Gwar at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver

Published

on

In typical fashion, GWAR turned the Vogue Theatre into a full-blown war zone on October 29, soaking the Vancouver crowd in gallons of fake blood and alien fluids during their Return of Gor Gor Tour. The intergalactic shock rockers, now 40 years deep into their reign of absurdity, proved once again that no one blends satire, metal, and gore quite like they do.

Led by Blöthar the Berserker (Michael Bishop), the band exploded onto the stage immediately baptizing the front row in red spray. From there, the carnage only escalated and many puppets all met their grisly ends as the crowd screamed for more. Fans came prepared in white T-shirts, ready to leave looking like extras from a horror movie, which, frankly, they were.

The set leaned heavy on new tracks from The Return of Gor Gor, including “Lot Lizard” and “Tyrant King,” alongside cult favourites like “Saddam a Go-Go,” “Bring Back the Bomb,” and the closer “Sick of You.” When the monstrous T-Rex Gor Gor appeared mid-show, the place erupted in pure chaos.

Under all the slime and shock, GWAR remain killer musicians. The riffs from Balsac the Jaws of Death and Grodius Maximus were razor-sharp, and Jizmak da Gusha’s drumming hit like artillery fire. Four decades in, the Scumdogs of the Universe still deliver the wildest, weirdest spectacle in metal.

Calum Scott Brings His ‘Avenoir Tour’ to the Wiltern in Los Angeles

CalumScott-LosAngeles-2026-6

Calum Scott took the Wiltern stage in Los Angeles on April 3rd, 2026, for his Avenoir Tour.

Calum Scott is a British singer-songwriter who first gained attention on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015, where his emotional cover of “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn became a global hit. Known for his powerful vocals and deeply personal songwriting, Scott blends pop with raw, heartfelt storytelling. His music often explores themes of love, identity, and self-acceptance, earning him a dedicated global fanbase and chart success with songs like “You Are The Reason.”

The theatre filled, and by 9 o’clock everyone was ready to dance, laugh, and cry together. The sense of community was in the air as many of the fans related to the vulnerability in Scott‘s music.

He performed a variety of songs from his discography: some new songs and his hits. My favorite moment was his stripped-back set, when he sang “No Matter What,” a song about him coming to terms with who he was. Tears began to fall throughout the crowd. What a meaningful night for music in Los Angeles.

Syd Taylor at The Belasco in Los Angeles

Published

SydTaylor-LosAngeles-25

On Tuesday, March 31st, The Belasco in Downtown LA was packed with fans from both near and far. Syd Taylor, an indie-rock artist from Michigan, supported Goldie Boutilier on her North American tour, The King of Possibilities. From February 24th to April 4th, Syd opened for Boutilier at sixteen sold-out shows.

As Syd’s bandmates stepped onto the stage, the crowd erupted with cheers and chants of “Syd, Syd, Syd!” Soon after, Syd Taylor confidently walked across the stage in her stylish outfit, smiling brightly. She kicked off her set with songs from her new album, “After the Fact,” starting with “Love of Your Life,” then “Time to Go,” and “Leave Me Out of It.”
After parting ways with Stereo Jane, a band heavily inspired by ’90s rock—formed by Syd and her twin sister Emilia, known as Mia—Syd felt a strong desire to find her own artistic and personal identity.

Inspired by bands like Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles, Syd finally broke free from external expectations—no longer told which genre to pursue, whom to share her demo with, or how to present herself on stage. As her own producer, songwriter, and guitarist, she spent three months drawing inspiration from her Los Angeles apartment and charting her own creative path. This ultimately led to her releasing her debut album “After the Fact.”

Syd once said that, during the process of making this album, she felt this was “the first time that [she had] been able to sit down and create something for [herself].” Syd had previously felt like she was prioritizing others and wanted to get as far away from that mindset as possible.

To create an album as raw and reflective as “After the Fact,” Syd needed to discover her artistic style. This led her to find confidence in this new era of her career.
