So another HPX has come and gone, and once again our fair city held it down. The sets we caught were fantastic and as diverse as some of the venues that housed them. I mean, it's hard to believe you could see Propsector's Union, I See Rowboats and Retribution Gospel Choir in a church, and then jump ship to see the GZA rip at The Marquee on the same night, but such was the embarrassment of riches HPX had to offer. Anyway, here are ten things we learned this year at HPX: [...]
Βιολιά. Καναδάς. Δε χρειαζόμουν και πολλά περισσότερα στοιχεία για τους I See Rowboats από το Halifax για να να τσιμπήσω, αν και ο χαρακτηρισμός ' the new final fantasy ' που διάβασα κάπου βοήθησε επίσης αρκετά την κατάσταση.. Τέσσερα αγόρια κι ένα κορίτσι απαρτίζουν λοιπόν τους I See Rowboats οι οποίοι ακούγονται 'σαν ένα δέντρο που ερωτεύεται το δάσος'.. sweet! Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει μόνο ένα EP, το Hide and seek behind the throne . Τα τρία από τα τέσσερα τραγούδια του που έχω ακούσει [ότι έχουν ανεβάσει στο Myspace δηλαδή] είναι υπέροχα, και πραγματικά διχάστηκα μεταξύ [...]
As the Ack mentioned earlier, we headed out Friday night to check out a couple shows, the first of which was a double header featuring two rising Halifax acts, i see rowboats and Rich Aucoin at The Music Room in Halifax. Although both of those acts are very stellar, and two of my favorites from last year, the venue itself was a big part of the attraction last night. I'd heard good things about The Music Room, which is described on its website as: Halifax's newest cultural [...]
All right, if you ask nicely, I'll give you another slick table previewing tonight's events for the In The Dead Of Winter festival. It's ok, you don't have to feel obligated to be nice, I'm going to give you the preview anyway. The Ack is jealous of my html table skills, so I'm showing them off again. Anyway, no doubt you read my review for Wednesday nights show at the Italian Cultural Centre and it has inspired you to check out some of the action for yourself. Well check on checkers... [...]
The In The Dead of Winter festival is called that for a reason, I mean it's January 31st, we're right in the heart of winter. However, the weather for the festival's openning night was more like the dead of winter in Vancouver rather than Halifax. A balmy 4 degrees and constant rain might not ordinarily be ideal weather for an evening out, but compared to the -15ish temperatures we enjoyed the last week or so, it isn't so bad. Plenty of folks agreed with me too, as when we arrived at the venue (I was joined [...]
Ok, this is a fairly straight-forward post. Last week I posted on the upcoming edition of the In The Dead of Winter Festival that's taking place here in Halifax. In that post I said I'd be profiling some of the shows, so we might as well talk about the schedule for the opening night (Wednesday, January 30) show taking place at the Italian Cultural Centre. Pretty impressive show in my humble opinion: 7:00 Songwriter's Circle: Jenn Grant , Peter Katz , Mary [...]
I think we've given the Halifax music scene plenty of solid coverage this past year. So hopefully the fact that I am only now discussing i see rowboats' excellent debut EP, Hide And Seek Behind The Throne says more about the abundance of quality acts in this city then it does about my laziness. i see rowboats (it appears the rowboats do not enjoy the capital letters, so I will follow suit) was formed after friends Will Robinson and Luke Fisher reconnected and set about filling a roster of friends to accompany them [...]
