July Talk visit to Scotiabank Arena a profound yet, bittersweet, experience
Going to see a July Talk concert these days, for me, is a bitter sweet experience. Let me explain. I first heard about July Talk on the back seat of a mate’s car (Hi Rob) around May 2014. I had no clue who they were or where had they been all my life but I had to see them and I had to see them NOW!!!.
Muse rocks Scotiabank Arena in Toronto
Muse came to Toronto and they brought the 80s back with them. The videos and cover art for their latest album, Simulation Theory, the production design for their arena tour and everything else seems to have been taken out of an 80’s arcade. With loads of neon-style pinks and greens throughout the entire show, It seemed I was watching a musical production of “Ready Player One” instead of a rock concert.
A conversation with Ellen DeGeneres
Earlier this month on a Sunday afternoon/evening, Ellen DeGeneres walked into Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. I had no idea what I was in for. Literally.
The place was packed. As I quickly realized, this crowd didn’t need any convincing. They were more than familiar with her than I was.

Sarah Brightman brings HYMN, an unforgettable spectacle, to Toronto
English classical crossover soprano, singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and musician Sarah Brightman visited Toronto in support of her latest album HYMN.

Nothing short of an unforgettable spectacle.

Arctic Monkeys return with new hair but same classic sound after 4 year abscence
The first thing I noticed when the band came on stage was Arctic Monkeys lead singer, Alex Turner, new hair style. Of all the many hairstyles Alex Turner has worn, I don’t think any have ever been as extreme as his latest. Alex shaved off his slicked-back “rico suave” do, bringing crew cut season to Toronto. A great choice given how hot it has been recently.
