WR203: Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

Earlier this month, we returned to The Handsome Daughter for a live Q&A panel on concert photography featuring some of Winnipeg's finest behind the camera: Dwayne Larson, Joey Senft, Jenny Ramone and Travis Ross. The well-attended show included a photo display in the venue, questions from the audience and some real insight into what the show-photo gig entails. Huge thanks to the Daughter, our panelists and the great audience.

WR198: Safe to Say

Dwayne Larson is back in the hosting chair this week with an episode he recorded with Brad (vocals/guitar) and Cory (guitar) of Ontario emo/alt-rockers Safe to Say when they were in town last month. They talk about their new record, being part of the Warped Tour, the rigours of touring, using their influence to stand up for their values and much more. As with some of our other 'recorded wherever we can' episodes, the audio on this one isn't exactly studio-quality (literally recorded on the band's bus while it was running), but it's a solid conversation and a good listen.

We’re also hosting a Q&A on local concert photography Oct. 16 at the Handsome Daughter and our third Big Mix-Up show Oct. 30 at the Park Theatre.

Show Review: Misery Signals at West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg, MB

"Misery Signals.... Now that's a name I bet you haven't heard in a very long time. Their latest release Absent Light was released in 2013 but before that the last proper full length the boys delivered was in 2008. This time around though its all about the past! Misery Signals is celebrating their 10th anniversary of Of Malice and the Magnum Heart with a cross Canada (and some US dates) featuring the original line up of the band and playing the album in its entirety."
