Osheaga 2017: Day 2: Broken Social Scene, Pup, Cage The Elephant, Liam Gallagher, Dawes and more - Concert Photos

The fine folks at Canadian Beats asked me to come along and cover Osheaga with them. The chance to attend and photograph the biggest festival of my experience was one I couldn't turn down. In spite of the rain, I had a great time and would cover the festival again in a heartbeat. I loved the overall vibe of the festival, the amazing performers and I always love Montreal.

The full coverage is over at Canadian Beats. Their recap of the festival is here, the day two post is here and the full Facebook album is here.

Here's a collection of other photos that I took on Day 2 of Osheaga 2017.

Emerging: An Horse

An Horse, is an Australian band that I became aware of in the past several months. I think it was a blog post over at Chromewaves that first mentioned the band to me.

The first song I heard was the first single, "Camp Out". There's video of it being performed on Letterman. Based on the strength of that track and the samples on iTunes, I picked up the album.

Here's the official "Camp Out" video. Great song.


Overall, the album is very strong. The simple instrumentation and strong vocals really make the songwriting shine through. Their latest single is "Postcards".

An Horse are in Toronto opening for Cage the Elephant and Silversun Pickups on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at Sound Academy.  Tour dates at the bands' sites.

Here' the video for Cage the Elephant's "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked"



Lots of Silversun Pickups videos on their video page. If you're new to these guys, I'd recommend starting with "Lazy Eye" from Carnarvas and "Panic Switch" from their new one, Swoon.
