What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published June 2, 2006 at 10:15 a.m.

If you're like us, you're kicking yourself for not checking out Montreal's We Are Wolves last night at the Cactus Club.

The band's debut disc, "Non-Stop Je Te Plie En Deux," on Fat Possum Records, sounds like a danceable rock band's tape run through an old synthesizer set on "stun."

Electronic beats mix with a live drummer, there are hints of '80s new wave and '90s Prodigy hues. Then there are numbers like the eerie instrumental "Namaï-Taïla-Cambodge (Go-Tabla-Go)," which defy comparison.

The pictures in the booklet showing the band on stage suggest that the band needs to be seen live to really be appreciated. And how they bring this mix of live and electronic together onstage would be something to see.

Of course, if you saw We Are Wolves with IfIHadaHiFi last night in Bay View, then you already know. Tell us what you saw using the talkback feature below.
