The most valuable things I took from Montreal were a desire to learn French, and a CD by Bent by Elephants. When Vic and I stumbled upon their CD release party at Divan Orange, we were blown away by their talent. Their set was short, and I wished they would play it over. And over. And over.

This orchestral/folk/pop band is relatively unknown outside their native city and I hope they build a large enough following to warrant many shows in NY in the future. Guys, this band is REALLY good. Please sample their incredible sound. Their CD is on iTunes and all that good stuff.
