Summer Wrap: Summer’s hottest music festivals

August 22nd, 2012

In the summertime, why catch a band play in a boring regular venue when you can go to a giant outdoor festival, catch some rays, chug back a few refreshing drinks and watch them rock your non-existent socks off on a big festival stage? The past few months have seen its fair share of rockin’ [...]

VFest Toronto: Day 2

September 1st, 2009

I guess if you could sum up day 2, it would go down as the day that was too freezing to be August. And also again: where was the crowd? And also also: kind of an improvement over day 1. Wellll, here’s the thing. Move Grizzly Bear and Franz Ferdinand to day 2, and we’ve [...]

Halifax Rockfest

August 10th, 2009

There are lots of great ways to spend a long weekend Sunday in Halifax, but on August 3rd, hitting Rockfest on Citadell Hill was the perfect decision.

Festival of Fear? Concerns About Summer Concerts

July 20th, 2009

So now, I’m trying to learn-up about what I should expect/avoid at a festival, since I’ve never been to one before (oh Glastonbury and Reading/Leeds Festival(s), why are you so far away?). And [...]
