Concert Review & Photos – 2015 TD Halifax Jazz Festival (Day 2) :: Moon Hooch / tUnE-yArDs

July 16, 2015 Trev

Walking onto the concert grounds at the main stage on Day 2 of the 2015 Halifax Jazz Festival (Thursday July 9th), I knew I was going in blind. I was interested in hearing tUnE-yArDs live, as the studio work didn't resonate with me. My only knowledge of Moon Hooch was the YouTube video of their…Read More

TD Halifax Jazz Festival Day 1 – Brian Blade Concert Review

July 12, 2015 Jeff

It's been two decades since Brian Blade last touched down in Nova Scotia and in that time he has drummed, sung, strummed, produced and/or written so many albums that we need not even speak of his lengthy discography. It is that tireless work ethic that sets a musician such as Brian apart from all of those who lack a…Read More

CONCERT REVIEW / GALLERY: Canada Day at Alderney Landing – Party Boots, Glorious Sons and The Arkells

July 11, 2015 Trev

When word came that The Arkells were going to headline the Canada Day show at Alderney Landing, I was ecstatic as I had missed out on their short-notice sold-out stint at the Seahorse and then their Dalhousie Show which also sold out rather quickly. The organizers were going to have to try hard to get…Read More

Concert Review – Red Bull Tour Bus x Dine Alone Records 10th Anniversary

July 7, 2015 Trev

It was a great night in Halifax on Canada Day Eve. It was one of those perfect waterfront days; the sun was beaming, the breeze was low and there was an impending concert about to take place. Initially the show was announced as Stewart Burton, a special guest and headlining act Tokyo Police Club, but…Read More

North by North East (NXNE) kicked off last night in Toronto. For those of you who don't know, NXNE is pretty much a five day music festival featuring artists from a wide range of musical genres, coming from all over the world.

Concert Review: East Coast Rockabilly Riot

May 14, 2015 Jeff

Before we dig into the review from Saturday night's East Coast Rockabilly Riot, I have to declare that rockabilly is a genre I have very little experience with. I knew songs such as "Stray Cat Strut", "Rock Around The Clock" and "Blue Suede Shoes" would fit the bill, but found myself mildly stumped when I heard that…Read More

Concert Review :: Danko Jones w/ Like a Motorcycle @ The Marquee Club (May 2/2015)

May 4, 2015 Trev

The question of the night for the people in attendance of the double bill of Like a Motorcycle and Danko Jones was undoubtedly "Do You Wanna Rock?". For those answering no, then the Marquee was absolutely the wrong place to be on Saturday Night. Like A Motorcycle has been honing their craft as they prep…Read More

TBT Concert Review – Bryan Adams @ Scotiabank Centre – Feb. 18, 2015

April 30, 2015 Jeff

February is one of those months that most people choose to forget. People are still feeling the pinch from the Christmas holidays; it's dark when you wake for the day and dark when you get home from work; the temperature is usually close to the coldest of the year and to top it all off…Read More

East Coast Music Week 2015 – St. John’s, Newfoundland Recap & Favorites

April 14, 2015 Justin

A few months before the announcement of the line-up for the festival, I was a little worried about what such a small, out of the way city like St. John's could attract to it, in terms of our East Coast talent and festival goers. But as the list of performers began to surface, it became…Read More

Concert Review: The Tragically Hip @ The Scotiabank Centre – Apr. 11/2015

April 12, 2015 Trev

It never ceases to amaze me the levels of inebriation people will attempt to reach when attending a Tragically Hip show, I honestly lost track of the number of people who unsteadily stumbled up and down the steep incline of the lower bowl stairs. Not only did we have a prime location for watching these…Read More
