Billy Talent rock loud with their Dead Silence Tour

April 11th, 2013

Billy Talent proved last week in Toronto that their “Dead Silence” tour would be just the opposite – giving a loud, ravenous crowd an arena rock show to remember. Hits like River Below and Devil in a Midnight Mass sounded thunderous in the not-so-cozy confines of the Air Canada Centre, with the majority of fans [...]

Jay-Z and Kanye West reign over Canada on Watch The Throne tour

November 24th, 2011

If anyone can throw an arena-wide party and do it right, it’s Jay-Z and Kanye West. The highly anticipated Watch the Throne tour hit Toronto last night for the first of two shows, and to put it simply, IT WAS BONKERS. The 45-minute delay in performance was completely forgotten as soon as the show began. [...]

M83 bring their own brand of music to Toronto

November 21st, 2011

Friday night, Liz Trinnear and I had the luxury of seeing one of my all-time favorite musicians, M83, play at the legendary small, rundown, and ever so amazing Lee’s Palace in Toronto. This was actually my second time seeing them at this venue (my fifth time seeing them overall) and just their past gigs, Antony [...]

Said The Whale Bring West Coast Charm To All of Canada

September 14th, 2011

After seeing Said the Whale perform in Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary and Toronto, I can confidently say they are one of Canada’s most beloved indie-rock acts – as if a Juno for New Group of the Year didn’t already prove that. But even upon first glance, it’s clear the group radiates West Coast charm. Keyboardist Jaycelyn [...]

DUBBS Shocks The House

November 22nd, 2010

Imagine seeing an electro-group that has the talent to not only make an impact but pioneer a new trend in the electro-music industry. Not cool enough? How about having the credibility of touring alongside electro-titans like Steve Aoki and LMFAO. Still need more? Well, what if I said they’re doing all that as an unsigned [...]

The Big Pink @ Lee’s Palace

December 1st, 2009

The Big Pink duo of Robbie Furze & Milo Cordell played Lee’s Palace Sunday night in support of their debut album ‘A Brief History of Love’. Having only one album under their belt it was expected that the show would be a short one but I didn’t think that I’d leave wanting more.

White Lies Rock The Phoenix

September 28th, 2009

This White Lies show was one that I was looking forward to for some time now and when Saturday came around the show came and went in a blink of an eye. Saturday’s show was booked as an early show and was over before 9pm! With a black backdrop consisting of just their logo, the [...]
