Charlie Winston finished off his Canadian tour in Vancouver this weekend. While he drank tea (he’s English) and ate breakfast at 3:00 in the afternoon (he’s a rockstar), I bombarded him with questions about Beethoven, the Great White North and his perpetually half-undone tie. Take a peek at my interview here.
The Anthology’s list of what’s new, what’s now and what’s next… Begging for it. Featuring vintage clothes and new pieces from the likes of Union Wood Co. and Red Flag Design, the monthly Beggars Banquet kicks off Friday, January 20th (6-11pm) and Saturday, January 21 (11am-6pm) in the former Boneta location at 1 West Cordova in Vancouver. Jetset Style. [...]
As we count down The Anthology’s highlights of the past year we’re seeing a lot of ridiculous randomness (10. an invisible man, 9. the friendly Sasquatch, 8. psychedelic pants, 7. alpine picnic, 6. pompom-shaking, and 5. fashion passion). Which brings us to… 4. The sheer joy on this man’s face. There is one band that I would see every weekend [...]
At The Anthology I eschew the usual “best and worst” of the year in favour of the most ridiculous. We kicked off The Anthology’s ten most ridiculous moments of 2011 with an invisible man in a fur coat so that brings us to… 9. A not-so-invisible man in a fur jumpsuit. When photographer Braden Paul covered Sasquatch [...]
It was one of the trickier shows Braden Paul has shot — there was no photo pit and the place was packed. But he captured some up close and personal photos of We Are the City at the Rio last weekend. Their indie rock sound is pretty, pretty, pretty so it’s no wonder the trio from Kelowna, BC [...]
Death From Above 1979 fans are…well, die hard. And Braden Paul is one of them. With beer on his camera lens and rock ‘n roll in his soul, he captured these shots during one of two sold-out shows the Toronto-based duo played at the Commodore Ballroom this week. DFA1979 shows are legendarily raucous (ask anyone who’s been). [...]
You know it’s a good show when photographer Braden Paul throws his neck out from dancing so hard. And yet somehow manages to capture these photos too. Genre-bending California-based DJ Bassnectar rocked the PNE Forum with his deep, dupstep-style beats this weekend. It was, to use Braden’s words, a “sweaty gongshow.” One that was opened by British [...]
The Anthology’s list of what’s new, what’s now and what’s next… 1. Dance party! Is it dub step, electronica, punk or all of the above? Who’s to say. One thing’s for sure — California’s Bassnectar will be performing at the PNE Forum on Friday, November 18th. 2. Veni, vidi, Versace. The Versace for H&M collection will be [...]
By Erika Renfrew I issue all of you (yes, even you!) a small challenge. Stop and take a minute, put down whatever it is you’re doing and listen, really listen to some music. One condition, it has to be Hey Rosetta! No longer a Canadian secret, this Newfoundland-born band has been singing, strumming, drumming, violin-ing and [...]
When Yukon Blonde head-banged their way across the Biltmore’s stage on Thursday, Braden Paul was there to capture the action. Are these fair locks the inspiration behind the band’s name? I’m gonna go with yes. (And then you’re gonna want to fact-check that because I totally made that up.) Can you guess where they’re from? It ain’t the Yukon. [...]
