May 16, 2018 Trev

Now that the dust has settled, and we have finally carved time out to sift through our ECMA 2018 photos, we are happy to share some of the shots we grabbed in advance of the big awards show at the Scotiabank Centre. While we photogs jostled for position to snag our shots, you could clearly…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // The Beaches w/ Taylor Knox @ The Seahorse Tavern – 05.08.18

May 10, 2018 Trev

You can be sure that the streets of Halifax are still littered with a handful of ECMA zombies, who enjoyed an event-laden weekend and are still not fully recovered. Fortunately for Taylor Knox and The Beaches, very few were dissuaded by the prospect of another concert, which followed so hotly on the heels of the…Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots // The Fabulously Rich @ The Seahorse Tavern – Apr. 14, 2018

April 23, 2018 Trev

Last weekend, the Seahorse Tavern played host to PEI’s The Fabulously Rich, a band which was formed in 2016 out of a mutual love of Canada’s beloved band The Tragically Hip. (It just so happens the band draws its moniker from an early lyric from “Grace, Too”.) Now, I know the fact that I’m writing…Read More

Concert Thoughts & Shots // Wildest Dreams

March 31, 2018 Trev

It may seem counter-intuitive to cite a tribute band/act as the entry point to the music or work of an artist. This, however, is exactly how I learned to appreciate the pop stylings of Ms Taylor “Tay Tay” Swift. The first time I caught a Wildest Dreams performance was simply by sheer luck, I stuck…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Into the Night Music Festival (Mar 16 & 17)

March 23, 2018 Trev

This past weekend saw the inaugural Into the Night festival take its place on the Olympic Hall stage, and while the festival itself may not be new, it was the first year for the new branding. Some folks may remember the Groundswell Festival that took place in the same venue, but this year felt decidedly…Read More

Concert Thoughts & Shots // The Sheepdogs w/ Sam Coffey – Mar 16/18 – The Marquee

March 17, 2018 Trev

At the Marquee on Friday night, the hearty Haligoon crowd was ready for a double dose of retro-soaked rock n' roll from two relatively new Canadian acts in Sam Coffey and the Iron Lungs, and the much beloved Sheepdogs. The two Halifax dates (Friday night was the first of 2 shows) mark the end of…Read More

Happy International Women’s Day

March 8, 2018 Jeff

I hate that we have to have a day to celebrate women, but it's not because of the celebration, it's more that we should just celebrate half of the population on a daily basis! Women are incredible. They make this world go around. They also create kick ass music and we at Hafilax love kick…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Our Lady Peace, Matthew Good and Ascot Royals – Mar 5

March 7, 2018 Trev

For a show that featured two Can-Con juggernauts, and a relatively new band kicking the night off; the theme of the evening seemed to be Nostalgia. It felt a bit unusual for the fact that both Our Lady Peace and Matthew Good have recently dropped new full-length albums, and have teamed up with a cross-country…Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Col. Chris Hadfield @ The Cohn – March 1st

March 5, 2018 Trev

The opportunity to sit in a room and listen to a presentation from an actual astronaut doesn’t present itself very often, and when you get the chance to partake in such an experience, you leap at it. This was the choice that the roomful of Rebecca Cohn patrons made this past Thursday evening. Part Ted…Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots // Letterkenny Live – Feb 27 – Rebecca Cohn

March 1, 2018 Trev

On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, a little town nestled somewhere between fellow fictitious towns Dog River and Sunnyvale rolled into Halifax. The town of Letterkenny sent three of their ambassadors to the East Coast to spread their good-natured, and sometimes crass, view of the world. You may be thinking to yourself, Letterkenny? Sure, it may…Read More
