Concert Review :: Winterruption :: Thursday Janurary 26 :: Bedtime, Virgo Rising, Motherhood

by Mike Thiessen

Energy was the theme of the night on Thursday, January 26 – both the respective energies of the bands themselves and the overall dynamic flow of the evening. Amping up for the second weekend of Real Love’s Winterruption, the Good Will was taken over by Bedtime, an up-and-coming dream pop duo, the thoroughly-beloved Virgo Rising, and New Brunswick’s very own “deep-thinkin’ rippers,” Motherhood. What appeared at first to be a somewhat bizarre (albeit fascinating) lineup proved to be a show for the ages.

Concert Review :: Circuitous album release. Feat Blessed, Stuck, Fold Paper

Blessed performing at the Good Will on Nov. 17, 2022

As the icy Winter wind whipped down Portage Avenue on November 17, a crowd of eager, cigarette-inhaling, primarily 20-somethings packed into the back of the Good Will Social Club for a night of post-punk brilliance.

Headliners Blessed–who had recently released their outstanding and anomalous new album Circuitous–were joined by underrated scene legends Stuck and Winnipeg newcomer Fold Paper for a night of effects-laden angular guitar rock that shook the entire building with unrelenting determination.

Concert Review :: Boy Golden and the Church of Better Daze

by Noah Cain

It is 4/20 in Winnipeg. Outside the West End Cultural Centre, the people shuffle and hop along slushy sidewalks. A Colorado Low approaches the Dakotas. It’ll reach us by the weekend, a cruel conclusion to what’s felt like a cruel April, a cruel winter, a cruel couple years.
