AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: Earthless/Kikagaku Moyo @ Lee’s Palace, March 14, 2018
What’s better than seeing Earthless live? How about seeing Earthless live with lava lights!? The San Diego heavy psych veterans brought their new album…
Lee’s Palace
AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: PALLBEARER/Kayo Dot/Bask @ Lee’s Palace, August 30, 2017
It was great to see Pallbearer back in Toronto–and as a four-piece this time.
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: Electric Wizard/Blood Ceremony/Satan’s Satyrs @ Lee’s Palace, April 5, 2015
Electric Wizard’s Time to Die tour marked their first extended trek across North American in 13 years, and their first Toronto appearance in…forever!? No wonder it was such a hot ticket.
And if we made our politicians pay $425 every time they showed up for work, we’d balance the budget in no time!
I forgot that our brave legislators only listen to bands like the Eagles and Supertramp. Cuz with their new amendments to the country’s labour laws, Stephen Harper and company are making it so that crusty classic rockers and pre-fabricated pop tarts could be the only artists to ever come to Canada…
Holy triple bill, Batman!
Anyways, warming the unseasonably cold wastelands of Toronto tonight is a terrific touring package featuring Torche, KEN Mode and Lo-Pan. It feels like I haven’t seen Torche in a long time, but turns out I last caught ’em last summer when they toured with COC…
This figures to be the female-fronted tour of the summer, folks…
It’s been a little while since I’ve seen Kylesa in concert, 2+ years to be precise, and that was an early show. Suffice to say, I’m stoked to see them hitting The Annex again this summer, but when I saw the full touring lineup, I definitely did a double-take…
Maaaan, Fu Manchu’s coming here in a couple weeks!? That’s the first I’ve heard of this…
Overheard at the bar at the Blood Ceremony gig the other night: “Dude, you know Fu Manchu? Blah blah blah stoner rock blah blah Kyuss … They’re playing Lee’s Palace March 15th, you should check it out.”
If the world ends next Friday, I can’t think of a better way to spend my last nite than at Lee’s Palace with White Cowbell Oklahoma…
For the past few years, White Cowbell Oklahoma’s Christmas show has always been an event I’ve marked on my calendar. Toronto’s most outrageous, over-the-top live band usually has something special up their sleeves around this time of year, and this year is no exception. Mind you, they’ve scheduled things a week later this time to coincide with… the end of the world!
