Karkwa live at Théatre du Vieux Terrebonne

Karkwa is one of Quebec's hottest bands.They have seduced audiences across the province, as well as in Europe, with their edgy style, their inspired musicianship, and the contemporary poetry of their lyrics. In 2006 the band was honoured with the Félix-Leclerc Award, and they jointly received the Félix for best singer or composer alongside music titan Pierre Lapointe.

In November 2007, the French launch of Les tremblements s’immobilisent sparked a number of tour dates on the other side of the Atlantic. The implications were plain to see: Karkwa’s star was on the rise in France as well.

In April 2008, ten years into their remarkable career, singer/guitarist Louis-Jean Cormier, drummer Stéphane Bergeron, keyboardist François Lafontaine, bassist Martin Lamontagne and percussionist/singer Julien Sagot released Le volume du vent, their landmark third album. It has garnered a ton of awards.

Canada Live caught up with Karkwa in Terrebonne, north of Montreal, as part of their recent tour across the province.

Recorded: Jan. 23, 2009 Venue: Théâtre du Vieux Terrebonne – Salle Desjardins, Montreal, QC Genres: Pop/Rock
