Diamond Rings plays at Cabaret Juste Pour Rire on Thursday, September 30.

There is always too much to do at Pop Montreal. You can’t go to everything you want to see and wind up depressed by what you’re missing; you forgo work, relationships and other distractions in the mad race from venue to venue. Here are a few things I’m excited about. There are many, many more things to also be excited about.
