    Photos: The B-52s and Devo throw a party at Rogers Arena (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Two iconic 80’s bands with distinctive sounds and cult-like followings threw a party at Rogers Arena last night. Devo kicked things off with their "Devolution Movement" catalogue leading into the epic "Whip It". That song woke up a somewhat stunned audience that may not have known about Devo beyond their only Top 40 hit and signature red hats. Peculiar backdrop videos and dystopian-like tunes seemed an odd match with the headlining B-52s, the ultimate house party dance band. A very diverse audie

    The boys from Mobile, Alabama, who got famous via TikTok, faced a warm crowd at Rogers Arena. They had some help, too. Sweet Talk kicked the show off with their first ever performance on Canadian soil. Originating from Australia, where country music is exploding in popularity, the boys have ventured out on their first North American tour with their distinctive yet familiar sound (think The Band). Fun on stage and lead singer Tane Walker has a commanding presence and alluring voice. I can't wait

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Blue Rodeo have been basically Canadian royalty since Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor joined forces and started a long list of iconic songs that have resonated with Canadians since their first album, Outskirts, back in '87. Any time they tour, it's a must-see show. This past weekend, they brought their 40th Anniversary tour to the Freedom Mobile Arch to open the PNE Summer Night Concert series. With 16 studio albums to their credit, the setlist spanned the years with several deep cuts and, of course,

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    AC/DC returned to BC Place for one final show on the Power Up Tour, which may as well be their final show here. Same as their last show here, the Pretty Reckless opened the affair with a ripping set that lead singer Taylor Momsen led despite the very slowly filling arena. She seemed overmatched but undaunted, and won the crowd over in no time. A sea of flashing red horns greeted the icons of rock and pulsed all night long, setting the mood for an epic list of classic hits that span well over fif

    Photos: Dog Day of Summer at the Nat Bailey (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On July 28, Nat Bailey got an extra dose of cuteness at the annual Dog Day of Summer. As if on cue, the rain stopped and Rogers Field at Nat Bailey Stadium was flooded with dogs. Not just the 75 cent hot dog promo, but canines of all breeds, sizes, and attitudes. Everyone was on their best behaviour and tail wagging was on full display. There may have even been a few doggos actually watching the game on the field, but I suspect the majority had their eye on those dogs in buns! Oh, and the Canadi
