We had the event mentioned on here, Rave.ca, Rave Montreal, in the Mirror's listings, in the Nightlife Magazine's newsletter and there was a feature on him in the Feb. issue as well. I hammered Facebook like crazy too, as well as my 500 persons mailing list (mostly clubbers).
Since the club didn't help us with promo + I invested all I have in the advance & flight costs, we couldn't print flyers, and I don't believe in them anyway - if you don't check out resources like websites & listings, you're unlikely to find a flyer, i.e. you probably have no interest in the music scene at all. Flyers are obsolete.
We lost so much money on this one that I doubt we'll continue to promote events. After Mossa, Dalessandro & Water Lilly in March, it's over for me anyway. Montrealers just don't give a fuck anymore. If they wanna go to Boys Noize gigs six times a year for the rest of your life, fine, because I'm done booking interesting & original artists.
On that note, I want to thank the few who showed up, we had a blast !
