Blue Hawaii from Montréal is another band featured at PopMontréal and is this week's newmusicmonday. The dreamy synthpop of Blue Hawaii may remind some of halcyon summer days, but there's a dark edge to their sound. A good intro to the band is their "Dream Electrixra". The Silly Kissers remix is on MySpace {see link above}.
