Gallery – The Last Dinner Party at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC
On March 10th, British rock band The Last Dinner Party brought their tour to a sold-out Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, BC to support their debut album Prelude to Ecstasy.
American indie-rock artist Miss Grit opened the night with a conceptual set casting various light patterns on an otherwise dark stage. With most of her face and body obscured, it brought her beautiful vocals to the forefront.
Around 9pm, the band, consisting of Abigail Morris (vocals), Emily Roberts (lead guitar), Lizzie Mayland (rhythm guitar), Georgia Davies (bass) and Aurora Nishevci (keyboards), appeared on stage amidst the dramatic intro of “Prelude to Ecstasy.” The band launched into high gear with “Burn Alive” and “Caesar on a TV Screen.” Led by Morris, all members made an extra effort with their outfits (re-used from their press photoshoots) and their stage presence.
For “Portrait Of A Dead Girl”, Morris requested the help of the audience for background vocals creating a palpable connection with the fans and elevating everyone’s experience.
The Last Dinner Party saved the best for last as they ended their 13-song set with their worldwide hit “Nothing Matters.” As their first headlining tour, the band delivered an unforgettable performance and solidify their status as one-to-watch.
The Last Dinner Party will end the North American leg of their tour on April 16th in San Francisco but will come back for a few more dates in the summer. More info on the band’s website.

The Dreggs close off “Heading Home Tour” in Perth!
Australian duo – The Dreggs – brought their Heading Home Tour to a close with a sold-out show at Metropolis Fremantle in Perth. It was a night full of good vibes, big smiles and plenty of energy, with the crowd giving the band a warm welcome from the very beginning.
The evening kicked off with two support acts, Ella Jones and Betty Taylor Band. Both delivered great sets, bringing plenty of energy to the room and getting the crowd ready for the main event.
When The Dreggs finally took the stage, the atmosphere only got better. The duo moved effortlessly between upbeat tracks like “Stay the Night” and “We Don’t Talk,” and more melancholic moments that gave the show a different, more intimate feel.
There was something special about the whole night. From the first songs to the final moments, the smiles on stage seemed to match those in the crowd. A sold-out venue, great support acts and a band clearly enjoying every second of it – a pretty perfect way for The Dreggs to wrap up their Heading Home Tour!

Olivia O’Brien Brings ‘The Pixie Tour’ to Pacific Electric in Los Angeles
While many people would likely agree with Garfield about hating Mondays, fans at Pacific Electric on Monday, November 2nd, probably disagreed. Eager fans of both Sophie Cates and Olivia O’Brien filled the room. Dressed in fairy wings and princess crowns, the night was guaranteed to be whimsical.
As the clock struck 8:00 pm, the lights began to dim. The crowd screamed as Sophie Cates took the stage. Singing songs from previous albums and from her upcoming album, this would be the first time that Sophie had been on stage in a couple of years. After releasing her debut album, Yikes! in 2019, Cates was later signed to RCA Records. Since then, she has released multiple EPs and her second studio album, “SUPERNOVA.” Sophie joined Olivia O’Brien on her North American tour for her new album, Pixie.
As we waited for Olivia to take the stage, some fans passed around little slips of purple paper. As each member of the crowd received a slip, a message was passed along: “When Icarus comes on, place this piece of paper in front of your camera light.” The sense of community among the fans felt surreal. To most, the purple cardstock creates a cool lighting effect, but to the fans, it creates an emotional atmosphere.
Soon after everyone received their slip of purple paper, Olivia was ready to take the stage. Dressed in her album’s theme, she wore a beautiful slip dress and her iconic pixie wings. O’Brien’s sophomore album, Pixie, is a 15-track record that explores projection and fantasy while confronting the manipulative patterns of past relationships. With questions about self-worth and identity, Olivia acknowledges her past relationship dynamics and struggles with letting go. Pixie also highlights the sense of betrayal and emotional abuse that come from toxic dynamics.
While Pixie may have been written about past relationship struggles and learning to navigate life as a girl in her mid-twenties, Olivia also drew inspiration from her childhood innocence. Stories like Percy Jackson sparked the fascination and curiosity that brought back a piece of childlike wonder.
