In this episode 2 of season 8 of the comusik Podcast, we present NO HAY BANDA:
NO HAY BANDA is a non-profit organization based in Montreal, Canada, dedicated to the production, performance and promotion of musical events based on exploratory and avant-garde practices. We organize a series of annual concerts at the Sala Rossa, in Montreal, with the purpose of offering a space for artists working in the established genre fringe to realize projects that would not otherwise appear. Presented with the support of Suoni Per Il Popolo, NO HAY BANDA’s programs aim to broaden and challenge the musical experience of the public, accentuating the work of a young avant-garde that takes its graces from pop/rock, DIY culture and post-war experimentation.
We promote the music of a generation that sees no barriers between musical genres, theater, performing arts and contemporary culture. We conceive the concert space not as a museum whose purpose is the reproduction of historical works, but as a gallery, offering a space with potential to be exploited, modified, transformed to serve the presentation of new and stimulating artistic products.
In addition to programming a wide variety of Canadian and international artists, NO BAND works in close collaboration with a core group of Montreal musicians associated with the organization. The works can then go on tour and be performed by this group outside of Montreal, in order to promote and contribute to the reciprocal exchange that is so important for artistic communities.
NO HAY BANDA was founded in 2016 by three Montreal musicians: Daniel Añez, Noam Bierstone and Geneviève Liboiron. Concerts usually happen on Monday nights at La Sala Rossa (4848 St-Laurent), a magnificent hall located in a historic building in Montreal. In 2020 we have created a record label, NO DISCOS, to bring our musical productions to recording.
