INTERVIEW: Augustines
There are three words often associated with the music of Augustines: anthemic, honest, and emotive. Augustines consists of lead singer Billy McCarthy, multi-instrumentalist Eric Sanderson, and drummer Rob Allen. The band was formerly known as We Are Augustines, but has come full circle with their name and self-titled sophomore release. The name is a testament to the journey the band has been on since their formation, under the ashes of McCarthy and Sanderson’s previous band.

STRING FLING II, Rio Theatre – February 6, 2014
There was magic in the air at the Rio Theatre last Thursday night. By magic, I mean a group of wonderfully talented individuals including the Four on the Floor quartet and an array of local musicians creating musical euphoria. The evening was tied together by strings, and certainly left the audience wanting more.

Fifth Harmony are opening for Demi Lovato’s Neon Lights Tour, which kicks off in Vancouver this Sunday at Rogers Arena. We had the opportunity to chat with Camila Cabello and Dinah Jane Hansen yesterday. The full interview will be up in the next few days, but until then, enjoy their playlist picks.
