Concert Review: Neon Indian in Vancouver
Review by Michelle da Silva (@michdas) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) During late spring, Vancouver gets a flood of awesome live shows coming our way, thanks to festivals like Coachella and Sasquatch close by. Hot off their much-talked-about performance in Cali, Neon Indian played at Venue in Vancouver on April 28. Accompanied by Brooklyn band [...]
Concert Review: M83 in Vancouver
Review by Michelle da Silva (@michdas) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) Few live shows are as hotly anticipated as M83’s return to Vancouver was on April 27. Frontman Anthony Gonzalez’s rock-infused electro-pop band has played to nothing short of sold-out shows almost every time they’ve made their way to Canada’s West Coast, and Friday night’s [...]
Concert Review: The Naked and Famous in Vancouver
Review by Nicole (@tokyo_to) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) Since the release of Passive Me, Aggressive You back in 2010, The Naked and Famous have been touring and promoting the album pretty much non-stop for the past couple years. This North American tour is their last for the album and what a way to end [...]
Concert Review: Tanlines in Vancouver
Glancing around at the crowd that had gathered inside Vancouver’s Fortune Sound Club, what became clear to me was that Tanlines definitely appealed to the hipsters of the city. I saw many a male-chignon and many a pair of ankle grazers. However, it was quite surprising that the turnout to the Brooklyn band’s date in [...]
Concert Review: Coldplay in Vancouver
There’s just something about seeing one of your all-time favourite bands the first time. The excitement leading up to a concert, singing along to all of your favourite songs, the never ceasing smile when you’re leaving the venue – it’s all such an amazing feeling and I must say that seeing Coldplay live for the [...]
Concert Review: Our Lady Peace in Vancouver
Review by Jordana Mah (@mizzjblog) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) I have to admit, when I first heard that Our Lady Peace was coming to Vancouver, my initial thought was “they’re still making music?” It has been awhile since OLP had crossed my radiowaves. Once arguably one of the biggest bands in Canada, OLP has since [...]
Concert Review: First Aid Kit in Vancouver
Going into First Aid Kit‘s show, I already knew how talented the young Söderberg sisters are, but it’s just absolutely mind-blowing to see them perform live because they are just so talented. And it’s the kind of talented that makes you want to stab yourself because you know you’ll never be to sing and harmonize as [...]
Concert Review: Cults in Vancouver
The last time I saw Cults play was in 2010 when they opened for POP ETC (formerly The Morning Benders). Back then, the band had just begun to get more and more buzz on the interwebs thanks to their EP, Cults 7″, posted on their Bandcamp page. I guess the duo of Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion owe much of their growth in popularity [...]
Concert Review: Chairlift + Nite Jewel in Vancouver
Review by Michelle da Silva (@michdas) Photos by David Thai (@david_thai) About three-quarters of the way through Nite Jewel‘s opening set for Chairlift at Vancouver’s Electric Owl on April 6, 2012, Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly stealthy made their way onto the crowded dance floor and danced along to Nite Jewel’s lo-fi dance beats. No [...]
Concert Review: Fitz and The Tantrums in Vancouver
I was still standing in line at coat check when Fitz and the Tantrums started their first song “Don’t Gotta Work It Out”. Even without the sight of the stage I could tell from the chaotic loudness that it was going to be an amazing show at the Commodore. Turns out my prediction was right. The LA [...]
