http://www.petermurphy.info | http://www.myspace.com/officialpetermurphyspace Interspersed with his solo material, Murphy and his bandmates played numerous Bauhaus songs (of which ‘Stigmata Martyr’ was my favourite) throughout the ninety-minute set. The first song of the first encore was a wonderful cover of ‘Hurt’ by Nine Inch Nails, performed by just Murphy and his guitarist in a wonderfully quiet…

Boris w Russian Circles – Lee’s Palace August 9th, 2010
http://www.myspace.com/borisdronevil As a remixed version of ‘H.M.A. – Heavy Metal Addict’ played over the speakers before Boris came on stage, I was filled with a mixture of emotions. I was totally stoked that Boris were minutes away from taking the stage, but I have to admit to being a little bummed that a recorded version…
Juliette Lewis – Lee’s Palace, Toronto – August 7th, 2010
http://www.myspace.com/juliettelewis | twitter.com/JulietteLewis This evening’s performance marked my third time seeing Lewis live. I saw her for the first time in Lee’s Palace in 2005, supporting the You’re Speaking My Language album (her second release with The Licks). At that show, I went in as someone curious to see ‘the Hollywood starlet on stage’. I…

And while I don’t feel like I can honestly contribute entire reviews of some of these performances (seeing as I only saw two to three songs per band), I do have…
Lacuna Coil – Opera House Toronto – May 25th, 2010
Lacuna Coil, one of the hardest working metal bands on the planet, made their way through Toronto a few days ago, playing a headlining set to a decent sized crowd at the Opera House. Before playing ‘Heaven’s A Lie’, Cristina talked about sad days in the music industry currently, before dedicating the song to their…
Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne – Scream Press Conference Casa Loma Toronto – 2:00pm, Wednesday May 19th, 2010
I still can’t get over this one. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne fielding questions at Casa Loma on May 19th to a crowd of 70 – 80 people. I’ve been an Ozzy fan for so many years now – it felt surreal being a ‘hackie-sack kick’ away from the guy for this press event. The inquiries from…
Plain White T’s Interview with De’Mar Hamilton – Nov 15th, 2007
These guys are probably the toughest band I’ve tried to track down for an interview since I started up Fazer. I had hoped to get a girl I know who’s a fan of the Plain White T’s an interview with a PWT band member and run it with some shots of them playing live. After getting…
