Concert Review :: Danko Jones w/ Like a Motorcycle @ The Marquee Club (May 2/2015)

May 4, 2015 Trev

The question of the night for the people in attendance of the double bill of Like a Motorcycle and Danko Jones was undoubtedly "Do You Wanna Rock?". For those answering no, then the Marquee was absolutely the wrong place to be on Saturday Night. Like A Motorcycle has been honing their craft as they prep… Read More

TBT Concert Review – Bryan Adams @ Scotiabank Centre – Feb. 18, 2015

April 30, 2015 Jeff

February is one of those months that most people choose to forget. People are still feeling the pinch from the Christmas holidays; it's dark when you wake for the day and dark when you get home from work; the temperature is usually close to the coldest of the year and to top it all off… Read More

April 4, 2015 Jeff

With the 2015 ECMA award show right around the corner (April 8th - 12th), it seemed like a good idea to go ahead and predict who we feel that this year's winners will be. It should be noted that there is no science behind how we came up with our picks, nor do we have any… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – Feb. 27th, 2015

February 27, 2015 Jeff

I've spent the past few months completing some major renovations to my home, and during that stretch have had the pleasure of listening to some super, fantastic music. None of what will follow is either new or local, but there is no denying that the following five songs are musical gems. (more…) Read More

Concert Review :: Craig Cardiff @ The Company House (7pm Set)

February 8, 2015 Trev

While he may call Arnprior, Ontario home, The Company House feels like it may well indeed be Cardiff's home away from home. His interactions with fans (and a certain blogger) feel downright hospitable, as if he had invited his audience directly into his living room; and for all intents and purposes, he essentially accomplished this, thanks to… 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

Songwriters Circle – Dec. 18th 2014 @ Casino Nova Scotia

December 21, 2014 Jeff

Now in its ninth year, local singer/songwriter Bruce Guthro's annual songwriters circle has become a well oiled machine. Four musicians sit in the middle of a room, across from one another as if they were each sitting in the corner of a square facing the opposite side, and proceed to drink wine, laugh and joke… Read More

The ‘Best Of’ Season is Upon Us!

December 8, 2014 Trev

In addition to the Christmas/Holiday season, it also marks the season of countdowns and best of lists. It’s a time for those voracious media-consumption types (like the 3 HAFILAXers) to sit and reflect on the shows, albums, movies and/or books that were consumed over the past year. For this trio of HAFILAX Music Geeks, 2014 saw… Read More
