PSYCHO LAS VEGAS Day One Recap
When I first saw the lineup for Psycho Las Vegas back in February, I knew I had to be there, and they hadn’t even announced the headliners yet. There definitely hasn’t been such an impressive lineup of stoner/doom/heavy-rock outfits anywhere in North America before…

Blood Ceremony at Dark Carnival Shocktail Party – Hamilton ON, July 9, 2016
We were excited to hear that Rue Morgue would be holding a Dark Carnival Expo in Hamilton this year. We were even more excited to hear that Toronto’s Blood Ceremony would be performing at the Expo’s evening Shocktail Party event. The patio of This Ain’t Hollywood was well-populated when we first arrived but inside seemed a bit…

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BORIS/Comet Control @ Lee’s Palace, August 11, 2016
Pink is pretty much the quintessential Boris album. Not only is it the closest they’ve come to that stoner/doom stuff all the kids are listening to these days, but it also contains a few tracks where they kick out the jams like the MC5 on takoyaki…

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: FLAG/DOA/War on Women @ Lee’s Palace, June 23, 2016
Evidently I can’t be in seven places at once, so for me, Lee’s was the place to be last night for a pair of hardcore pioneers from both sides of the border.

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BLACK PUSSY/Sons of OTIS/Sierra @ Cherry Cola’s, June 18, 2016
I’ve always thought that Black Pussy was a dumb band name. When I first heard of them opening for Vista Chino a couple years back, I thought “Why would you call your band that!?”

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: WEEDEATER/Author & Punisher/Today is the Day @ Hard Luck Bar, May 20, 2016
As for Weedeater, I don’t think they’ve played here in about five years, and it seems their legend has grown since the last time I’ve seen ’em. There were all sorts of bearded weirdos in attendance that I’ve never seen before–and the crazy crowd made for a rather raucous performance!

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: Napalm Death/Melvins/Melt Banana @ Opera House, April 19, 2016
This was a co-headlining gig, with Napalm going on last and both them and the Melvins playing for about an hour. But from my vantage point, I gotta say, the Melvins had a much more punishing pit!

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BONGZILLA, Black Cobra, Kings Destroy, Lo-Pan @ Mod Club, April 5, 2016
I was somewhat surprised to see Bongzilla headlining a concert-hall tour in 2016, but hey, with a four-band bill that brought it from start to finish, I’m certainly not one to complain!

AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: COC/Brant Bjork/Saviours/Mothership @ Opera House, December 1, 2015
There was not a dud to be found in last night’s lineup, with all four bands complementing each other nicely while not sounding exactly the same. And suffice to say, a PJK-era COC revival was met with much enthusiasm; it’s been a while since I’ve seen so many crowdsurfers at a concert!

Blind Guardian in Toronto
Thursday October 29th 2015, and it was a beautiful evening to see a giant lineup of eager fans outside the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. Guests Grave Digger joined the power metal legends, Blind Guardian.
