Celebrating Acadian Day

August 15, 2018 Jeff

By Chantal Caissie Ask any Acadian pal and they'll let you know that the Quinzou (or, y'know, 15 août if you want to get all formal about it) is one of the most fun celebrations in the summer. You've got tasty food, noisemakers galore during the raucous tintamarre, and incredible music. As a kid, and… 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

Wildest Dreams – A Tribute to Taylor Swift at The Seahorse

March 18, 2018 Jeff

At the end of the day, no matter what you might think, Taylor Swift is arguably the most well known pop artist in the world.

Friday Night Soundtrack // Where did 2016 go? 8-Track edition

December 2, 2016 Trev

It's hard to believe that we've rounded the bend and are now in the final stretch of 2016.

Trev’s Top Ten Albums of 2015

December 18, 2015 Trev

2015 was a year that passed in a flash. It had its ups and downs, but it also found HAFILAX out in the photo pit more than in previous years, and we were still listening to vast amounts of music. Some of which we hunted down, and some that we discovered on our travels, or in… 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

HPX Day 3: One of Those Days…

November 7, 2015 Trev

We've all had those days where the only shade is blue, and you are mired in a funk you just can't shake. Thursday and I just weren't going to be friends on this occasion; it was a day that seemed to have me square in its sights, and there wasn't any way to shake it. Needless… Read More

October 30, 2015 Trev

Last week was slightly hectic as Jeff and I were out and about at the 2015 Halifax Pop Explosion, so we tried to see as much as we could. It was a great week of fantastic music, and I know we both walked away having some surprises, some disappointments and at least one favorite show. During… Read More
