FLESHWATER at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles
Having just come off opening for a legendary band such as the Deftones, you think FLESHWATER would be riding high and resting on their laurels for what they’ve been accomplishing lately. You’d be far from wrong. FLESHWATER strolled in for 2 nights back to back at the Henry Fonda Theater, and brought along absolute chaos with them in openers BALMORA and CHAT PILE.
Opening the night would be Connecticut’s BALMORA. Bringing that nasty, yet tasty European / black melodic metal influence that is coming back around, the band proceeded to bring a nice blend of heavy and brutal music with a few traditional hardcore breakdowns. They may have been the openers, bathed in dark light, to showcase not only their mood, but their incredible live energy.
CHAT PILE brought some of the craziest and sludgiest noise I’ve personally ever seen. Formed just before the pandemic in 2019 in OKC, the band has a no prisoners attitude live on stage and record, truly showing how violent, yet honest their music can be. Raygun Busch decided to lose his shirt about 2 songs in, and never quite needs shoes to kick ass onstage. If you dig chaos, CHAT PILE is your jam.
Up next was Boston’s FLESHWATER. Featuring members of VEIN.FM, this band is an audio and visual assault live, and you can tell that touring with Deftones has possibly rubbed off on the band’s touring production. The band started off with “Drowning Song,” and exploded into “Green Street.” The band fired off snow into audience, while commencing into “Jetpack,” a song with a killer video on their recently released album 2000: In Search of The Endless Sky. Anyone that is a fan of Deftones and moodier groove tunes will find FLESHWATER in their music rotation.

Del Water Gap at the Theatre Beanfield in Montreal
Del Water Gap’s “Chasing the Chimera” tour is a perfect example of simple story-telling in a live music setting.
On January 30th, 2026, fans gathered together in Montreal’s Theatre Beanfield for the 9th stop of Del Water Gap’s Chasing the Chimera tour.
First, the audience was enchanted with an opening performance by Hannah Jadagu that got progressively more upbeat as her show went on. She thanked the crowd, claiming it was “one of the most energetic crowds thus far,” and put that energy to the test by asking the audience to sing along with her to the chorus of “All My Time Is Wasted.”
Finally, Del Water Gap took the stage, and the audience did an excellent job at upholding Montreal’s “loudest crowd” reputation. With a stacked 20 song setlist, ranging from fan-favourites such as “High Tops” and “Better Than I Know Myself,” to hidden gems like “Please Follow,” the audience buzzed along to every word and beat.
Although the stage production wasn’t huge, the set and lighting told a simple yet compelling story. The concert featured exciting fan moments as well, such as a sewing machine where Holden (singer) made a gift for a fan, a remote control to control the stage lights that was tasked to a fan for a song, and a moment where Holden jumped into the pit with fans during “Perfume.”
One of the biggest highlights of the night was a surprise cover of “Steal My Girl” by One Direction, which had every member of the crowd singing and cheering along.
With a final song, “Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat,” Del Water Gap thanked the audience for an incredible night, leaving the stage with a lasting energy that stuck with the crowd, even as they headed home.

Jade Lemac at the Theatre Beanfield in Montreal
On January 29th, 2026, fans young and old gathered together in Montreal’s Theatre Beanfield for Jade Lemac’s It’s Always at Night tour stop.
First, the audience sang and danced to a wonderful opening performance by Chiara Savasta, whose music complimented Lemac‘s, and definitely set the tone for the night. Her performance also included a cover of “Black Sheep” by Metric, which had everyone singing along in the crowd.
At 9pm, Jade Lemac took the stage with an opening performance of “Heaven’s Sake.” While singing, she took some time to interact with the crowd, throwing a few waves and hand hearts to audience members she recognized, or who were showing a lot of energy.
Lemac has the stage presence to not rely on theatrics in order to have a lasting concert. Her voice enchanted everyone in the room, and the moody lighting demonstrated well the energy and emotion she was reflecting in her music. There was even a small fan-project, as audience members brought pink balloons to throw in the air during her song “Pink Balloon,” performed
midway in the set.
Closing with fan-favourites including “Constellations” and “Running Home,” the audience cheered loudly as Lemac thanked everyone for coming out. This was Jade Lemac’s third performance in Montreal, and fans left the venue already awaiting the next!
