Blue Hawaii's Guide to Montreal
Blue Hawaii's Guide to Montreal
As the cultural centre of Canada, Montréal lives and breathes creativity and passion. Filled to the brim with hopeful musicians and artists, the air is light, crisp and french-infused. Local duo, Blue Hawaii, formed of Alex “Agor” Kerby and Raphaelle “Ra” Standell, feed off this ever-flowing energy of the city into experimental, pop/electro music that often blurs the lines between genres. From stunning views on Mount Royal to days braving the cold in a record shop, these are some of their favourite spots.
