Last time I saw J'envoie they were playing at The Happening at Club SAW as a quintet. They mustered four members for their Friday show with Books on Books and Spitfires and Mayflowers and played a sort of cinematic post rock; I'd put them in the same ballpark as My Dad vs Yours. The current lineup, according to their website, is Patrick Senecal on drums, Pierluc Clement on guitar, Christian Richer on guitar, keyboards and melodica, Olivier Fairfield on vibraphone, keyboards and electronics and Nathan Medema on bass. Nathan I recognize from if then do; the others are a mystery to me, so I'll just go with the pictures, which due to the aforementioned low-light conditions are horrid.
Here's Nathan for starters.
The band got a bilingual introduction from Rolf Klausener, who arranged the show and handled the sound, and this guy, who got on stage to help out with the percussion.
The crowd demanded and received an encore ... it was top notch performance.

Hey! this is Pat from j'envoie (drums). Thanks for the comments and pics.
Christian isn't in the band anymore, and the dude introducing us in french and playing percs is Mononc' Blanchette.
thanks!
