What a Mess ! Records is a friendly D.I.Y record label based out of Montreal, Canada that we started in 2005 with the only purpose of releasing music we love made by people we love. And nothing has really changed since.
When we’re not working on our next release or putting together a tour, we spend our time cooking, riding our bikes and going to a lot of cool shows.
We usually press 500 copies of each release. A quarter of the records go straight to the band.

"Flood" is an experimental narrative journey. It begins on the water, on a fleet of hand crafted boats, pieced together from scrap and found materials. On water time twists and bends in mysterious ways. Some people aboard the rafts can't remember a time before the water. Others are lost in their memories of a previous life on the land. Some remember the boats starting out as a summer project among friends. Others remember fleeing their homes. Still others remember that the way of living they used to know was no longer working, and that something had to give. As the flotilla creeps down the river, the past, present and futures stories of the boats and their inhabitants becomes clearer and more elusive.
The primary cast of "Flood" is comprised of the bands Dark Dark Dark and Fall Harbor. The musicians/actors will be performing in the film in addition to composing the score. There will be two final versions : one which will be a stand-alone feature length film screened theatrically and at festivals, and another which will tour galleries, performance and community spaces in the spring 2010 with the musicians/actors featured in the film providing a live musical score during screenings.
Salut Cyril! How's it going? My friend didn't book that show after all. Thanks for asking. I'm very busy this Summer with recording. I will be playing at a friend's store on St. Laurent, but we have yet to choose a date. How are all these shows going for you? Have a sweeeeet Sunday! xoxoJordi

On a joué avec eux à paris, peu de temps avant de jouer avec Dark Dark Dark et Scotia me parlait, apprenant celà, d'un Cyril à Toulouse qui leur avait fait découvrir ces derniers juste après nous avoir rencontré. Enfin voilà, blablabla, c'était amusant de recevoir ta demande, d'autant plus que je viens encore d'entendre parler de toi (en bien) par les Kawaii.
