Drake brings it home with the OVO Fest

August 3rd, 2010

With a string of unprecedented events, from gaining respect through his mix tape So Far Gone, to getting the biggest endorsements from rappers like Kanye West, Lil’ Wayne, and Jay-Z, to signing a huge contract as a new artist with Young Money, to [...]

Drake finishes Away From Home on high

July 30th, 2010

I’d like to think of myself as somewhat professional. Usually when I attend a concert with the intent to write a review afterward I take the whole experience quite seriously. I assume it’s my responsibility to recall precise details like the set list, quotes from the artists’ banter between songs, the opening act, etc. But [...]

Lots of love for Lilith’s ladies in Toronto

July 27th, 2010

Fans have been waiting eleven years for the triumphant return of Sarah McLachlan’s brainchild, Lilith Fair.

Have you seen Aberdeen?

July 15th, 2010

You know you’re at an Aberdeen show when the audience comprises of mostly teenaged girls who know all the words. Their show at the Gibson Industry Showroom in June of 2010 for Toronto’s NXNE festival was no exception. Aberdeen shared the stage with Vancouver’s own Static In The Stars; both bands complimented each other perfectly [...]
