I'd stay away from Sona, unless the idea of waiting outside in the cold,
while bouncers let in only locals and hot girls is appealing to you. Oh
yeah, and a $25 cover once you get in.. I don't think the music is anything
special either - from what I heard it was mostly trance. When I went to
Montreal earlier this summer for the July long weekend, I was pretty
disappointed at the lack of parties going on. Or at least no one seemed to
know of any. I did, however, happen upon a small lounge type bar called "A
Go Go's" or something like that, after I heard someone playing Bob James -
Take Me To Mardi Gras, while I was passing on the street. Sadly, that was
the only place I found playing good music, and as I said it was more of a
lounge, so there was no where to get your boogie on.. But that's not to say
that there aren't any good clubs in Montreal, it's just that I didn't find
any while I was there (and believe me, I asked _everyone_ - this mailing
list, local DJ's, people at the record stores, etc).

While I found the parties a disappointment, there were more than a few good
record stores:
Primitive
3828 St. Denis
514-845-6017
Disques BeatNick Records
3770 Rue St. Denis
514-842-0664
Le Pick Up
4383 St. Denis
514-287-9484
Disquivel
1587 St-Laurent blvd. (Near Maisonneuve)
514-842-1607
Primitive and Beatnick had the largest and best selections I found.. But
check them all out, I'm sure you'll find a few goodies to be had. Good
luck, and hopefully you can find some good parties going on.
