BILLY THE KID with COLIN RINK at the Railway Club
7 February 2010 :: Lauren Eldridge :: Concerts :: 4 Comments
Photography by Leigh Eldridge Colin Rink has "that Bob Dylan, I-don't-give-a-f*ck style," says Padma. There is definitely an Irish twang to his Bob Dylanity, and I like his vibe. The songs begin to bleed together, because the only think Colin is lacking is variety. He played an energetic set, an

DO MAKE SAY THINK at the Biltmore Cabaret
6 February 2010 :: Lauren Eldridge :: Concerts :: 3 Comments
Since the DJ madness of Glory Days finds its home in the underbelly of the Biltmore Cabaret on Saturday nights, all concerts must end at 11pm so that the audience can be shepherded out of the venue to make room for a new group of fans. I arrived at the Do Make Say Think show around 9.30pm, catching

RAISED BY APES with CAMBRIDGE, SLUSH and IMPEDERS OF PROGRESS at Pat’s Pub
29 January 2010 :: Joseph Sloan :: Concerts :: No Comments
A wonderful night of punk rock began with Impeders of Progress (listen on MySpace), who rocked everyone's ass. If you're new to playing shows, you should check out this band for pointers on how to be the first band on stage. IOP played a fast set with great energy, and they were direct and to the

Henry and the Nightcrawlers opened the evening, sharing the stage with some local musicians who are part of the community: Zach (The Zolas) on bass, Tom (The Zolas) on piano, and Spencer (Said The Whale) on drums. What Henry lacks in stage presence is compensated with sound. Zach Gray of The Zolas

SEVEN NINES AND TENS at Pat’s Pub (Photography by Jill Hancock)
22 January 2010 :: Lauren Eldridge :: Concerts :: No Comments
This is fourth time I've written about a Seven Nines and Tens show, and they've all been different. I usually find something new to look at in awe, but in this case I felt the sweet sensation of knowing this was their best set to date. The embarrassing thing is that I still can't name their songs, s

THE SHRUGS with THE VELVET CHAMELEON at the Backstage Lounge (Photography by Duncan MacKay)
22 January 2010 :: Joseph Sloan :: Concerts :: 2 Comments
It was a frosty night down on Granville Island at the Backstage Lounge. The first band of the evening was The Velvet Chameleon. Their set started out with some cool bass noises coming from Justin Seidl, then moved into a rockier sound. Most of their set had very catchy surf riffs, and at one point

THE FURIES with TIME COPZ
17 January 2010 :: Joseph Sloan :: Concerts :: No Comments
Joseph Sloan attended the 16 January 2010 at Malone's Pub: I knew I was in for a raunchy night because (a) the show had lots of young, beer-guzzling college kids and (b) it's punk rock. Combine those two things and you have a great night of music and musings. The first band of the night wa

RICH HOPE with THE BRITISH COLUMBIANS and THE SICKS
16 January 2010 :: Leigh Eldridge :: Concerts :: 1 Comment
Leigh Eldridge attended and photographed the 14 January 2010 show at the Venue: I arrived at Venue just after 9pm, hoping the show hadn’t started yet. (It hadn’t, as seemingly nothing can start on time in this town). Being on the list makes me feel special (as always), but Venue has a syste
