concert hands at Groovin the Moo

Remix Artists Collective

April 7, 2014 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Groovin the Moo, 2013 “Have you heard this song before?” Snapshots and Needle Drops’ Emily (WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK) is oh so much more than a fantastic contributor: Emily often serves as my eyes and ears back in North America. My main audience for this blog are in Canada and the US, though the number of visitors from the UK and Australia are also growing. It can be incredibly difficult to write across the globe for an audience who […]

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 […]

The Echo from the Mountain

October 7, 2013 by ebembo

View from the Ubisoft rooftop terrace in Montreal Pop Montreal has come and gone in a flash. This year’s line-up was particularly strong and the festival was made all the better by gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather.  As is often the case at Pop, deciding which concert to see when there are so many amazing acts playing at the same time proved to be especially challenging. But there was one show in particular that I knew, hands-down, I would not miss: […]

Under the parachute at Osheaga.

Close to the Cold Coast

September 23, 2013 by ebembo

I’m very excited to be Snapshots & Needle Drops’ first guest blogger! Many thanks to Vappz, who is currently driving somewhere along the Australian coast, about to embark on a springtime fruit-picking adventure. Right now Montreal is experiencing that wonderful brief window when you wake up in the fall, spend your day in the summer, and go to bed in the fall again. It’s beautiful and warm, but there’s a certain crispness in the air. People are going out of […]

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 […]

Merchant City Glasgow fairy lights square

Brighten My Corner

April 22, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Glasgow’s Merchant City  Just a quick indie rock fix this week. Like Wonderland’s own frightened [White] rabbit, I feel there’s ‘no time to say “hello” goodbye!’ Time is seems to be getting the better of me again. On the bright side, the countdown to Groovin’ the Moo seems to be flying by. Frightened Rabbit will be playing amongst the cows next weekend. Looking forward to it. The photos were taken around the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow’s Merchant […]

That Expectedly, Unexpected Sound

April 15, 2013 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The stunning ST a ‘Sparkling Hour‘ in Muskoka Dulling the pain created by the release of Osheaga’s 2013 line-up and the acceptance that I won’t be attending this year is the anticipation of going to the Australian music festival called ‘Groovin the Moo” in two weeks! Groovin’ the Moo has stacked the deck with awesome bands from Australia. And Australia, if you haven’t noticed, has recently been flooding the market with killer new acts. Today’s feature is a band that […]
