It is always great to see a local band pierce the market. They get the recognition and attention that their music deserves. The turnout on Saturday night at the Theatre Fairmount for Elephant Stone was a testament to a hard working, soon to be big band. Inspired by traditional Indian music (the citar playing is… Continue reading Elephant Stone | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer

EL VY | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
The collaborative project called EL VY, which consists of Matt Berninger (frontman of The National) and Brent Knopf (of Menomena) made their first appearance in Montreal last night, supporting their recently released Return to the Moon. They played in front of a well packed crowd of 500+ at Montreal’s Theatre Fairmount. The venue is a great venue to… Continue reading EL VY | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
Unknown Mortal Orchestra | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
With their recently released Multi-Love album, Unknown Mortal Orchestra (often referred to as UMO because it is just waaay shorter to write) was on stage a few nights ago at Montreal’s Theatre Fairmount. I’ll be honest, I had never heard of the band prior to being hired to cover the gig for Exclaim! magazine. I was… Continue reading Unknown Mortal Orchestra | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
Gateway Drugs | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
No, this isn’t about the theory where using soft drugs will lead to hard drugs (sorry, just finished watching Big Bang Theory, so my brain is in geek mode). The LA based drug pop group (seriously, labels are just getting weirder) Gateway Drugs has been getting some decent airplay on local rock station CHOM 97.7,… Continue reading Gateway Drugs | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
Swervedriver – colour vs black and white | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
I’m a huge fan of colour in my concert images. I rarely go black and white as I feel that the lights, typically chosen by the artist, not only add to the show for the fans, but if played off of well, can add a great deal to my photos. Maybe it’s the photo journalist… Continue reading Swervedriver – colour vs black and white | Theatre Fairmount | Montreal Concert Photographer
Nosaj Thing + Clark | Fairmount Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
After a series of punk rock shows, some indie music and some death metal, it was a fun change of pace shooting Nosaj Thing, as well as Clark, at the Fairmount Theatre last night / this morning (yes, the show was a weeee bit late and even with the 2 song restriction, I got… Continue reading Nosaj Thing + Clark | Fairmount Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Hollerado | Cabaret Mile End | Montreal Concert Photographer
I fiiiiiinaly had the chance to shoot canadian indie rockers Hollerado tonight at the Cabaret du Mile End. I had missed their set opening for Billy Talent at the Bell Centre and didn’t have pit access at Osheaga this year. So when I saw their name on a media “to shoot” list, I jumped on… Continue reading Hollerado | Cabaret Mile End | Montreal Concert Photographer
Show: Japandroids | Cabaret du Mile End | Montreal Music Photographer
The Japandroids were one of my top bands of the year turned into one of my top shows of the year. It was a Monday night, it was cold and snowy. But yet, the Cabaret du Mile End was packed! It kinda showed that the band had been touring pretty heavy as Brian King’s voice was… Continue reading Show: Japandroids | Cabaret du Mile End | Montreal Music Photographer
Show: DIIV | Cabaret Mile-End | Pierre B Photo | Montreal Photographer
DIIV had the fun of warming up the crowd at the Cabaret du Mile-End tonight for the Japandroids. They showed up a weee bit late, but were apologetic to the crowd. I guess on the plus side, as most people tend to show a little later, the crowd was pretty filled in.
