The Blue Stones at The Park Theatre in Winnipeg
The Blue Stones brought their North America Metro tour to Winnipeg on May 29, with support from The Darcys. The Ontario-based duo of Tarek Jafar and Justin Tessie left The Park Theatre with a distinct taste of indie-rock and a night to remember. With their first show being sold out, they had added a second Winnipeg show the day before.
Before the show started, the duo brought one VIP ticket holder cake as special gesture. That commitment and closeness sums up why The Blue Stones is going places.
First, The Darcys took the stage opening with “Dreaming.” The Toronto/ LA duo did a phenomenal performance. Vocalist Jason Couse kept the crowd locked in, entertaining the crowd and making them laugh. The fans responded by changing his name “Couse” to “Booooos” as a joke! Still, songs like “1986,” and “Talking” took the spotlight.
Then it was time for the main event, The Blue Stones. Before they hit the stage, they played “Metro 47” and as soon as it ended they played “Your Master.” The smooth transition was seamless, very similar to listening to the album. Some of the songs from Metro instantly hit it off to the crowd such as “Come Apart,” “Happy Cry.” Obviously, the set leaned hard on newer tracks, but for the encore they performed some of their OG songs like “Black Holes,” “Let it Ride,” and “Don’t Miss.”
Before the show, they brought one VIP ticket holder cake as special gesture. That commitment and closeness sums up why this duo is going places.
The Metro album now stands as one of their greatest releases. The sold-out show is proof of how hard they’ve worked to connect with fans. Catch them live if you want to experience a Canadian indie-rock duo.

The Scratch Bring ‘Pull Like A Dog’ World Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver
Irish folk-metal chaos took over the Commodore Ballroom on May 22 as The Scratch delivered one of the loudest and most relentlessly energetic sets the venue has seen this year.
Fresh off the release of their third album, Pull Like A Dog, the Dublin four-piece arrived in Vancouver with the kind of reputation that makes people show up early and brace themselves for impact. Within seconds of opener “Pullin’ Teeth,” the floor split open into a swirling pit that barely stopped moving for the next hour and a half. The band’s mix of heavy riffs, acoustic guitars, trad Irish melodies, and raw punk intensity totally worked live.
Frontman and percussionist Daniel Lang spent most of the night perched on his battered cajón at centre stage, hammering away while barking vocals back at the crowd. Around him, guitarists Conor Dockery and Gary Regan and bassist Cathal McKenna pushed the room into full pub-session-meets-hardcore-show territory.
Tracks like “Pull Like A Dog,” “Cheeky Bastard,” and “Another Round” were highlights, turning the Commodore into a wall of jumping bodies. Yet the night wasn’t all chaos. A quieter run through Christy Moore’s “Joxer Goes to Stuttgart” and Dominic Behan’s “McAlpine’s Fusiliers” highlighted the band’s deep connection to Irish folk storytelling, giving the set some emotional weight beneath all the sweat and noise.
By the encore, which included a ripping cover of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” the room looked completely spent. The Scratch created the feeling that the entire room was in on something together, somewhere between a punk show and a pub singalong.

Good Kid Bring ‘Can We Hang Out?’ Tour to MTelus in Montreal
On May 19th, 2026, fans packed into MTELUS for the Montreal stop of Good Kid’s Can We Hang Out? tour. This is the second headline show the band has had in Montreal, the first being at Le Studio TD for their This Can’t Be The End tour.
First up was an opening performance by Glitter Party, which faced no difficulty in setting the tone for the night. A set filled with colourful lights, movement, and captivating vocals, matched well with Good Kid’s style, both in performance and music, leaving fans bouncing in anticipation for the main act.
After a charming reading of a couple pages from “The Hobbit” by lead vocalist Nick Frosst as the stage was being set up, the band began the set, opening with “Wall”. Immediately, there was no doubt that this would be a night to remember. The band came out in style, and the energy built up instantly through flashing lights, jumps and head-bangs.
Being from Toronto, the band earned laughs as they expressed they were happy to be back in
Canada after touring in the US, and had the crowd erupting in cheers as they congratulated the city on the Montreal Canadiens hockey win the night before.
The night continued with back-to-back hits, including “Cicada”, “Summer”, of course, “From The Start”, and finally closing the set with “Mimi’s Delivery Service”.
Good Kid sets an incredible standard of immersing a crowd in their world, from an elaborate stage design, beautiful merch that matches their aesthetic, to lots of crowd involvement including a wave of death and lots of crowd surfing! Although for many, Good Kid was not their first concert, it is very safe to say it was one of their favourites!
