This weekend I’ll be out in Surrey for Fusion Festival but for those who cannot make the Skytrain out to Surrey Central for this (free) three day event filled with dancing, food and concert performances in the park, there’s another event happening down at Jericho Beach Park.
Celebrating three days of world music. Vancouver Folk Music [...]

Last summer I had the pleasure of meeting Jennie Roth in Vegas when we both attended Matt’s private birthday show.

A Pittsburgh girl who has become involved in the local social media scene, Jennie is helping to organize PodCamp Pittsburgh this fall. Over the last year she’s made her way to Vancouver for visits and [...]

A quick update to a previous post about the Dandy Warhols show tonight as it will now be taking place at Richards on Richards (and not The Vogue). Doors @ 8:00pm.
John and I will be attending later this evening and we hope to have a recap with some photos to add to this post as [...]

Tonight I took in my first taste of New Music West alongside Arieanna, Ianiv, and Duane (who was my official photographer for the evening) at the Red Room.
The event was the 604 Records showcase - no relation although my ears did perk up whenever someone thanked ‘604′.
Unfortunately I must admit that despite the acts [...]

Boston and I had a tumultuous relationship. I moved there alone not knowing anyone or having ever visited the city before. I had a new role with my company, a new house, and new friends to seek out, which wasn’t easy. One thing that I was able to go out and do by myself (that [...]

Last night John and I ventured over to Flux Bistro in Gastown for the Zero Ground album release party. Man, there’s nothing like hearing and experiencing live music.
Chad Nantais composed the entire album on his computer some time ago and after some suggestions from colleagues, he decided to bring it out into the real world. [...]

This past week I heard nothing but “Girlfriend” remix by Avril Lavigne blaring from the back room at my in-law’s house. The two nieces were rehearsing a dance for the family, which they performed after Thanksgiving dinner.

Their dance was really sweet and thoughtfully choreographed but once the final show [...]

When John told me this morning he heard on the radio that Matthew Good was going to be playing the Molson Brewery I did a double take.
The Molson Brewery? The one in Kits? Near the Burrard Bridge? Matthew Good… at the Brewery? Yeah I’m sure you get the gist. Well it’s true, CFOX is [...]
