Witness legendary super groups in the making as seven mystery bands pump out fourteen new songs for your listening pleasure! Yes, back by popular demand, Pop Montreal’s Rock Lottery returns for another year of rock n’ roll roulette. Here’s how it works: a bunch of musical people get mixed and matched randomly to make one of seven new bands. Each band gets a week to write, learn and then perform two songs at this Friday’s showcase at Il Motore. If last year’s results are any indication, expect hilarity, unbridled creativity and unpredictably awesome tunes.

Friday, August 13th. Starts 8pm. Il Motore – 179 St Talon West.
