Thread Name: BS: Montreal 60's Counterculture Question
Subject: RE: BS: Montreal 60's Counterculture Question
I too used to see the Rabble at the Bonaventure Curling Club on Cote de Liesse, those Saturday summer concerts were a major venue for local bands in the 60's. Some other groups I recall are JB and The Playboys, Bartholomew plus 3, MG and The Escorts, the Monks (complete with robes), and the MCs, local DJs Dave Boxer and Dean Hagopian.

The Rabble stood out from the others with their original and creative song writing and playing. I have recently obtained the two albums they released which were recently re-released on a local Quebec label, Disques Merite. Their music still stands up, for the most part. They are talking about putting out some new stuff, another 60s resurrection. They have a MySpace page the Rabble where one can sample a few songs.
