I obviously like going to see bands play live. I feel it is a fair trade for my money. I’ll gladly shell out dollars to watch a band work. I often take on to a band and then surf to see when they’ll be playing in Toronto. More importantly - where they will be playing […]

Clapton is certainly one of the all-time greats on guitar and he […]

We got a few shots at The Verve concert at the Ricoh last week. While some are typical concert shots, this is from the ‘whoa trippy’ collection.

Decemberists front man Colin Meloy played a solo acoustic performance at the Phoenix last night. The stage consisted of Meloy, 4 acoustic guitars, a glass of wine and a bottle of wine. Simple and honest. Meloy is an extremely talented and intelligent singer songwriter and with the recent buzzing success of the […]

Working away today listening to CBC Radio 3 and caught their live feed from SXSW.

It’s always fun watching bands creep into stardom. Bell X1 have been making music for years. Their latest (and third) album Flock was just released in North America and is quickly getting passed around with praise.
