I should have learned from the Stevie Wonder debacle that Grand événements are Grand pains. Forgetting that I was never a big fan of “Rock Lobster,” I wandered down to the Quartier des Spectacles and was reminded why the city needs to continue to support small venues and stop obsessing over noise abatement. After all, the defining musical moment of the year, for me, was hearing ATCR’s absolutely enormous remix of “Red Skin Girl” at le Belmont as part of the excellent Poirier-curated Karnival series. At that moment, it was more than clear to me that ATCR aren’t the next big thing—they ARE a big thing.
