Louis Rastelli’s Distroboto project is celebrating its 7th anniversary on Friday, Jan. 25, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. at Salla Rossa, 4848 St-Laurent.
It is a benefit show for the non-profit project which involves former cigarette machines selling local art, music, books, comics, short films and crafts for $2.00 in various cafés and bars around Montreal. (See www.distroboto.archivemontreal.org for more info. There are also articles about the event in the Montreal Mirror here and here.)
The show costs $10 at the door and will feature performances by Think About Life, Exhaust, Gambletron, Giselle Numba One, and Random Recipe.

Another review of A Fine Ending just came out, this time in the Montreal Mirror. You can read it by clicking here.
“A Fine Ending is at its best when life is at its worst. When Rastelli is fully engaged in the numb nihilism of the time, and giving detailed descriptions of the consequences of that life, the novel cooks.”
