Montreal’s own Hey Gorgeous just threw a punch at the fence dividing rockers and ravers. And holy hell, does it land. The track? “Rocker on a Club Run.” The man behind the wheel? Peet Massé—a multidisciplinary artist who somehow found time to snag a master’s in the arts while cooking up this restless, late-night animal. Respect.
Massé deliberately smears the lines between distorted guitars and four-on-the-floor thump. Digital meets analogue. Sweaty mosh pit meets laser-lit dance floor. The guy’s caught between two loves he sees as culturally opposed: alt-rock grit and house music glide. So what does he do? He writes the “party song” of the upcoming album International Breakthroughs (out June 22, mark your calendar) and turns his own confusion into a damn groove.
The track rides a tense, jittery energy—like you’ve been up for 24 hours chasing something you can’t name. And that’s exactly the point. The video, shot during summer 2025 in Montreal, follows a fictional Massé on a bender through bars, dance floors, and art galleries. La Casa Del Popolo, Le Système, and lUQAM’s CDEx gallery all show up as the backdrop for his messy search: can he reconcile these two worlds inside his own skull? Can he find peace without picking a side?
Spoiler: The struggle is the song. And it rips.
Massé isn’t fronting a band of hired guns—this is his baby, his vision, his late-night odyssey. But he pulls in a whole creative community for the video: friends, collaborators, a cast of extras from Montreal’s art scene. That’s rock ‘n’ roll, baby—lone wolf energy with a village behind it.
The album International Breakthroughs is all about leaving home, eating uncertainty for breakfast, and chasing connection beyond the fences you grew up with. “Rocker on a Club Run” is the sweaty, beautiful mess at the centre of that trip. Play this one next time you’re torn between a guitar riff and a kick drum. Or just play it when you can’t decide who the hell you are anymore.
