W.A.S.P. at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver
On October 30, W.A.S.P. brought an electric, gritty performance to Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre, treating fans to a full run-through of their debut album for the first time in 40 years. Dubbed the Album ONE Alive tour, this show was a rare throwback to the early days of W.A.S.P., with the first half dedicated to the raw energy of their self-titled record and the second packed with greatest hits that took the crowd on a journey through the band’s lengthy catalog.
Frontman Blackie Lawless led the charge, alongside bassist Mike Duda, guitarist Doug Blair, and drummer Aquiles Priester, proving that time has only sharpened the band’s edge. The stage set-up leaned into horror imagery – complete with skeletons, eerie props, and Lawless’ incredible mic-stand named Elvis – that gave the show a creepy, rock-theatre vibe, right on time for Halloween and the costumed fans. W.A.S.P. didn’t hold back on volume or intensity, with searing riffs and pounding drums that got everyone’s adrenaline up. Lawless brought his signature charisma, holding the crowd’s attention through intense rock anthems, keeping fans engaged with every twist and turn of the setlist.
After a brief intermission, the band returned to the stage for a “best-of” set, covering fan favourites from across their discography, ending with the hit “Blind In Texas.” The mix of heavier tracks and slower songs added a nice balance and let fans experience W.A.S.P.’s range beyond the raw anger of their debut.
For the ultimate experience, fans could snag VIP tickets here, which included a meet-and-greet with Blackie Lawless himself, along with photos, autographs, and a Q&A session. It’s was chance for fans to get up close with the legend and hear stories from the band’s decades-long career.
Last night, W.A.S.P. put on a great show that delivered both musically and theatrically, proving that even after four decades, they still know how to bring a crowd to life.
American heavy-metal band, Armored Saint opened the show. Frontman Josh Bush noted how grateful they were to be back in Vancouver, their last show here being in 1985!

Calum Scott Brings His ‘Avenoir Tour’ to the Wiltern in Los Angeles
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
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.
Head to Syd‘s website for more information on upcoming tour dates.
