Hello there, the angel from my nightmare...

Somehow, somewhere along the way this blog became an all-music blog. I'm going to try to post about other things eventually but for now, here's yet another concert post! blink-182 stopped by Toronto last night while on tour for their latest album "California". When I found out they were coming (thanks songkick!), I just knew I had to get tickets. I grew up listening to them and they kept breaking my heart every time they broke up. When I found out they were making another comeback, I knew I had to catch them live when I had the chance! They played at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre and it's a pretty decent-sized venue, not too big like the ACC where the performers looked like ants. We were in the 300 level and I was scared we weren't going to see anything because I didn't realize I had bought "partial view" tickets by mistake. We had aisle seats but the pole wasn't really in the way because it wasn't directly in front of us. I was a bit nervous since Tom's no longer in the band and I felt like his high/whiny voice contrasted nicely with Mark's lower more monotone voice. Now don't get me wrong, Matt from Alkaline Trio is a really talented guy and blink put on a spectacular show BUT it still felt like a piece was missing. With that aside, I had a lot of fun soaking in the nostalgia and reliving my youth - jumping around and yelling along to all the classics

JULY TALK ON JULY 1ST

Happy Canada Day! July Talk came to Chinguacosy Park yesterday for a free Canada Day concert so of course I had to go - I've been really into them for the past couple of months and have been wanting to see them live. I missed them at WayHome last year and Field Trip this year so I took this concert as the perfect opportunity to finally go see them! They have this vintage vibe to them, they remind me of Metric but with a 50's rock 'n' roll twist. I'm just obsessed with their black + white aesthetics, and the balance of Peter's rough + raspy vocals against Leah's soft + airy vocals. Also, if I'm allowed to be a fangirl for a moment - they are the cutest and I ship them so hard! Check out 2 of their songs below - "Guns + Ammunition" from their debut album and "Push + Pull" from their upcoming sophomore album, "Touch" set to be released September 9th!

The Naked And Famous at The Mod Club

I had such a fun time at the Naked And Famous show on Friday night at The Mod Club! I've never seen them live before and have never been to this venue before so I was excited for both. The Naked And Famous are pretty up there as one of my top bands... I was an instant fan when I first heard "Girls Like You" and treated it as my anthem for a good chunk of my first year of uni. They were on my "concert bucket list" but I was unfortunately unable to see them in 2011 when they came to Toronto - but now I can finally say I've had the privilege of seeing them live! I'm just obsessed with the way they blend somber lyrics with upbeat & dance-able music. And the harmonization, don't get me started on the harmonization - Alisa & Thom harmonize beautifully and every time they sing together, I fall in love. Watch my highlights video below and you'll see what I mean!


I spliced together some of my favourite songs from the show into one video :). They also performed two brand new unreleased songs! One of those songs is called Higher and is featured in this video (at the 11:26 mark) and I'm currently obsessed with it. I can't wait for their new album and I'm super STOKED for them to release new material if it's going to be anything like "Higher"!

The Mod Club is a nice cozy little venue located in Little Italy. It has a capacity of around 620 people - I'm a fan of small venues because they feel more intimate and allow you to get a closer view of the band. The doors opened at 7:30 and we got there around 7 and were able to sit on some stools along the side, with a great view of the stage (we wanted to stand but have the option of sitting... but I ended up sitting anyway because I'm a short person and had a better view sitting than I did standing). There's also an elevated lounge area and a balcony as an option.

Magic Man Concert @ The Garrison - March 7, 2015

Sorry this post is so delayed that it's on the verge of not being relevant anymore!!

I love concerts (love is an understatement here... I don't think there is a strong enough word to describe how I feel about concerts). I love the feeling of the music being so loud that you're able to feel it in your heartbeat; I love the excitement and buildup to the concert as well as the post-concert deafness and looking back on how amazing the show was; I love when the band starts playing and everything is so in sync and perfect; I love the connection you feel when the whole room starts singing along to all the songs; I love the light shows and the encore performances; I love it all! There's just something about watching a live performance that makes you happy all over.

When I found out Magic Man was coming to Toronto, I was obviously over the moon and HAD to go see them (I use Songkick to track all my artists/bands to find out when they're coming to town... it's a neat little website & app!) Magic Man is one of my favourite bands and I could not miss this! They put on a spectacular show and it was so much fun!

Below is a video of some highlights from the concert - filmed using my GoPro Hero4 Silver (mounted on a selfie stick ha! I was too lazy to hold it up because I knew my arms would get tired & I didn't want to wear it on my head because the video would be even more shaky if I did that). I was too excited that I forgot to take pictures with my phone but below are some pics taken by lovechowster

Weezer live at the Powerade Center! (Feb 9, 2014) =w=

This is a super late post because I've been busy with school but I LOVE WEEZER AND THAT CONCERT WAS AMAZING!! Microsoft put on a free Weezer concert to celebrate the grand opening of their new location. Weezer is one of my favourite bands and this concert made me so nostalgic since they played all of their classic songs! I love when concerts are super loud that I can feel the music in my heartbeat. PICS AND VIDS BELOW!!!













The sound quality on these videos is pretty bad though :(
Say It Ain't So, my fave weezer song!


Perfect Situation
