Writing a Life of the Stars

October 15, 2013 by ebembo

New York Public Library’s Rose Reading Room Ah, Spencer Krug. In his latest incarnation as a solo artist, he goes by Moonface. It seems you can’t mention Spencer Krug without touching on his former bands, the most prominent of which was Wolf Parade. Full disclosure: I think their first album, Apologies to the Queen Mary, is a masterpiece and, not to get too High Fidelity here, is one of my top five albums of all time. Needless to say, I […]

Osh- itimmissing- eaga 2013

Osh-itimmissing-eaga 2013

July 22, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Osheaga 2013 is less than two weeks away. That, along with missing Just for Laughs, Jazz Fest, the new food trucks (street meat!!) and hikes up to Mile End for St Viateur bagels is enough to make anyone severely nostalgic for Montreal summer days and nights. Fortunately, I am very happy in my Australian life and will only feel slight pangs of jealousy when you all start increasingly posting about this epic indie festival. Like previous years, Osheaga 2013 features […]

Tame Impala live at Groovin the Moo Canberra Australia

Moos and Grooves: Part Twos

May 6, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The adventure continues! After our first three acts, we decided that it wasn’t absolutely necessary to be in the crowd for Alpine. So we went out to pasture. Pas de <<moshing.>> SILENT DISCO. Amazing. You are given headphones and then get to flick back and forth between two live DJs vying for your aural attention. Most often one DJ would come out on top ie. when one played “Thrift Shop” or “Jump Around” (second playing of House of Pain that […]

Seth Sentry Groovin the Moo Canberra Australia 2013 live

Moos and Grooves: Part One

April 29, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Between sets. This weekend I went to my first Australian Music Fesitval, Groovin the Moo. The guiding shtick of this festival is to take over the fields of small town Australia and bring ‘local and imported produce’ to the people and our bovine friends. I had a complete blast. Like the previously mentioned Alpine and Frightened Rabbit, the lineup featured some pretty fantastic acts, I got to enjoy some all time favourites and hear some fresh local Australian crop at […]

Molly Guldemond, Mother Mother concert, Kool Haus, Toronto Dec 1, 2012

Five Times the Charm

December 6, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

It was a red lipstick type of night at the Kool Haus last Saturday. I met up the fabulous Bodi sisters in Toronto where we started the evening off right with some pizza and merlot. After donning the aforementioned red lipstick and Miss. A artfully splashed some smoke across my eyelids, we jumped in the cab to see Mother Mother! And then…. traffic. Incredible, incredible amounts of traffic. As we pasted the SkyDome (re: Rogers Centre) our cab driver said something about […]

Best of the Fest: Osheaga 2012

August 17, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Alright so Osheaga was almost two weeks ago now…… buuuut how timely was I with that closing ceremony post!? eh?…. ehhh? In a city renown for its music, the crowning jewel of Montreal’s indie-scene is the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival. Launched in 2006 with 25,000 concert-goers this month’s edition hosted more than 120,000 fans. This was even a big jump from last year’s 80,000. I believe the most integral part of any live show is its audience. Joy is contagious, […]

Close up on Barr Brothers' guitar and harp

Releasing the Brothers

November 13, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Eeeks! I had got complaints, but I hadn’t realized it had been nearly two weeks since I had posted! Sorry, it’s been fast-times in the world of VApps, and at the moment, I’m writing to you from my best friend’s place in Paris. Alright, so about a month ago, I was fortunate enough to attend the album release concert for The Barr Brothers. The Brothers have been a big hit on this blog. For previous posts click here (coincidentally a photo […]

Mother Mother Concert in Mac store July 2011, Molly Guldemond

Mother, May I?

July 19, 2011 by snapshotsandneedledrops

So far I’ve avoided listing a song by the same band twice, but yesterday I attended a free Mother Mother concert at the Apple Store in downtown Montreal (I know!) It was fantastic and deserving of a post. As I lined up alongside fellow music hipsters/snobs, cars on the street and passerbys stopped to ask “what’s the new gadget?” Our response that it was a concert upstairs by a group called ‘Mother Mother’ only served to increase their looks of confusion. I’d […]
