It seems like lately the only bands I've been seeing is Mastodon. Well, I went to go see them again this past weekend but with some company! Best of all, the show was at an unlikely venue: The Sony Centre for Performing Arts!

The first band on deck was GHOST. They are some wildly dressed Swedish rockers who praise Satan! The lead singer dresses in ( Read more... )

It's time again...for fucking Mastodon!

This will be a straight forward post. Last night, I went to go check out Mastodon at the Kool Haus. After a day of some good news at work, what better way to end my week with a little bit of live music from my favourite band.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anyone to come to the show with me. As a result, ( Read more... )

Well it finally arrived. My first multi-day music festival and first metal music festival came by this past weekend. Heavy TO. This festival originated last year in Montreal and this year expanded to Toronto. I remember reading about this festival last year and boy was I excited when I found out they were coming to Toronto ( Read more... )

Boom boom boom. Another show in the books.
On Saturday November 27th 2010 I went to go see the Cancer Bats at the Millcreek Sports Bar in Mississauga! Random location I know! Looks like the band were embarking on a really small scale Ontario tour visiting all the rural cities of Ontario without making a stop in Toronto ( Read more... )

Tonight (September 18th 2010), I went to go check out Mastodon and the Deftones! They were playing at the Molson Amphitheatre as part of the BlackDiamondSkye tour with Alice in Chains. I was super pumped for this show for many reasons ( Read more... )

So last week on Thursday July 29th I went to go see Slayer at the Molson Amphitheater. No big deal right? WRONG ( Read more... )

On Sunday March 28th 2010, I went to go see Billy Talent & a bunch of other bands at the Air Canada Centre. This is the second time I've been at the ACC for a large concert in recent months (John Mayer for Valentine's Day w/ Antina). I'm not one to spend $50 to go see a band (unless it's Mastodon or something) but I just had a craving to check out ( Read more... )

Okay, I bought tickets to this show about two months in advance. It's been two whole years and a little more since I last saw Mastodon. Boy was I pumped. Their "Crack the Skye" record has been a huge success commercially and personally for me. This concert also introduced me to two new bands. Thanks Brendan for getting me into Converge and Dethklok ( Read more... )

On Wednesday October 21st 2009, I went to go see The Stills and Metric at Massey Hall. I saw both these bands not too long ago at Edgefest so it's interesting that I made the decision to see them again so soon. I wanted to see more from the Stills this time around, as I was disappointed with the set they played at Edgefest. Not to mention, it was ( Read more... )

On Sunday August 23rd, my musical life pretty much came full circle. Well, that's a bit of a stretch, but you get the idea! I went to go see mother fucking Blink 182 at the Molson Amphitheatre. Blink has been one of the biggest musical inspirations in my life. Yes, they're just another pop-punk band that play three chord songs. But they made a ( Read more... )
