Blog: Keri's Concert Photos

Barb told me I had to go see Marah. so I checked them out on myspace and found I really liked their garagey sound.. It wasn't the biggest crowd, but it was very enthusiastic. They came to the stage with the theme to Rocky. [...]

Rob Dickinson is an amazing singer/songwriter who used to lead a band called Catherine Wheel. They were pretty big in the 90's and I really liked them then. He was in Vancouver to support his new solo album, Fresh Wine For The Horses. It's quite different from Catherine Wheel. Far more melodic. [...]

I went and saw the Barenaked Ladies Chrismtas show tonight. I remember seeing them at the Thunderbird Stadium for the UBC Arts County Fair many years ago, and they are still lots of fun. Sarah McLaughlin made a couple of special guest appearances. The show opened with a children's choir which was really adorable. They even joined the band [...]

They may not be famous (yet) but here are a few bands that I've seen lately and that I like. Check them out! Misty First up are the Yoko Casionos. I love them, and I don't know them at all, so you know I'm not lying. Check them out at MySpace [...]

Review to follow Courtney Taylor - Taylor . Peter Holstrom Zia Macabe

Anyone, everyone, who knows me, knows how much I love the Detroit Cobras. If I had only one desert island band, they would have to be it. Sadly, circumstances prevent them from touring in Canada, but it was a fabulous excuse for a road trip!! Racehl Nagy Chop Suey is a weird little club. It's sort of got this asian theme with red chinese lanterns around, and the smallest stage I've [...]

Romeo Stodart Michele Stodart Angela Gannon A lot has been written about the Cheshire Cat grin of Romeo Stodart, and it was on full display tonight. In fact they may have been [...]

I met him during the Western Canadian Music Festival. He was with his bassist Joel, who was hilarious. (See above photo. You get the idea.) Anyway, short story shorter, you must check them out. Ben Sigston at MySpace [...]

Billy Talent with Jim Vallance Hmmm, I'm not really sure If I should post this here, or one of my other blogs but I guess this is the where it fits most. Last weekend was the Western Canadian Music Awards which ran with some other Western music festival. Now I live in Vancouver, and I'm very active as far as seeing shows [...]

More non concert related photos, but I had so many I thought I'd split them up. These are sand sculptures from the international competition.

This is where I live and this was tonights sunset.

Shirley Manson is like a tiger on stage. An easy analogy since she was wearing a tiger striped dress, but more because of the way she paced around the stage like a caged tiger. It was a huge show in a small venue with a stage/light show (and band) that warranted an arena. It totally justified the $55 ticket price. Wait, that was $55 after Ticketmaster gouged out their share. [...]

Inspired by the exotic adventures of The Travelling Head, here is my attempt at sharing some of my musical adventures. Let's start here, with my "review" of the Doves last night here at the fabulous Commodore Ballroom in beautiful Vancouver. If there was an opening act we totally missed it as the band gets on stage shortly after we get drinks. I am already feeling like a sardine and I can barely see anything from our spot centre floor. Damn it, I hate being so short. They open with Pounding [...]

I've always loved the Lemonheads and Evan Dando. It always seemed to me that he didn't want to be famous, since his songs were incredibly melodic sing-a-longs with some kind of oddball kink thrown for radio unfriendliness. Example?? This line is from a happy little ditty called "Being Around" If I was your body, would you still wear clothes? If I was a booger, would you blow your nose? Would you keep it? Would you eat it? I'm just tryin to give myself a [...]

These are from a surprize appearance the R.E.M made at this very small club in Vancouver. I was lucky enough to have a couple of ins, so I knew they would be there. Thanks Barb! Thanks Frank! This photo was actually published in the Province, a local newspaper. Yup, I got to meet Michael, and as he is my hero, I pretty much made a fool of myself but he [...]

Sure I used to like Duran Duran when I was young, but this is 2005 and I'm just not feeling that nostalgic, but Marsi can't go, and Peter and May are both friends of mine, so off we go. Unexpectedly high ticket sales have led to the horrible realization that our great seats have become bad seats with the movement of the stage. As the concert starts, Peter notices that a lot of seats are empty by the front. "Let's do a recon?" I say, and off I go to check it out. [...]

Scene from the show: The club is dark, and as our main characters are sitting there, a blonde gorgeous woman approaches. She has “secret agent� smoky good looks in a black trench coat and impossibly high pump heals. Scene begins. Glen: Is that Sharin? Keri: Um, I’m not sure. Glen: Should I say something? Keri: Do you want to? I don’t know if it’s her or not. Glen: What would I say? I think you’re [...]
