Montreuil has long been rock-indie-popular-artistic-cultural!

A violent intervention, however, it wasn’t a political demonstration, or a protest rally, or even a rave party.

Only from concerts organized by Montreuillois without any danger to our residents.

Concerts in a public space bring together about fifty maybe 80 people and that actually animates our neighborhood and brings bars and other local businesses to life. As usual in Montreal.

At a distance of 20 meters, a concert in the bar around the corner, however, pleases us with a sound that will also create a “disruption” of noise and crowd.

Why is “nuisance” tolerated there?

Conclusion: confiscation of equipment, assault with gas, injuries, and all this although the city of Montreuil is proud to welcome many artists, intermittent workers, even though the city calls itself “little Brooklin”.

Over the past 30 years many concerts have made this city a city like no other.

More than 700 international groups have come here.

Many businesses took advantage of it, many musicians came to settle down, amateurs, young and old, families, made Montreuil shine.

Rock City culture, independent, DIY can’t hurt for some.

This is even what has more for newcomers.

So the open door of the artist’s studio will be held in absolute silence? I doubt.

Remember in Montreuil that the first “open door artist studio” was born in the Montreuillois squat of the 90s.
