Týr is one of the more interesting heavy metal bands touring these days. Originating from the Faroe Islands, and naming themselves after the Norse god of law and justice, Týr have achieved a signature sound within the global metal scene.
Com Truise is cooler than Tom Cruise. That’s a fact. OK fine, it’s Cloudy's and my opinion, but our adoring attitude toward the Brooklyn-based synthwave producer was shared by a packed house of synth lovers at Fortune Sound Club on February 24th.
CJSF 90.1 FM and The Jazz Spectrum are pleased to announce that Fawn Fritzen is the winner of the 3rd Annual Julian Award of Excellence for Emerging Canadian Jazz Artists. Congratulations Fawn!
Since their inception, The Courtneys have always had a playful character to them. They never seemed to take themselves too seriously, a trait that has come to define their brand of slacker-pop. But after a good, solid year of suspicion, Saturday January 4th’s performance and Music Video Release Party at the Rainbow Connection on Hastings demonstrated that they are, in fact, some of the hardest working slackers in the Vancouver music.
For a guy who complains all too often that “they” don’t make good music anymore, it was quite refreshing to be at Massey Theatre on November 1st. There, I got to witness Win the Moment, a contest in which local bands competed to open for Hey Ocean!, a Grammy winning Vancouver based band. The audience voted for the winner. As part of the Momentum Youth Arts Movement, it was a showcase for young bands to show their talent and that they did. All four bands put on a great show.
Having grown up in New Westminster, I have seen the development of the Momentum Youth Arts Movement Festival from its early conception as Yam Jam, infamously known by the youth locals as one of the most lifeless youth music festivals in the Lower Mainland. However, seeing its new form and its handpicked line up of artists leading up to the internationally-known headliner, Hey Ocean!, I was curious with how the festival was doing since I last went a decade ago during my high school years.
My new favourite genre, without a doubt, has got to be proto-punk. It enlists a vision of early man expressing himself through double-time 4/4 beats and incoherent yelling. But in actuality, proto-punk refers to the punk music that existed before punk music really existed. Billed as ‘before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols, or even the Ramones’ the band called Death has one of the most fascinating stories in rock and roll, and earns the illustrious title of proto-punk to the fullest degree. On November 1st, Death visited the Rickshaw Theatre to revise the music history books.
Arriving at the Biltmore for a Friday nite gig one usually has a set of certain expectations. On this particular evening it was seeing former Portland-based indie/alt rock act Hockey. After an initial slow trickle of attendees and slightly peculiar crowd mix seemed to cause delay, somehow everything seemed to work itself out just right and become more intimate and cheery by the conclusion of a wonderful musical entertainment experience.
