December 31, 2024 Trev

Earlier this month, long before Jolly Saint Nick made his rounds, Jamie Fontaine packed them in at The Carleton to celebrate the release of his eponymous EP.

October 16, 2023 Trev

There was no shortage of options for the concert-goer on this October 13th (a Friday no less) in Halifax, with the Doobie Brothers playing less than a stone's throw away at the Scotiabank Centre. Down the hill, the Light House Arts Centre featured a potent folky singer-songwriter bill with… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack // The ‘Can we turn it down a little?’ Edition

September 11, 2020 Trev

In looking back at what used to comprise my high school soundtrack, and what I currently gravitate towards, I have to chuckle, as I completely understand when my mother asked if we could turn down "those screeching guitars". I also know that as the elder-statesman of the HAFILAX crew, I am the one with a… Read More

February 18, 2017 Trev

Here we are, past the halfway point of February already, hard to believe eh? I don't know about you, but I'm fucking exhausted after this past week's trifecta of storm systems and the bucket of snow they left behind. If any of us were wondering what it would be like to live on Hoth, I… Read More

Concert Review // Matt Andersen w/ Donovan Woods // 15.04.16

April 19, 2016 Trev

Outside the sleet was falling, making for a fairly typical damp April evening in Halifax. The pre-game of automobile musical chairs was growing more challenging by the minute, spots dwindling as folks made their way into the Rebecca Cohn for the impending show. Needless to say, a fair number of attendees were fairly damp and… Read More
