In This Moment Bewitches and Bewilders Edmonton's Shaw Conference Centre - November 5, 2017

PHOTOGRAPHED & REVIEWED FOR VUE WEEKLY

Flaunting a display of dark imagery and promiscuous bombast, Los Angeles' very own femme fatale fronted metal core masters In This Moment commanded Edmonton's Shaw Conference Centre with ease on Sunday night. Bringing with them fellow L.A based rap-rockers Hollywood Undead, Of Mice & Men and Avatar, all the way for Gothenburg, Sweden to lead the charge into Sunday night's debauchery.
Opening up the night with Avatar was like a proverbial punch to the face when it comes to energy; the perfect way to kick off a bill such as this. The Swedish group was performing in Edmonton for their first time ever, and promised that it certainly won't be their last thanks to the remarkable crowd response. Moving on to Of Mice & Men, who threw down a hard hitting half hour set consisting mainly of chuggy breakdowns and gritty vocals. Hollywood Undead dominated the stage with a punchy, punky, in-your-face performance that had their audience jumping with hands waving in the air for what seemed to be the entirety of their set. Their apparent "don't-fuck-with-us" attitude translated well with their Edmonton crowd, as they shouted and shrieked for more.
Appearing in a mass of fog and a mix of shadow and light, front woman Maria Brink's bewitching beauty and gothic outfit had caught the attention of everyone in the room immediately as the stage curtain dropped to the floor. Through numerous costume changes, Brink and her band of ghoulish musicians hammered through a brief, but heavy hitting 12 song set, featuring covers such as the infamous Phil Collins' tune "In The Air Tonight" as well as a mash up jam session of Metallica's classics "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Creeping Death". An array of spooky theatrics, costume changes complimented by stage dancers made each song larger than life, tightening the grip on In This Moment's already mesmerized audience. Bringing the night to a close with the pounding hit track "Whore" In This Moment delivered an unforgettable show to a packed awe-struck floor of people, leaving an impression on their Edmonton audience unlike any other.

The Offspring Kicks Off Halloweekend with One Bad Son in Edmonton at The Bear's 25th Annual Halloween Howler - October 27, 2017

PHOTOGRAPHED FOR VUE WEEKLY

Once again, Halloweekend has come and gone in Edmonton, and of all things that go bump in the night around this time of year, The Howler is surely the one who makes the most noise. Going on their 25th year at the Shaw Conference Centre, local rock radio station 100.3 The Bear has been throwing this epic Halloween party that just keeps getting better and better with each passing year.

It was my first year shooting this event, and I couldn't have been more excited! Halloween mixed with live tunes and a camera in my hands, what could be better?!

This year's entertainment consisted of gritty rock and in-your-face punk tunes courtesy of The Offspring and One Bad Son. Tickets had completely sold out for this event, and it certainly showed. Both bands totally had the audience eating out of the palms of their hands as they hammered through their sets, seeming thrilled to be a part of the pre-Halloween fun.

A plethora of elaborate costumes filled the Shaw Conference Centre, making it entertaining to not only watch the bands, but to see everyone done up from heads to toes in well thought out Halloween garb. Needless to say, I had a blast shooting this event, and I can't wait to see what The Bear has in store for next year's Halloween Howler!

Ahh yes, the joys of starting off the week with a stellar show! Rise Against packed a punch down at the Shaw Conference Centre on Monday night to a full floor of people, and I loved every second of it. People of all ages attended this gig, and it warms my heart to have seen so many young people at this show with their parents, as the obvious love for aggressive music is passed on from generation to generation. Needless to say, this was an overall positive way to get the week started for more people than just me!
