The Tea Party @ The Marquee Ballroom – 21.03.19

March 24, 2019 Trev

It has been close to 30 years since Can-con giants The Tea Party started roaming the vast plains of Canada; in that time the band has released 7 studio albums, survived an abrupt break-up, and recently unleashed their first single in 5 years. During the band’s dissolution, front-man Jeff Martin released music under his own… Read More

Shots and Thoughts // Foreigner @ Scotiabank Centre – 17.03.19

March 19, 2019 Trev

Back in October came the announcement that Foreigner’s Cold As Ice tour was slated to bring the well-known act east to the Maritimes. The original tour announcement included a trio of dates - Halifax, Moncton, and Charlottetown - but as the mid-March dates neared, the decision was made to pull the plug on PEI. When… Read More

Rain Over St. Ambrose Return With “Dedication”

March 15, 2019 Jeff

Here's a little piece of information that I'm sure will completely fool you as much as it did me. It's been over three years since Yarmouth rockers, Rain Over St. Ambrose, last graced our playlists with new music. After patiently waiting, they have returned once again with their latest single, "Dedication." Recorded at New Scotland… Read More

Shots & Thoughts // Int’l Women’s Day w/ Ria Mae & The Sorority

March 14, 2019 Trev

This past Friday night, the city was abuzz in celebration of International Women’s Day. There were no fewer than 4 events taking place around the city: Garrison was celebrating the launch of their all-female-developed brew Susannah with a performance from Like a Motorcycle; the Seahorse was hosting Hillsburn, Kim Harris and SAMM; upstairs in the… Read More

The Halifax Jazz Festival and Upstream Music Present Michael Formanek

March 5, 2019 Jeff

The Halifax Jazz Festival has been quietly growing into one of the premier musical events, that the East Coast has to offer. Thanks to a tireless effort from all individuals involved and a fanbase as solid as any other, the festival is able to churn out workshops and events throughout the course of the year,… Read More

Late Monday Mixdown // Mailbag or Bust….

March 5, 2019 Trev

Hello HAFILAXers, Sorry for the short hiatus, Work/Life balance has been a bit hectic, and thus the site was neglected for a moment. We've been off taking care of business, but not once did we stop listening/discussing music. We have a few choice cuts straight from the mailbag, but we'd also love it if you… Read More

Shots & Thoughts // Blue Rodeo w/The Skydiggers @ The Scotiabank Centre – 02.08.19

February 11, 2019 Trev

There aren't many bands or musical acts that can put together a career than spans a decade, let alone more than 3. The potent union of two of Canada's most beloved songwriters, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, started out prior to Blue Rodeo, but in 1984 the fabled folk-rock band was formed alongside Bazil Donovan… Read More

Flashback Friday (Show Shots and Thoughts) // The Hypochondriacs w/ Matt Steele & Driftwood People @ The Seahorse

January 26, 2019 Trev

In my experience, the best nights are the nights when you power through the urge to settle in at home and let go of that fear of missing out. Especially when you are heading out to catch some live music (even if there is an air of foreboding looming). This was the case on Friday… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // New Year, Who Dis? Edition…

January 11, 2019 Trev

I think we can all agree that 2018 is better off in our rear-view mirrors, as we drive off to the unexplored horizons of 2019. As our livers are drying out in Dryuary, we've finally regained our senses, and have started with a few pieces of ear candy that we thought we'd share. Let's get… Read More

Trev’s Best Albums of 2018

January 1, 2019 Trev

It's hard to believe that we've just wrapped another trek around the sun. 2018 has come and gone, and for the most part, I think we can collectively agree that we're better off having that year in our rear view. There was some great music, some good music and some music that is certainly fit… Read More
