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!

Saviours – Palace of Vision
Y’know, I was kinda wondering what had happened to these guys; it had been over four years since the release of their last record, Death’s Procession, and subsequent tour supporting Weedeater. No longer signed to Kemado Records, which seems to have fallen off the face of the earth itself, this Oakland retro-rock outfit is still…

Weedeater / Saviours / Bison B.C. / Fight Amp @ Lee’s Palace, Toronto ON, September 13, 2011
“When headliners Weedeater began to play, I was immediately struck by how much effort they put into differentiating their sound from every other group on the bill. Their tone was harsh, ugly, abrasive and super-filthy, the guitars and bass drenched in feedback. Vocalist Dixie Dave Collins matched this perfectly, sounding like he’d been gargling with…

The nite that Tee Pee came to town
Great gig at the Silver Dollar Room last nite, featuring Tee Pee recording artists Naam, ELKS and Toronto’s own Quest For Fire. It’s not every day that Toronto sees a heavy psych triple bill of this magnitude.

Festival Recap – Scion Rock Festival, Columbus OH, March 13, 2010
I like free things. I especially like them when they give me the chance to see a bunch of bands I dig for, well, nothing. So, after passing on going to the initial Scion Rock Festival with Kevin Stewart-Panko last year when it happened in Atlanta, I made up my mind I wouldn’t miss this…

3 Inches of Blood/Saviours @ Amigos, Saskatoon, SK, October 26, 2009

With two new records conveniently out at the same time, not to mention two very compatible sounds, the pairing of these…
