Montalban
Montalban is a new project consisting of Jon Asencio, Jackie Gallant and Marc Montanchez. All three members are deeply woven into the fabric of Montreal’s independent music milieu. They started playing together in December 2025, finding joy in improvisation that gradually framed their distinctive style. Jon’s deep pocket bass-guitar , Jackie’s powerful and intricate drumming and Marc’s angular and restless guitar hooks clicked naturally from the start. The result is a surprising blend of hyperkinetic melodies folded into rhythms and grooves with elements of Latin, funk, country and punk rock that signals its singular sound: Montalban.
