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. [...]
Deer Tick’s shows are famously raucous. Or, as photographer Braden Paul, put it, “Absolutely nutty.” He was at Vancouver’s Rickshaw Theatre last night to capture the Providence-based band’s blood, sweat and tears. But mostly the blood. (That’s apparently what happens when you beat up your guitar.) It’s funny, because when you listen to Deer Tick’s albums, you might not [...]
They turn down the volume on my microphone when I sing karaoke. (So much for that year of singing lessons.) So when I was invited to Tuesday Night Music Club, it wasn’t to perform. The monthly series, which takes place at the Cellar on the last Tuesday of every month, brings together musical talent with industry pros [...]
You already know and love Bon Iver, right? (If you don’t, take a moment to have a listen and then answer that question.) But do you already know and love Other Lives? I didn’t. But seeing them open for Bon Iver made me fall head over heels. I’m not usually one for sit-down concerts either, but the [...]
I love music festivals. Love, love, love them. But I wasn’t able to attend Live at Squamish myself so I sent my brother Bryce Dundon who is a magical musician to cover it for The Anthology. Below are the highlights. The sun was shining, the camp was bustling and the stage was set. Live at [...]
I picked a name out of an oversized sun hat and the winner of two tickets to Live at Squamish plus a Mattel Game On! prize pack courtesy of The Anthology and Mattel is… Stefanie J. Congratulations! You are going to have the best! time! ever! Take lots of photos. Then please crop this shot and [...]
All right, my fellow festies, you are in for quite the weekend! Mattel and The Anthology want to give you two tickets to Live at Squamish August 20-21 plus a Mattel Game On! prize pack! It’ll look just like this, except with mountains instead of palm trees. You’ll get to see Girl Talk, Weezer, Metric, [...]
