Live Review: Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, August 29th, 2013 @ The Metro Centre

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 at Sobey’s in Sackville

August 24, 2013 Trev

Gotta love popping in to your local grocery store and being greeted with a solid cover of Blue Rodeo's "Diamond Mine". I could get used to this sort thing! Next up is Tonic's "If you could only See", passable but seriously above average. Now they're ripping into an REM cover, great accompaniment to a Saturday…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

From Zero To Bluesfest 2013

July 24, 2013 Justin

Shirley Jackson & Her Good Rockin Daddys I have to confess, before heading up to Bluesfest 2013 at Fox Mountain in Aylesford, I didn't know a whole lot about blues rock music. I did "know of" blues rock, and some artists/bands that have adopted the style, but it really hasn't (more…)Read More

Rush @ The Halifax Metro Centre – July 12th, 2013

July 17, 2013 Trev

Before I ran home and churned out a tainted review of Rush's long overdue return to the stages of Halifax, I wanted to let my experience stew a bit and really wanted to let the show sink in and I think the show has finally percolated enough to write a semi-coherent review of the show.…Read More
