Shredding Saturday

Good morning, and welcome to part two of my special tenant weekend! Today is guitarist day! This is Royce. He is a phenomenal guitarist, and a great backup so get. He has some of the best energy I've seen on stage in a long time. 

Stay tuned tomorrow for a photo of Jonathan, as well as the first of two album reviews!

Funky Friday

This weekend, I will be posting a full roster of the Vancouver band Tenant, as long as a review of their albums "All My Favourite Bands Are Breaking Up" and their 8 song EP "This Just In". But since it's Friday, here's a shot of their bassist during their recent Halloween concert at Joe's apartment in Vancouver! 

All natural Thursday

Good morning one and all! Unfortunately, where I am right now, it is not a beautiful day. It is cold, raining and downright miserable. Because of that, I am going to try to make myself, and everyone around me smile. One of the best and most beautiful things about fall is the changing of colours on leaves. Going for a walk one day, through a green forest, and coming back a few days later with the leaves being yellow, orange and red always makes me smile. That exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago, and I would like to share one of those photos with all of you! 

It's almost the weekend, hang in there!!

Guy Fawkes day

"Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot." Guy Fawkes was an English soldier who was one of the main conspirators in the gunpowder plot in attempt to blow up the English parlement building with king James the first still inside. The man was made famous a second time when the main character in the movie V for Vendetta wore a mask of his face, and constantly quoted him. To celebrate this November fifth, I'd like to share one of my favourite fire work photos. 

Manic Mondays

First off, I would like to apologize for the tardiness of my post today. As you may have noticed by the post title, Mondays are going to be a bit more crazy. Excluding next week of course, where I will do a remenberance day blog. So, other than next week, I will be sharing with everyone a photo of the band member who is constantly flailing their arms and legs in a somewhat controlled manner. That's right, the drummer! 

Who better to start off my Monday series of drummers than Danny Craig! He is the drummer from Default, and has worked very closely with bands such as Nickleback, Theory Of A Deadman, and many more. This was taken on the first night that I had my shiny new 70-200mm lens, as he joined Danha on stage to perform a cover song. 

Sunday Sonata

Today, for my Sunday Sonata of the week, I would like to tip my hat to Ed Sadler. He is a truly talented musician who knows more about the music business than the vast majority of any band members I've gotten to talk to. Unfortunately, he has not had good luck with band mates and has had to restart on multiple occasions, starting from scratch with needing to write new music and create a new band identity. He is a great singer, and guitar player. If anyone deserves a break in the industry, it's him. Check out his current project called "Fear Zero" 

Shredding Saturday

Good morning once again everyone, today is a vert special day... Because it is Saturday!! As I had said last Friday, I was working on an actual posting schedule for the weekends, and I have one. As you may have noticed, yesterday was Funky Friday, where I will be celebrating bassists. Saturdays, I have decided to celebrate the intensity that really brings a band to life, the guitarist. 

This is my good friend Tanner from the band Tenant, a melodic post-hardcore band. I was blessed enough to be invited to take photos at their concert last night in the beautiful Massey Theater, and what a delight it was. It was one of the best performances I have seen in a long time. I also received a copy of two of their albums, which I will be reviewing next week!
