A Night With Bloody Diamonds

October 17, 2013 Jeff

At what point would a band say to themselves that they've made it? How many albums would they have to sell, or how much money would they need to make? If you are at the point in a career where you're living in a small apartment, just getting by but playing 200 gigs a year… Read More

Live Review: Michaels Bar & Grill, Oct. 4th, 2013

October 5, 2013 Jeff

Another night of live music in the books and another review filled with both good and not so great (There was really nothing bad about the show....just a few not so great moments). I arrived late and missed out on seeing Dave Fultz. I've only heard good things about his past performances and from what… Read More

The Lucy Grays, When Pluto Was a Planet [EP], Prehistoric Records

September 28, 2013 Trev

This Halifax based six-piece outfit is currently on something of a hiatus, as they are off gallivanting across this wonderful country of ours and are slated to make their return in 2014 with their full length debut album. There are members of the band who are currently working away in the studio laying down tracks… Read More

The Avett Brothers – Harvest Jazz & Blues Fest

September 26, 2013 Jeff

By the time I found out that The Avett Brothers were playing at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival last year in Fredericton, too much time had passed and I had missed out on the opportunity to pick up a ticket. Beaten down with the knowledge that 2000 people were… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – September 20th, 2013

September 20, 2013 Jeff

WOW....so the summer is over and were rolling head first into the fall season. When you take a minute to really think about it, it's pretty wild how quickly we go through the seasons here in the Maritimes. Anyway, enough of that. This weeks post has nothing to do with the Maritimes or the weather.… Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – September 5, 2013: Frosh Week Edition

September 6, 2013 Jeff

So it appears that, once again, the summer has come and gone as quickly as it always has. Gone are the 30 degree days, the late night sunsets, and those even later nights sitting around the fire with a beer in hand. But all of that can only mean one thing....Fall is right around the… Read More

The Road To Indie Week: Week 1

September 5, 2013 Jeff

September has rolled around once again, which means we can expect a dip in temperatures, leaves changing colours, the announcement of the Halifax Explosion lineup (I'll probably mention the HPX in each article from now until it begins...what can I say....it's a good time) and in its second year, The Road To Indie Week. Hosted… Read More

Album Review – Franz Ferdinand: Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Actions

September 1, 2013 Jeff

For the past four years, the only places you could find Franz Ferninand would be on Milk Cartons and Telephone Poles. Fortunately, you can cross the four lads off of your missing persons lists because they are back! (more…) Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – August 30th, 2013

August 30, 2013 Jeff

And just like that the summer is finished. It might have taken it's time getting here, but it wasted no time in leaving. With a slew of summer shows under the belt, it's time to take aim at what lies ahead. Fall usually tends to bring some decent acts through the Maritimes and of course… Read More

Live Review: Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, August 29th, 2013 @ The Metro Centre

August 30, 2013 Jeff

A few months ago when it was announced that Matchbox Twenty and the Goo Goo Dolls would be making a combined return to Halifax, 1998 me became overly excited, ran out and purchased tickets. I've had the opportunity to see both of these bands by themselves in the past (the Goos in 2011 and Matchbox… Read More
