Last week in music...

First up last week was the oh-so-talented Hannah Epperson and her loop pedals performing at The Backstage Lounge:



Later that week The Rio Theatre hosted a Piano Recital. Artists included: Dominique Fricot (The Painted Birds), Prairie Cat, Jody Glenham, Dan Moxon (Bend Sinister) and Adaline.








Saturday Night found Michael Bernard Fitzgerald (w/ The Loud Love Choir) at the Pitt Pub at UBC, with Dave Vertesi (of Hey Ocean) opening, playing solo music of his own:

And The Winner Is....

WE ARE THE CITY!

My favourite part of watching WATC win $150,000, was watching their girlfriends freak out...and then seeing the boys in shock on stage.

The three of them are so genuinely nice, and insanely talented, that you couldn't help but smile the entire time.

Oh yah...Bend Sinister picked up $50K, The Left got $75K and there was a giant concert that happened too:

Catch Up/Wrap Up!

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've blogged...but it makes sense given that I shot 5 shows in 6 days and then flew to Ontario for Christmas.

So to sum up my last days in Vancouver before Christmas:

Saturday the 12th:
Aidan Knight @ The Media Club, where I finally met/got to hear the WONDERFUL Jody Glenham



Monday the 14th:
The Aidan Knight Experience continued with a show at the Biltmore, where We Are The City also came to support. Very nice guys. And THEN I ran (and taxied) as fast as I could The Media Club, but still missed Dave Vertesi's set...my friend and fellow photographer Mark Cohene was having an art show that night. After I checked that out, I went and relaxed for the rest of the night at the Racoon's Christmas Party:





Tuesday the 15th:
Racoons @ Fortune! See post.

Wednesday the 16th:
DAY OFF! zzzz.

Thursday the 17th:
Ridiculous spandex suited Topless Gay Love Tekno Party took over my 2nd home (aka the Media Club)(with opening act For British Eyes Only) and a giant dance party began, which led to my going home covered in sparkles and confetti...




Friday the 18th:
The Zolas & Hey Ocean at the Vogue. I seriously love the lighting in this venue. My favourite part of the evening was getting access to the closed off balcony to take some shots, and then taking a 2 minute dance break...which amused me because only the band could see me. Dave-O even waved...







Saturday the 19th:
NIGHT BEFORE MY 8AM FLIGHT!
I was once again at the Media Club (they're so good to me) for Undercover Brothers...a selection of cover/tribute bands, of which I caught Neverland (Michael Jackson) and Wheezler (Weezer). It was great fun and I even cut my knee wide open:






Longest Post ever! Hope you liked all the shots.
