July Talk Bring ‘Touch X Tour’ to the Bronson Music Theatre in Ottawa
On March 25, July Talk brought their Touch X Tour: Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Touch to a sold-out Bronson Music Theatre in Ottawa.
The night opened with a steady, rootsy set from Julianna Riolino. Her warm vocals and understated delivery gave the room time to settle in, easing the audience into what would soon become a far more volatile atmosphere.
When July Talk hit the stage, the tone shifted instantly. The band leaned into the 10-year legacy of Touch, performing the album front to back. It gave the set a sense of structure, but nothing about the performance felt too rigid, especially in the second half of the show. From the jump, the push-and-pull chemistry between Leah Fay and Peter Dreimanis took over, with her theatrical movements and piercing vocals colliding with his gravelly intensity.
One of the most striking elements of the night was Fay’s stage presence while visibly pregnant. It didn’t slow her down in the slightest. She moved across the stage with a mix of control and abandon, at times swaying with a softer touch, then snapping right back into the band’s usual feral energy. The contrast added a new layer to the performance without ever pulling focus from the music itself.
Tracks like “Beck + Call” and “Picturing Love” hit with the same urgency they had a decade ago, while “Push + Pull” turned the floor into a sea of movement. By the time they reached “Lola + Joseph,” the crowd was fully locked in, feeding off every gesture between the two frontpeople.
Midway through, the band slipped in newer material, including songs from Love Isn’t Dead, a previously unreleased companion record to Touch. Rather than feeling like leftovers, these tracks blended seamlessly into the set and proved they still hold up.
After closing the album portion with “Touch,” the band loosened up. “Summer Dress” sparked a loud singalong, and deeper cuts added variety without losing momentum. The encore brought things home with a punch, ending on “The Garden,” which left the room buzzing.
This Anniversary Tour showed that July Talk still thrives in the chaos they create, and the crowd is more than happy to get swept up in it.

Black Label Society Delivers a Thunderous Night at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre
Black Label Society turned the Orpheum Theatre into a full-on metal sanctuary on March 17, with Zakk Wylde pulling double duty in a night that never really let up.
The evening opened with Dark Chapel, led by BLS guitarist Dario Lorina. The set was short but sharp, with “Afterglow” quickly grabbing attention. Lorina stepped out of the sideman role and owned the stage, showing off a gritty vocal that caught plenty of people off guard.
Then came Zakk Sabbath, Wylde’s love letter to Black Sabbath. The trio ripped through staples like “Children of the Grave” and “War Pigs,” with Wylde stretching solos into wild, high-speed territory all while jumping into the crowd several times. The set ended up turning into both a tribute and a celebration.
By the time Black Label Society hit the stage, the energy was already high. They leaned into both new and classic material, including the crushing “Name in Blood” from their upcoming album Engines of Demolition. The biggest reaction came during “No More Tears,” a track Wylde helped write during his years with Ozzy Osbourne, which had the entire room locked in.
The whole night was loud, a little chaotic, and exactly what fans showed up for.

IMBERMIND Bring Album ‘Never Ending’ to Buenos Aires on their Argentina Tour 2026
During their Argentina Tour 2026, the band IMBERMIND made their debut in the country. The tour began in Mar del Plata and continued this weekend with their own show at the HiFi room of the ArtLab cultural space in Buenos Aires.
The group presented their debut album Never Ending, which features 11 songs and blends electronic music, pop, and cinematic elements. Edu, Luis, Nico, and Álvaro opened the show with “Understand” and continued with several tracks from the album, including “Never Ending,” “Godlike Man,” “Imbernation,” and “It Feels.”
The HiFi room at ArtLab allowed the audience to stand just a few steps away from the band, making their presence felt from the very first song. The venue’s high-fidelity sound system ensured that each track could be heard with all the nuances of the record, and the crowd followed every song through to the end.
To close out their time in Argentina, IMBERMIND will perform this Saturday, March 14, on the Perry’s Stage at Lollapalooza Argentina 2026, where they will wrap up their Argentina Tour 2026.
