Review and photos by Mike Bax Earlier this year, Gojira unleashed their heaviest, and best album to date – a beast of a disc entitled Magma. This evening’s performance at Rebel (formerly Sound Academy) was Gojira’s first stop in Toronto showcasing this new material live, the band playing 50% of the album this evening. There’s an…

Duran Duran w Nile Rodgers and Chic – Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, Toronto – July 13th, 2016
Review and Photos by Mike Bax For anyone that arrived late and missed Nile Rodgers and CHIC perform an hour long set of some truly amazing live music, they might not have understood Simon Le Bon’s introduction when Rodgers joined the band on stage to perform ‘Notorious’ and ‘Pressure Off’ mid-way through Duran Duran’s set….
Dallas Green – City And Colour – Molson Canadian Amphitheatre Toronto, June 17th, 2016
Photographed on the first night of two sold out shows in a row at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, Canada’s very own Dallas Green continues to be a musical force to be reconed with. I like this photo of him. cityandcolour.com twitter.com/cityandcolour http://www.facebook.com/cityandcolour
City And Colour photo gallery – Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, Toronto – June 17th, 2016
By Mike Bax The ultra talented Dallas Green took the stage with City and Colour for his first of two nights at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre. Performing as a five-piece band, this evening was technically the ‘second show’ after the original show on Saturday June 18th sold out so fast City and Colour opted to add another…
Nothing w Wrong – Lee’s Palace, Toronto – June 7th, 2016
Review and Photos by Mike Bax Bring the noise! Last night, twenty bucks got you four bands bringing an assortment of musical stylings and decibel levels spanning four hours of music at Lee’s Palace in Toronto. Relapse Records label mates (and road mates, this being their second run of dates together) Nothing and Wrong are…
Lamb of God w Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity – TD Echo Beach, Toronto May 19th, 2016
Review and Photos by Mike Bax This was the official first concert at TD Echo Beach / Molson Canadian Amphitheatre of 2016, and in my books, you couldn’t ask for a better trifecta of heaviness than Lamb of God, Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity. Interesting tidbit… If this was 20 years ago, the playing order…

Baroness – Opera House, Toronto – May 3rd, 2016
Review and Photos by Mike Bax There’s nothing in the world quite like seeing a great band with a great opener. Tonight at the Opera House was definitely one of those nights, as Savannah, Georgia’s Baroness along with New York’s Mutoid Man blew the roof off of the venue at an incredible decibel level. At…
Smashing Pumpkins w Liz Phair – Massey Hall, Toronto – April 12th, 2016
Review and Photos by Mike Bax Smashing Pumpkins is a band that, for me, are two things: 1) an amazing studio band and 2) a disappointing live band. Until last night, that is. The sound and representation of the material presented at Massey Hall this evening sounded superb. Touring In Plainsong as an acoustic-electro evening, Billy…
