No Hay Banda is a Montreal-based non-profit organization dedicated to the production, performance and promotion of avant-garde music events. As part of a series of concerts in Montréal and touring productions, No Hay Banda provides a space for artists to realize their projects and aims to broaden and challenge the audience’s musical experience by showcasing the work of the intergenerational avant-garde that has its roots in pop/rock, DIY culture and post-war experimentation. It was founded in 2016 by three Montréal-based musicians: Daniel Áñez, Noam Bierstone and Geneviève Liboiron.
