Monthly Photo Roundup - March 2017

Monthly Photo Roundup for the March 2017

It wasn't the busiest of month's here in Vancouver, with everyone heading out on tour, down to NXNE, or over for the Juno Awards, but we did get some pretty awesome shows (many of which landed on the same night, much to our chagrin, but we made it work).

Mozart's Sister returned to Vancouver for a show at the Cobalt, a double decker night saw Christine at the Fox Cabaret for Sam Weber/Shred Kelly and Jessica at the Biltmore for Alexandria Maillot/Lisa LeBlanc (read Kirk's review HERE). Mid-month we had a great mix at the Vogue with zZz, Destroyer (solo set) and Black Mountain (again, Kirk's review), and rounded it all out with Jeremy Allingham performing a set for charity at the Biltmore.

Weekly Photo Roundup - February 08, 2017 ft. Frank Turner, Arkells, Holy Hum, Louise Burns

Weekly Photo Roundup for the week preceding February 8, 2017

It's the return of the End of Winter/Spring Concert Season! I know it's not spring yet (clearly if you look outside right now), but February and March sees a time where lots of Canadian bands are doing the voyage across the country.

To prove my fact, Arkells returned to Vancouver last week, one day to the year that they were performing in 2016 at the Commodore. This time they were at the Dougie at UBC and brought along Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls. Check out Kirk's full recap by clicking here & see the photos above.

Also this week, Louise Burns had her album (Young Mopes) release show at the Lido, with guest Holy Hum. The Lido was packed (with a lineup outside in the blustery winter weather) and the music was excellent - get your hands on Louise's new album by clicking here.

Weekly Photo Roundup - November 30, 2016 ft. Adam Baldwin, July Talk, Van Damsel, Brasstronaut

Weekly Photo Roundup for the (two) week(s) preceding November 23, 2016

It was quite the week! We said both goodbye to Van Damsel, and welcome back to Brasstronaut. July Talk visited us from Toronto, and Adam Baldwin from the East Coast. And that wasn't even all the shows, but it was the ones I had the energy to attend (sorry Paper Lions/HIGHS - but check out Kirk's review).

Speaking of reviews you can read Kirk's coverage of the July Talk show by clicking here, and Brasstronaut by clicking here.

This will be my last normal update for 2016 (though Jess might pop by), as (as of this posting) I'm on a plane on my way to Paris. I'll be covering the Trans Musicales festival again, so hopefully I'll get a gallery of that on here. Also, I'll be making up for missing HIGHS by seeing them in Paris! So stay tuned.

Weekly Photo Roundup - November 23, 2016 ft. Rykka, Dune Rats, Daughters, Her, Hannah Epperson

Weekly Photo Roundup for the (two) week(s) preceding November 23, 2016

I missed last week's roundup because I was away in Seattle shooting a show (Her) that you can see in the gallery above. I saw Her at the Trans Musicales festival last year in France, and they were only going as far as Seattle so I made the trek.

Also last week I shot for Exclaim and somehow managed to go to the Biltmore instead of the Cobalt, so I just ended up shooting both the Dune Rats, as well as Daughters.

Rykka made her return to Vancouver and put on a hell of a trampoline show, and Hannah Epperson finally came home to a pack, and remarkably silent, crowd at the Fox.

Also this week was the Spice Girls vs Backstreet Boys concert - I didn't include photos because you can see a gallery here, along with Kirk's recap of the show.

Weekly Photo Roundup - November 9, 2016 ft. JPNSGRLS, Louise Burns, The Darcys, Hannah Georgas, The Matinee, The Sheepdogs

Weekly Photo Roundup for the week preceding November 9, 2016

November has been crazy busy so far with shows and there are even more coming up!

Last week saw two free (win-your-way-in) shows at the Roxy, featuring JPNSGRLS on a Day Of The Dead party, and The Matinee, and The Sheepdogs playing to a completely packed house.

I also sincerely hope you managed to get to the Commodore to see Hannah Georgas perform again. With The Darcys, and Louise Burns opening up, it was an overwhelmingly awesome show. - Read Kirk's review of it here - I agree with all of it, and would like to add the Hannah Georgas definitely made me cry (at least once) that night.
