Wayback Wednesday // Rich Aucoin @ The Seahorse Tavern – 10.06.23

June 28, 2023 Trev

I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a Murtaugh (Danny Glover's iconic Lethal Weapon role) moment when I saw the start time of Rich Aucoin’s recent stop at the Seahorse Tavern. Not to say that this show was without hype, or lacking in quality, but the older I get, the more I… Read More

Trev’s Top 10 Favourite Albums (In No Particular Order) of 2020

January 4, 2021 Trev

Sarah Harmer – Are You Gone After a decade-long hiatus, Sarah Harmer made a triumphant return to our collective hearts early on in 2020. Are You Gone is something of a companion piece to her debut album You Were Here. Her sweet, folky lilt is a welcome sound to our ears — with poppy… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Covid Continues edition….

December 8, 2020 Trev

It's been a bit since the last HAFILAX playlist, and we've finally made it to the tail end of 2020. It's not without its own surprises, like the return of Covid which has roared back in recent weeks. Due to this, we've shuttered live music venues and dialed things back substantially, but we're still bumping… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Music Unites Us All edition

October 21, 2020 Trev

Honestly, I don't recall a more exhausting year than 2020. From the ongoing struggle to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, to the battle to overcome systemic racism and inequality, it's been a year of upheaval and unrest. It would be fantastic to say that it's unnecessary, but unfortunately, that just isn't the case. People have time… Read More

Monday Afternoon Mixdown – Long Overdue Edition….

May 25, 2020 Trev

It's funny what happens when you throw a pandemic at people: some people flourish, some people flounder, while others just flutter about. For me personally, it has been a period of adjustment, as I by nature am something of an introvert. You'd never know it when I'm with my people, but with new folks I… Read More

Halifax Pop Explosion 2019 \\ Review & Photo Gallery Through Mitch’s Eyes

October 30, 2019 Mitch

With sore feet and tired eyes comes the end of Halifax Pop Explosion 2019. I would venture to say that it was physically impossible to fit more fun in a weekend. This magnificently curated lineup could have been cherry-picked right from my most-played on Spotify. The lineup was nothing short of diverse, and had top… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // Christmas Edition!

December 22, 2017 Mitch

Christmas time is here again! Here are some tunes to snuggle up with around the fire (either real or New! Birch Bark Edition on TV), have a cup of eggnog, and deck the halls with Christmas spirit(s).

The Last Waltz 40th Anniversary Show – The Marquee Ballroom – 26\11\2016

December 2, 2016 Mitch

When going through my album collection, rarely does “The Last Waltz” get pulled out for a spin. It’s almost taken for granted as a classic album and the spectacle that it was. So before the legendary evening of Saturday, November 26, 2016, I decided to give it a listen for the 500th time. I felt… Read More

TBT: HAFILAX hits up HPX 2013/2014 – Photo Gallery

October 15, 2015 Trev

Over the past couple of years, HAFILAX has had at least one official photographer at the Festival (in 2013 we were all in attendance - but only Justin had a media pass). We were all accredited in 2014 and, over the two years, we have taken in a lot of great music. We've learned our… Read More
