Chromeo – Commodore Ballroom – February 10, 2011 I’ve seen very few bands that can built such positive energy in a crowd without even being on stage.

Andrew Allen – is ‘Loving You Tonight’
Andrew Allen – Commodore Ballroom – January 15, 2011 Great to see BC’s own up and coming singer songwriter Andrew Allen again in this opening slot before local icon’s Loverboy.

The Posies – 20 Years On
The Posies – Venue – December 10, 2010 Hard to believe Bellingham’s The Posies have been together over 20 years but that explains their comfort and ease onstage.

Chromeo – Won Over!
11Aug2010 – Chromeo at Commodore Ballroom (I forgot my camera so you’ll have to get a taste via the Momma’s Boy video instead) One word! Awesome! Such a fun show. I’d heard of and listened to Montreal based Chromeo a bit before and like their blend of retro style dance-pop so thought I’d take the…
Backsteet Boys w/ Dan Talevski & Shawn Desman
Backstreet Boys – Rogers Arena (formerly GM Place) – August 6, 2010 Friday night and thanks to a good friend I had two tickets to the Backstreet Boys show so May and I went off to our first show at the newly renamed Rogers Arena (the last event in the venue when named GM Place…
