TICTP Tour – Ottawa [Final Date]

January 19th, 2012 § 0

I suppose this is my last official tour post for this one! I realize it took my a bit to get them all up online, and I apologize to you all for making you wait. Work is work, and unfortunately I haven’t been able to make freelance photography my full time job just yet. I had such a great time on this tour and I cannot wait to hit to road again in the future.

Ottawa was the final stop on the tour. I had a day off prior while the boys played Montreal because of work, but couldn’t miss the hometown show. TICTP pretty much sells out any show in Ottawa now. They are so loved by the hometown fans, it’s really amazing to see! I had a blast because I got to enjoy them one last time but this time with my friends from the city!

They used their own lights for their hometown set, which is always great! The lighting is terrible in Maverick’s, so I love when bands bring their own rig. Final photos from the tour, enjoy!

TICTP TOUR – Kingston

January 18th, 2012 § 0

After St-Catharine’s we had a day off in Toronto, which we spent gallivanting around and eating/drinking a lot – Those photos will come another time. The next day, we made our way to Kingston. The weather in Toronto was amazing, but it quickly changed once we left the GTA and arrived in Kingston. Freezing rain and shitty streets were waiting for us, which made the drive home after the show a little more stressful.

Kingston was an interesting stop on the tour. I had never been to Kingston, so I didn’t really know what to expect from the Mansion as a venue. It was a very small place, definitely the smallest venue on the tour. It was so small that the venue didn’t have enough channels for Devin’s mics, so he ended up playing an amazing 2 hour acoustic set for his fans. TICTP however did have the chance to play their full set and killed it. Any stage, big or small, these guys still manage to make it work and the crowd loved it!

TICTP TOUR – St-Catharines

January 5th, 2012 § 0

St-Catharine’s was a very interesting show. The crowd was definitely the most intense one we had seen, but the stage was also the smallest I have ever seen. Mike’s drums had to be sideways facing Matt’s keyboard and Steve and Eric were basically spooning on stage (they don’t usually do that). But none the less, a great time.
This show was following the Opera House, where we ended up going out to our friends TTR afterwards for a pretty hilarious night (camera not present), so some of the guys were a little tired. Mike’s sex eyes were in full effect however (see below), may have been because HK was sitting beside him, not sure.

St-Catharine’s is a weird place. This show was on a sunday night, and I know in most small towns stores usually close at around 5 or 6, but in St-Catharine’s, EVERYTHING is closed by like 4. It was weird, basically turns into a ghost town after 4pm on sundays.

Kingston photos are coming as are the photos from the homecoming show, so stay tuned.

TICTP Tour – London, Ontario (BTS)

December 10th, 2011 § 0

I mentioned in my last post that I would be joining my good friends in Today I Caught The Plague on their southern Ontario tour with Devin Townsend. Last night was a great start to the tour. The guys played an amazing first set and any jitters they had before going on were not noticeable in the slightest. It was my first time in London and was pretty impressed with the London Music Hall, great lighting setup and lots of space.

Tonight we will be at the Opera House, a venue I’ve been wanting to shoot in since I first started taking photos! Should be a crazy one!

woke up to this…

Hitting the road!

December 5th, 2011 § 0

So it’s been almost 2 months since my last post, I know. A hell of a lot has happened since then! Since October, I’ve decided to take time away from University to focus on other important things in my life – one of them being photography. I’ve spent the last 3 years being ridiculously stressed and miserable because of how much I disliked what I was studying, and I felt it was time to take a step back and reassess my current situation.

Now with that being said, I have some really big projects in the works right now that I am extremely excited about. I will remain vague for the time being, but you can all start getting excited too (just do it).

This THURSDAY, I am hitting the road on a 5 day Southern Ontario tour with my good friends in Today I Caught The Plague (also photos here)while they support the great Devin Townsend! I’ve been working like a madman lately, so I’m looking forward to getting out of Ottawa for a few days with some of the best people I know! I will be documenting every date on the second half of Devin’s tour with the exception of Montreal, so check the dates here and come say hi!

I have photos coming up from Frenzy on friday for the annual Let It Snow party as well as some other little things I’ve been working on! I’m going to make a point of writing a post every week starting in January!
