Jasper as Performed by The Malahat Revue

The Malahat Revue

So the CBC started doing this cool thing called Musical Nooners, where they get a band to play outside the Ceeb on the stage for an hour during weekdays...

The first one? Said The Whale, Hannah Georgas, Jeremy Fisher and Aidan Knight as The Malahat Revue before they began their bike tour to Vancouver Island.

Your Name In Lights

Hannah Georgas came back from tour and had her CD release at VENUE Nightclub on Saturday (22nd). Dave Vertesi and Colleen Brown opened the show for her:

Hannarama!

Hannah Georgas was over at Radio 3 the other day to record a podcast and hang out on Lana Gay's radio show, Lanarama (dubbed Hannarama for the day)...I tagged along to take some on air shots of the girls (Amanda Ash appeared as well, so it was quite the girl party).

Hannah is on tour right now, and has her Vancouver CD Release lined up for May 22nd at Venue, which will be QUITE the party! Click here for tickets.



Love this girl.

Skating Party!

Radio 3 had a skating party at Robson Square the other day. Hannah, Dan Mangan & Dan Moxon were there, as well as the R3 kids...

Had an excellent time skating around with Hannah...took this shot of us under the skylight dome:


More shots on Flickr...yes, I caved, but I don't think I will be using it for much, besides stuff like this.

One Night Stand II

For a second year in a row some of Vancouver's best came together on New Years Eve to play some covers, drink some booze and have a ton of fun.

I was asked to set up a photo booth for the evening, which ended up being a source of great amusement and hilarious photos.


It was truly a amazing night (I even played cowbell/tambourine for a few songs, and sang Hey Jude with the ensemble on stage at the end of the night).

and for kicks, here's the video that I shot of the band/ladies covering M.I.A.'s Paper Planes:

Lovely Laura

I went to the Biltmore to see my wonderfully talented friend Laura Smith play, and was treated to a great evening of music and friends.

In addition to Laura, I managed to finally see Elias play live (complete with Adaline cameo!) and Bodhi Jones for the first time after being solicited for Peak Performance votes.

Some of the best of Vancouver's music scene were there too (Hannah Georgas, JP Maurice, James Lamb, Josh McNorton, to name drop a few).

I had a wonderful time and here are some photos of that evening:

A Day At The Ceeb

On the 4th of December (which is actually my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday Mum!) I spent ...around 6 hours at the newly renovated CBC Vancouver building, which they opened up to the public for a day!

The main goal of the day was to (at the prompting of Sas) find, and have my photo taken with, Ian Hanomansing(h). In addition to this I spent a lot of my time in the Radio 3 studio broadcast, watching Said The Whale and Hannah Georgas perform live to air, and to the visitors to the building.

I also finally met up with Bob from VancouverIsAwesome.com as he was being interviewed for Grant Lawrence's show.

It was a pretty awesome day/a total geek out looking behind the scenes and meeting some great people (plus Chris Kelly got me my R3 t-shirt and touque!)
All of the photos from the day can be found here: www.mcavoy.ca/CBCOpenHouse ... and here are a few of my favs:

Islands Disappear

My lovely friends Said The Whale had their Vancouver CD Release Show this week at St. James Hall, complete with Hannah "Gorgeous" Georgas opening for them.

It was an excellent show with many friends and family and some of the Vancouver music scene elite...
