Canada's Music Cities: Montreal's underground music, art and party scene

Montreal has a rich musical heritage, with a scene that spans the jazz of Oscar Peterson to indie acts Arcade Fire and Grimes. DJ and travel writer Woody Anderson drops into Little Burgundy with local band Milk and Bone, takes a cycle tour round Boulevard Saint Laurent and The Mile End with local guides Spade & Palacio, and hooks up with warehouse party scene supremo Seb Cowan of Arbutus records.
