Show Thoughts & Shots // Sommo Day 1: Rich Aucoin (the Final Parachute show) // 13.09.25

November 7, 2025 Trev

Admittedly, I was late to the Rich Aucoin party. Those early shows didn't click, and as much as I wanted to be on board, it didn't connect with me. Until one night at The Seahorse in early 2023, when it all clicked and I was awash in synth, streamers and sweat. It was (and remains)… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Sommo Festival D1 @ Cavendish Beach Events Centre // 13.09.25

October 16, 2025 Trev

In 2024, HAFILAX made the trek over the Confederation Bridge en route to Cavendish to attend the sophomore edition of Sommo Festival. Last year, we were a team of one, with your friendly neighbourhood concert photographer also handling writing duties. For that trek, my oldest tagged along, and she… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Rich Aucoin @ Shore Club // 29.08.25

September 11, 2025 Trev

Overtime, Extra Innings, or Encores, it is all just borrowed time until a conclusion is reached, and that is where we find ourselves with Rich Aucoin's "Parachute Era", at its end. Its demise was well advertised late in 2024, when it was slated to be packed up for one last time, and never to be… Read More

Show Thoughts & Shots // Rich Aucoin @ 2037 Gottingen // 19.10.24

November 26, 2024 Trev

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why those days spent in the grade school gym when the parachute was unfurled are etched indelibly on my soul, but they are. It was one-day last week, while picking up my son from school, that those memories came rushing back… Read More

Show Shots // Rich Aucoin @ The Shore Club – 23.08.24

September 21, 2024 Trev

Time is a funny thing. It's hard to believe it's been a month since Rich Aucoin played his 2024 Shore Club show, but here we are almost a month later and those sweaty, exhilarating memories are still bouncing around, with thoughts of next month's show at the Marquee. Back on the 23rd, I may have… Read More

Wayback Wednesday // Rich Aucoin @ The Seahorse Tavern – 10.06.23

June 28, 2023 Trev

I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a Murtaugh (Danny Glover's iconic Lethal Weapon role) moment when I saw the start time of Rich Aucoin’s recent stop at the Seahorse Tavern. Not to say that this show was without hype, or lacking in quality, but the older I get, the more I… Read More

Trev’s Top 10 Favourite Albums (In No Particular Order) of 2020

January 4, 2021 Trev

Sarah Harmer – Are You Gone After a decade-long hiatus, Sarah Harmer made a triumphant return to our collective hearts early on in 2020. Are You Gone is something of a companion piece to her debut album You Were Here. Her sweet, folky lilt is a welcome sound to our ears — with poppy… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Covid Continues edition….

December 8, 2020 Trev

It's been a bit since the last HAFILAX playlist, and we've finally made it to the tail end of 2020. It's not without its own surprises, like the return of Covid which has roared back in recent weeks. Due to this, we've shuttered live music venues and dialed things back substantially, but we're still bumping… Read More

Midweek Mixdown // Music Unites Us All edition

October 21, 2020 Trev

Honestly, I don't recall a more exhausting year than 2020. From the ongoing struggle to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, to the battle to overcome systemic racism and inequality, it's been a year of upheaval and unrest. It would be fantastic to say that it's unnecessary, but unfortunately, that just isn't the case. People have time… Read More

Monday Afternoon Mixdown – Long Overdue Edition….

May 25, 2020 Trev

It's funny what happens when you throw a pandemic at people: some people flourish, some people flounder, while others just flutter about. For me personally, it has been a period of adjustment, as I by nature am something of an introvert. You'd never know it when I'm with my people, but with new folks I… Read More
