Shots and Thoughts // Foreigner @ Scotiabank Centre – 17.03.19

March 19, 2019 Trev

Back in October came the announcement that Foreigner’s Cold As Ice tour was slated to bring the well-known act east to the Maritimes. The original tour announcement included a trio of dates - Halifax, Moncton, and Charlottetown - but as the mid-March dates neared, the decision was made to pull the plug on PEI. When… Read More

TBT // Show Thoughts & Shots // Postdata @ The Seahorse – 31.05.18

June 7, 2018 Trev

When is Wintersleep, not Wintersleep? I don’t know if it’s possible, or even fair to try and have the discussion in an attempt to find the line of demarcation between the two acts. At the heart of both acts is front-man Paul Murphy’s unmistakable delivery, and at his side is longtime collaborator Tim D’Eon, but… Read More

Show Thoughts and Shots // Feist @ The Rebecca Cohn // 25.05.18

May 26, 2018 Trev

As the laundry list of Divas and Pop Stars such as the Britneys and Christinas will attest, it's not difficult to break onto the scene and carve out a niche for yourself. The challenge then becomes, in a crowded scene, how do you elevate your sound to reach that rarefied air to walk alongside singer-songwriters… Read More

TBT Show Notes // Hollerado w/ RoSA and Hello Delaware // The Seahorse – 14.09.17

September 21, 2017 Trev

Earlier this year, Ottawa’s own Hollerado dropped their third full-length album, Born Yesterday, and recently hit the road in support of it. That road eventually led them to the Seahorse Tavern, where they were scheduled to showcase their catalogue of poppy alt-rock tunes. But for a city that gets a bad rap for supporting live… Read More

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

TBT // Concert Review // Fake Shark @ The Seahorse // 17.06.17

June 29, 2017 Trev

It’s hard to believe that it has been almost 2 weeks since Vancouver indie-pop band Fake Shark graced the Seahorse Tavern stages. It was the last stop on their cross-Canada trek, and what better room could you choose to wrap a tour? On the same bill were local favourites Dub Kartel and Party Boots, but… Read More

Concert Review // Backlot Bash 2017 @ The Cunard Centre

June 24, 2017 Trev

Last weekend was the unofficial kick-off to Summer in Halifax, as Garrison Brewing threw their 3rd annual Backlot Bash. With a less than stellar forecast, the normally outdoor show was shifted across the street to the Cunard Centre concert hall. The shift in venue proved to be a boon for the event, as the crowd… 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 w/ Photos // Billy Talent @ Scotiabank Centre // 06.03.17

March 9, 2017 Trev

Monday is that day of the week that most people dread, and see as the start of the workweek, and the end of their carefree weekend. I concur that for the most part, Mondays could be served well by having some great PR thrown their way. It’s also not a night that is commonly associated with sweaty,… Read More

Craig Cardiff – The Carleton – 01.10.2016

October 6, 2016 Mitch

While the party animals from Friday night were licking their wounds on a Saturday afternoon, some had the pleasure of an intimate acoustic show from the Ontario-based singer-songwriter Craig Cardiff. A rare all-ages show took place at the Carleton, that had a mixed crowd featuring a number of parents exposing their kids to a storyteller. Cardiff… Read More
