Christine Fellows @ Divan Orange

May 7 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

Upon arriving at the entrance to Divan Orange for the Christine Fellows show, I was amazed to see no one outside smoking. What did this mean? Did it mean the show was so great that it prevented those that love to fill their lungs with smoke and nicotine from indulging? That’s it; it had to be because it was a mesmerizing show.

Heard of a cappella vocal music? All the vocal nerds that just chirruped kindly ignore this bit. To the rest, allow me to educate you. “A cappella” means vocal music without instruments. While originally a classical term, it's commonly found in styles like doo wop, barbershop and, more recently, pop covers ('Glee' and 'The Sing-Off' both feature a cappella music).

Classified + Kidz In The Hall @ Club Soda

April 12 2011 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

So, on a beautiful Saturday, there I was at another great concert (one of many that weekend in Montreal). The first act had just finished playing to an almost full Club Soda when I got there. For it to be full at that point - before the main act - was great to see. Whatever the reason, we were all there to see Juno-nominated rap-producer Classified.
