Concert Recap // Vance Joy @ The Rebecca Cohn // 07 Feb 2016

February 9, 2016 Trev

The Rebecca Cohn Auditorium is a room that has played host to a myriad of singer-songwriters over the years; the sound is robust and warm, and plays to the strengths of the artist. It’s a place where I have been fortunate enough to see acts such as Hayden, Sarah McLachlan, Joel Plaskett, Blue Rodeo, Rich… Read More

Saving The Carleton Music Bar & Grill

February 1, 2016 Jeff

Picture a coin; on one side of the coin we have representation for the artist and on the other side, the venue. Just like every great combination these two seem to be inseparable, and if split, will cry out through the darkness for one another. It's near impossible to find yourself out in a sociable… Read More

TBT Concert Review: Matthew Good @ The Marquee – Dec 9th, 2015

December 17, 2015 Trev

Amongst my friends and peers, Matthew Good is easily one of (if not the) the most polarizing musicians performing today. The opinions are from a direct result of having met Matt prior to a show years ago (before he was diagnosed as being bi-polar), and they are unwilling to re-consider these views. On the other hand, Good is one of those artists that draws a loyal… Read More

Concert Review: Hey Rosetta! – Nov. 27th @ The Rebecca Cohn

November 30, 2015 Jeff

Hey Rosetta's performance on Friday night was one which not only put a stamp on what has been a successful 10 year run but also one of their more successful tours to date. Lined with backdrops of gold curtains, a beautifully laid out in-house lighting system and countless lightbulbs spread across the entirety of the… Read More

Concert Review: Glorious Sons – Nov 21 @ The Marquee Ballroom

November 26, 2015 Trev

The Marquee is one of those venues founded on a sweaty, writhing mass of flesh, intoxicated by the music being performed on stage. I’ve been through those Marque doors on multiple occasions and very few of those visits have elicited the gritty visceral experience I had on Saturday night with the Glorious Sons. When you… Read More

Concert Review: Quiet Parade @ The Seahorse on Nov. 20/2015

November 24, 2015 Trev

One of my favourite Simpsons quotes comes from the episode where the family wins a trip to Africa after eating an excessively stale box of Animal Crackers, but toward the end of the episode where Homer and Bart share an exchange after a chimpanzee approaches them: “Hey, maybe he’ll lead us to bananas”, and Homer… Read More

Concert Review: Halestorm and Three Days Grace – Nov. 9th – Halifax Forum Multipurpose Room

November 11, 2015 Trev

When the Halestorm and Three Days Grace pairing was announced, I was intrigued by the buzz that was swirling around the opening act. Prior to the announcement, I was completely unfamiliar with the band or its music, so I was curious to see what had people so stoked. Could it have been a case where… Read More
