HPX Day 3: One of Those Days…

November 7, 2015 Trev

We've all had those days where the only shade is blue, and you are mired in a funk you just can't shake. Thursday and I just weren't going to be friends on this occasion; it was a day that seemed to have me square in its sights, and there wasn't any way to shake it. Needless…Read More

HPX 2015 – Day 2 :: Planning? We Don’t Need No Planning

November 5, 2015 Trev

With Day 1 in the books, camera battery charged up and ear plugs in tow, it was time to hit the town running for the second night of the Pop Explosion. This year was a bit different from the past two, as I didn't really have a set plan for the first couple of nights…Read More

A Pop Explosion Run Down

November 3, 2015 Jeff

Heading into this year's Pop Explosion I wasn't really sure what to expect from a musical perspective. Headliner Travi$ Scott wasn't someone that I had any interest in checking out, while The Dillinger Escape Plan, Cancer Bats and Cloud Nothings weren't that far behind. Stars I had seen a year ago in their home town…Read More

HPX Day 1: Rolling the Dice

October 29, 2015 Trev

My first Pop Explosion in 2013 kicked off with a solid night of comedy and headliner Brian Poshen, so I opted to try my hand at the Eat Pray Lol show without being overly familiar with the lineup. From there we would see where the breeze would carry me. I rolled into the the Company…Read More

Concert Review: Kodaline w/ Good Old War @ The Cohn – Sept. 23/2015

September 25, 2015 Trev

When I arrived to the Cohn, the first thing I noticed was the fact that I probably should have brought my walker with me. I quickly felt every bit of my 38+ years. The crowd was flowing and it was primarily female, most of whom appeared to be in the freshman class of 2015. Sure, there was the odd…Read More
