Friday Night Soundtrack – September 5, 2013: Frosh Week Edition

September 6, 2013 Jeff

So it appears that, once again, the summer has come and gone as quickly as it always has. Gone are the 30 degree days, the late night sunsets, and those even later nights sitting around the fire with a beer in hand. But all of that can only mean one thing....Fall is right around the… Read More

September 5, 2013 Jeff

September has rolled around once again, which means we can expect a dip in temperatures, leaves changing colours, the announcement of the Halifax Explosion lineup (I'll probably mention the HPX in each article from now until it begins...what can I say....it's a good time) and in its second year, The Road To Indie Week. Hosted… Read More

September 1, 2013 Jeff

For the past four years, the only places you could find Franz Ferninand would be on Milk Cartons and Telephone Poles. Fortunately, you can cross the four lads off of your missing persons lists because they are back! (more…) Read More

August 30, 2013 Jeff

And just like that the summer is finished. It might have taken it's time getting here, but it wasted no time in leaving. With a slew of summer shows under the belt, it's time to take aim at what lies ahead. Fall usually tends to bring some decent acts through the Maritimes and of course… Read More

August 30, 2013 Jeff

A few months ago when it was announced that Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls would be making a combined return to Halifax, 1998 me became overly excited, ran out and purchased tickets. I've had the opportunity to see both of these bands by themselves in the past (the Goos in 2011 and Matchbox… Read More

Live Review: August 16, 2013 – Lindsay Duncan, Willie Stratton, This Ship

August 19, 2013 Jeff

Before we even get to any of the music from the evening, I first need to fess up and admit that the show that I got was not the show I expected. Now don't get me wrong, the music I heard was good and if anything exceeded my expectations, after realizing where the gig was.… Read More

With All The Stars & Elements, (the band's first major EP) the Halifax foursome This Ship have created an absolute gem of an album. Whereas most acts rely heavily on distorted guitars and two-minute lead breaks, ATSAE (more…) Read More

July 29, 2013 Justin

The Smirnoff Red Door Island Party w/ The Trews, The Stanfields, Gloryhound, The Town Heroes is what I call an East Coast rock n roll party. The event starts as you pay to board the George's Island ferry (the day of the show) and once you arrive, access is provided to an ample supply of Smirnoff's… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – July 19th, 2013

July 19, 2013 Jeff

Age can be a crazy thing and as I've said before, nothing makes me feel my age like music. I can remember different times in my life based on the music that I was listening to. It's been 17 years since I first got my license (insert super old feeling here) and what better way… Read More
