When Darren and I first got inside, we noticed something very different about Venue that night. The crowd was from some mirror dimension, because it certainly didn’t reflect the image that I normally saw walking down Granville Street on a Friday night. There were plaid shirts, baseball caps, people were wearing glasses and as far [...]

What does Rammstein mean to you? For some it is freedom through music, a true release. For me it is nostalgia. When I think of Rammstein, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Du Hast’ from their second album ‘Sehnsucht’, released in 1997. I was just a young buck back then, still in high [...]

Wednesday night was truly one of the most intense days of my life. I dealt with a whole realm of emotional stress in my personal life, as someone close to me became very ill. I traversed through an emotional landscape, working through various levels of grief, sadness and even anger. After returning home I was [...]

On entering the Vogue Theater on Thursday evening, I was greeted by the muffled sounds of Oh No! Yoko reaching out through a sea of fans and red velvet seats, and in to the busy entrance hall. Up the stairs, past coat check, and down the darkened aisle’s I observed an audience of all ages, [...]
