Gallery – Alkaline Trio at The Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On March 24th, American punk rock band Alkaline Trio brought their ‘Blood, Hair, And Eyeballs’ tour to the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC.
Alkaline Trio had post-hardcore band Drug Church as support. The band consist of Patrick Kindlon, Nick Cogan, Cory Galusha, Chris Villeneuve, and Pat Wynne. They had a the perfect amount of energy and charisma to hype up the room for the main act.
Around 9:30pm, Alkaline Trio (Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano and new drummer Atom Willard) appeared on stage under the screams of the crowd. They launched right away into their set with “Hot For Preacher” from their 10th studio album Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs released earlier this year. Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs is their new full-length album since Matt Skiba left Blink-182.
They played tracks from their extensive discography, including fan favourites like “Mercy Me”, “Radio” and “Mercy Me”. The crowd sang along to every song, old and new, throughout the band’s 90-minute set. A stripped-down rendition of “Fuck You Aurora” allowed for more profound connection with the audience.
Alkaline Trio put on an electric show last night that will leave an indelible mark on the audience. Alkaline Trio will end the US leg of their tour in Las Vegas on March 30th before jumping over the pond for the European leg. More info on their website.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!

Olivia O’Brien Brings ‘The Pixie Tour’ to Pacific Electric in Los Angeles
While many people would likely agree with Garfield about hating Mondays, fans at Pacific Electric on Monday, November 2nd, probably disagreed. Eager fans of both Sophie Cates and Olivia O’Brien filled the room. Dressed in fairy wings and princess crowns, the night was guaranteed to be whimsical.
As the clock struck 8:00 pm, the lights began to dim. The crowd screamed as Sophie Cates took the stage. Singing songs from previous albums and from her upcoming album, this would be the first time that Sophie had been on stage in a couple of years. After releasing her debut album, Yikes! in 2019, Cates was later signed to RCA Records. Since then, she has released multiple EPs and her second studio album, “SUPERNOVA.” Sophie joined Olivia O’Brien on her North American tour for her new album, Pixie.
As we waited for Olivia to take the stage, some fans passed around little slips of purple paper. As each member of the crowd received a slip, a message was passed along: “When Icarus comes on, place this piece of paper in front of your camera light.” The sense of community among the fans felt surreal. To most, the purple cardstock creates a cool lighting effect, but to the fans, it creates an emotional atmosphere.
Soon after everyone received their slip of purple paper, Olivia was ready to take the stage. Dressed in her album’s theme, she wore a beautiful slip dress and her iconic pixie wings. O’Brien’s sophomore album, Pixie, is a 15-track record that explores projection and fantasy while confronting the manipulative patterns of past relationships. With questions about self-worth and identity, Olivia acknowledges her past relationship dynamics and struggles with letting go. Pixie also highlights the sense of betrayal and emotional abuse that come from toxic dynamics.
While Pixie may have been written about past relationship struggles and learning to navigate life as a girl in her mid-twenties, Olivia also drew inspiration from her childhood innocence. Stories like Percy Jackson sparked the fascination and curiosity that brought back a piece of childlike wonder.
