Show Notes // Naughty by Nature @ Casino Nova Scotia – 17.08.17

August 20, 2017 Trev

Halifax is no stranger to the nostalgia tour; loads of acts have rolled through town long past their prime, and have become something of a parody of themselves. We just had a sold-out Scotiabank Centre play host to the I Love '90s tour, which saw Freedom Williams, Colour Me Badd, All For One, Young MC,… Read More

Concert Review // Good Charlotte, Palaye Royale, Silverstein, Movements @ Casino Nova Scotia // 22.04.17

April 24, 2017 Trev

Ok, let's just preface this entire review with the fact that I know these bands are not for 40-year old me, nor are they geared toward an undergrad post-grunge gen-Xer me, but here I find myself. Good Charlotte and Silverstein existed on my periphery, but neither were a band I found myself regularly listening to,… Read More

Port Cities @ Casino Nova Scotia – April 13, 2017

April 16, 2017 Mitch

With a long weekend coming upon us, and warm weather shining down through the week, what better way to kick off Easter festivities than spending the night with East Coast darlings Port Cities. As the trio donned the stage towards the end of their long, globe-spanning tour, the near sold-out Schooner Room patrons erupted in… Read More

Concert Review :: Weird Al Took Over the Schooner Showroom (July 28th)

July 31, 2015 Jeff

The moment I set foot onto that 3rd floor of Casino Nova Scotia, I knew this night would be unlike any that preceded it. To my left you had Batman and Robin, to my right was a doppelgänger of Mr. Yankovic (the Headliner of the night), and throughout the crowd was a myriad of Hawaiian… Read More

Concert Announcements Abound…..Dora, Danko, Al, Journey and some Crows.

February 5, 2015 Trev

Wallets in the Halifax area are certainly lighter after the latest live music announcements for the next few months, a few of which have gone on sale already and promptly sold out, others of which will be on sale shortly. The great thing is that the announcements that have been made, have a little something… Read More

HPX2014 Day 4: Pushing On

November 18, 2014 Jeff

Friday night's edition of the Halifax Pop Explosion began with a bang and ended with a thud. With the first three days of the festival down, there was some brief hesitation over how I was going to proceed with Day 4. Due to a daily grind which consisted of late nights followed by early mornings, a large part… Read More

Dregs, This Ship and Willie Stratton’s Pop Extravaganza: HPX 2014

November 3, 2014 Jeff

Part of the beauty of the Halifax Pop Explosion is that you can sometimes hit a show that contains very different, distinct sounds between the bands on the bill. Some of these line-ups work and some don't. Luckily for me Friday night's show at the Harbourview room at Casino Nova Scotia was one that was… Read More
