POP Montreal and SOCAN in partnership with Canada Council For The Arts are producing a new showcase series which puts the spotlight on Quebec musicians performing live in Los Angeles. These exciting monthly events will introduce emerging Quebec based artists to LA based industry, eager to hear the next big things out of Canada. Magi Merlin (MADGE-eye) grew up in Saint-Lazare, Canada. A place that may sound unfamiliar to you, but rest assured it is a lot closer to home than you realize. A wet dream created by people like Nixon in the 70s, a place for white folks, by white folks. The suburbs is the epitome of “normal” unless of course you replace white with black, straight with queer, that is when normalcy is challenged. This, amongst other subjects — such as the impact of capitalism on art, nepotism, the relationship one has to taking pleasure in belonging to those things while rejecting them all, is what drives and inspires the creative universe behind Gone Girl - Merlin’ latest and most audacious effort to date. Presented by Gold-Diggers. This is a 21+ event
