January 5, 2008 - A Swift Kick in the New Year
Well, so far we Montrealers have had to deal with a very cold, very warm, very snowy, very rainy and now very windy winter. What's next is a mystery... But in the face of these wild fluctuations, we at the Free Kick strive for consistency in always providing the free-est & kickingest musical experience for y'all every other Saturday night.

Last weekend's Free Kick show, for example, saw us roaring back from the holidays with two hours of non-stop musical oomph, including tracks from:

Boogie Down Productions, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Sly & the Family Stone, Patrizia & Jimmy, Lee Dorsey, Ike & Tina Turner, Ike Turner (RIP) and the Kings of Rhythm with Tommy Hodge, Muddy Waters, Lydia Mendoza (pictured above - RIP), Moondog, Medeski Martin & Wood, Cordel do Fogo Encantado, Hermeto Paschoal, Música Dispersa, Tom Waits feat. William Burroughs, Tuomari Nurmio & Alamaailman Vasarat, Pascal Comelade, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Ross Johnson, Henry Flynt & Nova'Billy, Sir Richard Bishop, Mike Osborne Trio, Gong, The Residents, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, John Bender, Suicide, National Bird, The Ex, and Basil Kirchin!
