Concert Review: Sloan @ The Marquee Ballroom – March 7th, 2015

March 9, 2015 Trev

March 7th marked the return to Halifax for hometown lads Chris Murphy, Patrick Pentland, Jay Ferguson, Andrew Scott and the 5th Beatle Gregory McDonald. McDonald may not share the vocal duties of the other four members, but he has been behind the keyboards since 2006's Never Hear the End of It tour. The band hasn't graced a…Read More

Mother Mother w/ USS @ The Halifax Forum MPC – Nov 10 / 2014

November 12, 2014 Trev

When I hit the Forum MPC (Multi-Purpose Centre) to check out USS & Mother Mother, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. It had been years since my first encounter with Mother Mother, when they were opening for Matthew Good at the Cunard Center. I knew that their sound had evolved a great deal in that time,…Read More

HPX2014 Day 3: Music Trumps Comedy Pt. 2

November 7, 2014 Trev

So when we last spoke, Badbadnotgood had wrapped their set without any special guests and played a wholly enjoyable show. Then the moment was upon us where we would be treated to a pair of performances from two emcees from the vaunted Wu-Tang Clan. Now, if everything went according to plan, I'd see the entirety…Read More

Mounties @ Reflections Cabaret, Oct 25th, 2014 – Halifax Pop Explosion

October 28, 2014 Justin

One of my favorite bands to see at Halifax Pop Explosion had to have been Canada's new & hot super-group rock band, Mounties. Trevor, Jeff & I (the HAFILAX crew) had previously seen them at the free show, at the Olympic Community Hall earlier that day. I was pretty impressed by their first performance as…Read More

Petra Glynt @ Reflections Cabaret, Oct 21st, 2014 – Halifax Pop Explosion

October 27, 2014 Justin

Hey peeps, with Halifax Pop Explosion outta the way, I just thought I'd give you my thoughts on one of the best shows I've seen at this year's festival. Petra Glynt was an artist that I suspected would be at least entertaining to see, but couldn't imagine the performance that she'd later put on at…Read More

Vogue Dots @ Reflections Cabaret, Oct 21st, 2014 – Halifax Pop Explosion

October 22, 2014 Justin

What an amazing way to kick off the festival with Vogue Dots playing at the newly relocated Reflection Cabaret. It didn't take long for the venue to fill up as fans of the band, and even passersby that heard their sound off the street, came to see this band play. They played a really good…Read More

Maritime Metal & Hard Rock Festival 2014 Review & Photos

September 15, 2014 Justin

As a casual concert goer, who's been hitting up shows around 2 or 3 times a month for the past 15 years or so, I don't get overly excited about seeing live music anymore. Sure I might get excited over the latest band to hit the internet, that I think is the next big thing…Read More

August 8, 2014 Justin

Opening for the Dropkick Murphys @ the Cunard Centre was Moncton's punk/hard rock pioneers, The Motorleague. I had the opportunity to catch them at the East Coast Music & Big Red Festival, both in Prince Edward Island. Always a pleasure to see them on the card, as they always put in a 110% at every…Read More

August 6, 2014 Justin

Dropkick Murphys were in town last night, and here's some photos I took during the show. This event was hosted by Sonic Concerts, who bring in a lot of popular talent into the east coast, and also promote east coast bands. There's quite a bit of shows coming up by the promotion that will be…Read More

August 3, 2014 Justin

Here's some photos from last night show at Alderney Landing, with Rich Aucoin. Probably one of the most fun shows I've been to all summer, this is the kind of show you need to re-energize you, after days of hot sun and humidity in Halifax. Props to the Natal Day Festival Committee for putting together…Read More
