Probably the final set of shots we’ve got for this band…This Day Burns officially retired a couple years back now. The players live on though, that’s for sure; as far as I know, Jon, Jasmine and Chris from TDB are all on to new projects…as for Skye, not entirely sure…he was in Vaultry right before […]Read More
Forever to be known as one of the raddest experiences we’ve ever witnessed – Man Made Lake playing live right in front of us for hours & hours in the ol’ SBS studio garage back in BC in 2014. They were hot off the release of their second record around then…and by the time all […]Read More
“He’s making a list, he’s checking it tw…..” You KNOW I’m checking my top ten list of the year a whole lot more than twice, that’s for sure! It is that magical, wonderful, most-awesome part of the year where we finally get to start releasing the nominations for 2018’s BEST NEW SOUND here at SBS, […]Read More
Vancouver’s own band of fusion-sound and pure energy, Abandon Paris makes their own special brand of Rock/Pop/Reggae & much more. Always a wild live show to check out with spectacular vocalists and killer players made up from veterans of the local-scene – take a look at some visual proof of that by taking a gander […]Read More
All good things, ladies and gentlemen, come to an end…as is the case for Victoria-based band Vaultry unfortunately. They had an amazing run…they had a history unlike many bands out there starting out…and all things said & done, they went on to put out two extremely killer records with the Coven EP and their album […]Read More
As most of you already know, we’d already moved sleepingbagstudios across Canada in early 2016 – but there’s very little that can keep us away from The Pit if we can help it! So in 2017, on a trip back home, the boys (Tyler Hutton – drums/Trevor Hutton – guitar) booked a last minute show […]Read More
Tucked underneath my beard, I still managed to keep the hidden camera pointed towards the stage clearly enough to capture the legendary set from when The Breeders toured the anniversary of their Last Splash record at The Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver in 2015. I didn’t know cameras weren’t allowed until I got in there…and given […]Read More
These champions! The twin badasses in heavy-rock/grunge-band The Pit filled in a bill with Blackout Lights opening up for Aztec returning to The Railway Club in 2015 – both openers on short notice, coming through like complete heroes at the last minute and crushing their sets for a crowd full of thirsty beer-swizzlin’ music-fans. It […]Read More
Word on the street is that the Modern Day Poets might be finished…but the legacy & memories live on! If you check out their last post on social media, it’s a bit cryptic to say the least…but it’s not without some hope either. It implies that if the band itself doesn’t carry on, that they’ll […]Read More
Recovering from the local craft beer festival this year here last night in Ottawa, and taking a Sunday off to celebrate my wife’s birthday – so here’s some shots of my mug throughout the sleepingbagstudios journey to keep you company whilst I’m away for twenty-four hours or so. Probably less…y’all know me…Read More
