MUSIC PREVIEW: Feel the Bern
Since his first release in 1997, Dan Bern has been working non-stop on his craft, putting out album after album (he’s got some two dozen now), doing work on film and television scores, and he’s even found time to be an influential painter, with works hanging in the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library. He also wrote […]
Def Leppard comes to Edmonton in July
Here’s one classic heavy metal band that isn’t going to be staging a farewell tour any time soon – Def Leppard. The great survivors from Sheffield are going on a Canadian tour again this summer, stopping in at Rogers Place on Monday, July 29.

PLAYBOT: Sweat hits Alberta nail on the head
So now we wonder when seeing a yellow vest: “Is that a protester or just a construction guy?” Terribly confusing.

The Illusionists razzle dazzle Edmonton
The art of illusion is probably as old as civilization itself. Once the province of wizards and enchanters, it became a popular entertainment in the hands of Thurston and Houdini in the early years of the 20th Century – known now as “The Golden Age of Magic.” As our culture and society advances, seeing something […]
End of the YEAR
It was another year of highs and crushing lows for End of the Earth. Edmonton continues to crank out ridiculous ideas that provide great fodder for cartoonists. Here are some of my favourite scribbles from the year that was – C.H. (Click on the small comic to read a bigger one): Maybe the Instant […]
