PHOTOGRAPHED FOR VANDALA MAGAZINE
I took a trip down good, old memory lane on Thursday night at the Shaw Conference Centre. Nostalgia was thick in the air at the annual event, "Thaw at the Shaw", put on by local radio station, 100.3 the Bear, brought 80's punk rock forefathers, The Offspring, to town, and I couldn't have been more excited to have another band that I grew up listening to, doing what they do best, in front of my lens. Accompanied by the likes of fellow Canadians, Gob and Pigeon Park, this year's rendition of "Thaw at the Shaw" had the house completely sold out and rocking from side to side, start to finish; The perfect way of gearing up myself, and hundreds of other Edmontonians for a radical long weekend.
