Plants and Animals

Plants and Animals began in the early ’00s as a weird improvisational band and quickly evolved into one of the era’s Montreal music scene renaissance flag bearers, headlining all over the world and opening for big acts and getting nominated for prestigious awards on the wings of five full-length records and a live show reputed for its ferocity and grace.

At some point a few years back it all just kind of stopped—though all three members have carried on, most notably via ongoing projects like Bibi Club and Unessential Oils. Well they’re rising again, and with them, the legendary Divan Orange, the music venue where they, like so many bands of the era, cut their teeth. The grand old lady that ran its course and is now a friperie but is going to be the legendary Divan Orange again with the legendary Plants and Animals playing in it, are you kidding, sign me up.
