Gallery – The Black Crowes at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On April 16th, legendary rock band The Black Crowes brought their ‘Happiness Bastards Tour’ to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC, in support of their latest album Happiness Bastards, their first studio album since 2009.
21-year-old rocker Billy Tibballs opened the night with tracks from his debut album Stay Tennage. His energy on stage was contagious and warmed up the crowd perfectly for the main act.
Around 9pm, The Black Crowes appeared on stage and kicked things into high gear right away. They started the show with “Bedside Manners”, the opening track of Happiness Bastards. Frontman Chris Robinson commanded the stage as he moved all over the stage, while his brother Rich enjoyed his time on side of the stage delivering incredible guitar solos.
The Black Crowes has made sure to entertain their fans on this tour by performing a different setlist every night. Yesterday, the audience got treated to the classic hits like “Hard To Handle” “She Talks To Angels”, new songs from Happiness Bastards like “Wanting And Waiting” and “Wilted Rose”, as well as a few surprise tracks like “She Gave Good Sunflower” and “Paint an 8”.
For the encore, the band played “God’s Got It”, a Reverend Charlie Jackson’s cover. The band put on an amazing show for an hour and half. It was great to see the Robinson Brothers having fun and getting along.
You can still catch a Black Crowes show before they end their North American run in Philadelphia on May 7 at The Met Philadelphia, before flying to Europe. All the info is on the band’s website.

Epik High Turns Vancouver’s Orpheum Into a Hip-Hop Party
Epik High brought its 3.0 Tour 2026 to Vancouver’s Orpheum on October 20, delivering a night of sharp lyricism, ridiculous humour and plenty of crowd interaction. With BOBO.XX opening the show, the Korean hip-hop trio proved that more than two decades into their career, they still know how to make a concert feel like a party among friends.
BOBO.XX, a musician and photographer who works on Epik High’s video and content, warmed up the audience with a taste of his own sound before handing the stage over to the headliners. Anticipation grew during the break, and the theatre erupted when Tablo, Mithra Jin and DJ Tukutz appeared for “High Technology,” followed by “One.”
The group’s chemistry was clear to everyone. Their introductions quickly turned into a comedy routine, complete with DJ Tukutz’s sound effects and playful jabs at one another. Tablo might be the trio’s longtime leader, but Tukutz had recently claimed the title through a band competition, giving the three plenty of material to work with.
That humour carried through the night. Fan-submitted Post-it challenges put the members on the spot, leading to dance covers, awkwardly adorable aegyo and plenty of laughter. The challenges often involved bending the rules, with multiple notes taped together and presented as a single request. The trio’s willingness to make fools of themselves made the audience feel like part of the show rather than spectators.
The music never took a back seat. Tracks such as “ANTIHERO,” “Rosario” and “BURJ KHALIFA” kept the room moving, with the group’s tight delivery matched by DJ Tukutz’s work behind the turntables. The mood shifted for more emotional performances, including “1 Minute, 1 Second” and Mithra Jin’s solo “Will I Be Okay?,” showing a more vulnerable side to the performers.
The most meaningful moment came when Tablo spoke about the group’s long journey. His message was simple: if Epik High could keep pushing forward after 22 years, fans could overcome their own obstacles, too. It gave “Born Hater” an extra punch.
The trio closed with an encore of “EPIKISM” and “Don’t Hate Me,” sending the crowd home smiling. Epik High’s strength lies in the balance between serious musicianship and complete silliness. They can deliver an emotional message one minute and turn a fan-requested dance challenge into a comedy show the next. At the Orpheum, that combination made for a concert that felt personal, unpredictable and a whole lot of fun.

Buffalo Traffic Jam at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto
There is something magical about voices matching the season. The excitement of walking up to the Danforth Music Hall on the perfect autumn night, only to be engulfed in raw, emotive rasp.
Lydia Maes really pulled me in. There’s such an emotional quality to her voice. The way she incorporates the saxophone and the way she hypnotizes the crowd. She played a beautiful set and then later came out with her fiddle, to join Buffalo Traffic Jam.
Colin Lynch completely caught me off guard, with a voice that sounds like he sells out stadiums. He’s young, but that soulful, raspy, depth speaks to every age.
Then came the one and only Buffalo Traffic Jam. Gritty, earthy harmonies took over the Danforth and the crowd was electrified. There’s something about their sound that feels both stripped down and warm at the same time, and the moment they started, we were all at their mercy.
