About Lee Ferguson

What’s there to say about Lee? He is a lifelong Montrealer. He loves to eat in the shower and spend time with his pet Sam the Crow. Most of all, he loves music! Rarely seen without headphones in his ears, he is constantly seeking out new artists and genres, but always falls back on his love for 90’s rock and 80’s pop. Lee has been playing drums for over 15 years in a number of Montreal rock bands and is currently drumming for the alt-rock, punk/grunge-tinged band, Urban Spells. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature from Concordia University in 2007. So while he’s read just about every Shakespeare play, he promises to never quote any of them in social situations unless, of course, there is an attempted murder of the heir to the throne, then he’ll go all Shakespeare on everybody’s ass.

Tegan and Sara – Live at Theatre Corona – October 23rd, 2019 – Montreal, QC

I was not aware they could do assigned seating at the Theatre Corona, I don’t think that they were either as I witness so many spectators fumbling through the tiniest aisles to find their seat […]

PUP with NOBRO – Live at Theatre Corona – October 22nd, 2019 – Montreal, QC

October 22, 2019 Lee Ferguson 0

PUP blew my mind last year at festival Mile Ex End. Perhaps it was because they were the only heavy band on the entire weekend bill, it may have had something to do with singer/guitarist […]

2/10 Is it too early for a Christmas reference? You know that scene in How the Grinch Stole Christmas where the Grinch loses his shit over all the fucking noise the Whos make on Christmas […]

David Banks – Until the End

September 30, 2019 Lee Ferguson 0

8.5/10 Listening to David Banks’ new record Until the End feels like listening to a mainstream radio station. It bathes deeply in the essence of 70s classic rock, like a teen dousing themselves in cologne […]
