Edmonton’s own Ten Second Epic headlined a killer show in Canada’s Capital on March 28th, 2012. It was their first time back in Ottawa in a very long time, and as such they treated their fans with an extra long set (AND returned for an encore!), performing various songs from all of their albums throughout! Ottawa had not forgotten about TSE, and it was clear that TSE had not forgotten about Ottawa! Amazing set to say the least.
California’s Deafheaven came to Tampa Bay on their current tour with French metallers Alcest. With their ferocious mix of Black Metal, Indie Rock, Shoegaze and Screamo, the band made a huge positive impression on the crowd. They were promoting their debut recording Roads To Judah. Images snagged on a Nikon D-90, Nikkor Lens 19-105mmm f: 3.5 and Tamron 28-75 mm f:2.5.
Hunter City Madness killed in Brockville at the end of November. They played an insane set, and as a special treat for the audience, were even joined by Today I Caught The Plague’s vocalist Dave Journeaux for a song. Amazing performance from all members!

Canadian singer/songwriter LIGHTS stopped here in Ottawa to perform a killer set on November 23rd. The energy was amazing and the crowd was absolutely ecstatic to see her perform.

Insane show!
Lifestory : Monologue headlined at Cafe Dekcuf earlier this month and truly blew the whole crowd away. Amazing energy, amazing stage presence, one of the best sets I have seen in a long time. They really got the audience going and absolutely killed it. The slaughter was caught on a Nikon D90, 14-24mm f/2.8.
The Flatliners, one of my personal favourite bands, played an amazing show on the night of October 16th, co-headlining with Living With Lions.

Dinosaur Bones performed an amazing set on the night of October 7th, playing a number of songs off their latest release titled My Divider.

This Is A Standoff played an amazing and energetic set in Ottawa on the night of October 28th.

Broadway Calls, a three-piece punk-rock band from the States, performed a sick set at Mavericks in Ottawa last week. They opened for Living With Lions and The Flatliners and along with The Arteries, really set the energy for the night. Amazing performance! Images via a Nikon D90, 14-24 mm f/2.8.
UK punk band The Arteries put on an insanely fantastic show the other night, opening for headlining band The Flatliners. I had never heard of them before, but they absolutely blew me away and would love to see them back in Canada again soon! We snagged some pics on a Nikon D90; 14-24mm f/2.8.
The Strain, a young band who is fairly new to the Ottawa music scene, performed a great set at Mavericks on the night of October 7th. They came all the way from Wakefield to play and definitely started the night off on an amazing note! Their energy was shot with a Nikon D90, 14-24 mm f/2.8.
The Chariot KILLED IT in Montreal on Saturday. They performed on the floor right in the middle of the crowd, creating an absolutely insane show. This photographer was blown away (and not for the first time). I got these images with my Nikon D90, 14-24mm f.2.8 & 50mm f/1.8.
