is a great initiative. With the cold weather here, our clients at the Mission will truly appreciate it.” commented Matthew Pearce, President and CEO at the Old Brewery Mission.

This year’s 4th annual Blankfest Quebec will be hosted at Frite Alors (680 Ste-Catherine Ouest) on Saturday, February 18th with support from Montreal’s The Era Of… (featuring vocalist Matt McGachy of Cryptopsy, 3 Mile Scream & members of A Texas Funeral), punk rabble rousers Society’s Ills, jazz rock virtuosos RudeBeats and electronic progressive rockers Isolate Cast.

“People forget that after the holidays Montreal’s homeless are still in need and on the streets in below zero temperatures, risking frostbite and death due to exposure. The least we can do is keep them safe and warm and help the Old Brewery Mission by raising winter clothing for them.“. commented Blankfest Quebec organizer Jon Asher

About: Blankfest Quebec is organized by Jon Asher, in collaboration with the Old Brewery Mission, and was launched after Jon read about his friend, New York City indie rock veteran Kenn Rowell of The Baghdaddios, who founded Blankfest in 1997 and has been organizing the annual blanket fundraiser in New York City for the past 15 years.

In the past, Rowell says, Blankfest NYC has raised more than 6,000 total donations that have been distributed to the homeless in the New York City area and has inspired similar efforts in New Jersey, Manhattan and Nottingham, UK. Among the many distinguished artists who have performed at past international Blank-Fests are: Rothberg (EMI), Buddy Cage (Grateful Dead), Marc Rizzo (Soulfly) and Meg Griffin (Sirius Radio).

Feb 18 – Toronto – THE MATADORS w/ Maximum RNR + Rehab for Quitters

Blacktooth Entertainment, in collaboration with Toronto Rockabilly, present a night of good ol’ fashioned punk rock and all-around good times, bringing together The Matadors, Maximum RnR and Rehab for Quitters on February 18 at The Hard Luck Bar (812 Dundas Street West, Toronto, ON).

As creators of the horrorbilly genre, The Matadors have been wreaking havoc across Canada since the mid-90s, delivering a live show they describe is “like being in a funhouse that has been set on fire” and who could complain about that?

“Since this is our last year on earth, we urge everyone to bring a helmet to the shows of 2012 due to the fact that each venue will be left in a bloody mess once we blow your fucking minds. It’s considerations like these that make The Matadors the consummate professionals we are… It warms my heart that I have the capacity to be so charitable and magnanimous to allow these bands to pay tribute to The Matadors. Perhaps I will give them all pats on the head when they are kissing my ring right before they sweep up after the show.” – The Great Hooch

Joining the Kings of Horrobilly will be punk rockers Maximum RnR who have no less than two albums and over 300 tour dates behind them, as well as Rehab For Quitters, a band synonymous with, as they put it, “beer swigging good times and good ol’ fashioned rock ‘n’ roll debauchery.”
