We Hunt Buffalo – Head Smashed In
As a kid growing up in Calgary, I know I visited Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, in nearby Fort McLeod, at least once or twice. Pretty…
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: WINDHAND/Satan’s Satyrs @ Horseshoe Tavern, November 5, 2018
Windhand and Satan’s Satyrs are two of Virginia’s finest exports, and I definitely don’t mind seeing them on the same stage for the second time.

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: Pallbearer/Tribulation @ Lee’s Palace, September 15, 2018
Tribulation is a Swedish dark metal quartet with four albums under its belt…but I hadn’t heard of them until very recently. I guess it shows how allergic to corpse paint I am.
