2019 MUSIC PREVIEW: Ozzy! Priest! Skynyrd! Ariana!
The Big Three – can we call them the Big Three? Yes! – THE BIG THREE shall rock Edmonton this summer. Name other metal legends so widely known by only one name: Ozzy, Priest, Maiden – this trifecta alone will make 2019 a huge year for classic heavy metal in Edmonton. Ozzy Osbourne, age 70, […]
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 […]

EDMONTON THEATRE 2018: The Colin MacLean Awards
If the Alberta economy is in tatters, it would be hard to tell from the number of plays and musicals to grace our stages this year. Theatre budgets may be suffering and costs ballooning, but we fortunate Edmonton theatre-goers have enjoyed a mountain range of productions. Like our Rockies, some were high, others not so […]
YEAR END REVIEW: 6 great Edmonton Bands
Edmonton’s music scene continues its journey towards becoming ever more diverse, and more noteworthy. Some of the world’s biggest music blogs and podcasts continue to reference some of our bands. This year Major Love was perhaps the most noteworthy of those, getting some serious love from the UK’s The Line Of Best Fit. The latter […]
End of a Comics Era: Happy Harbor closing
Happy Harbor wasn’t “just a store that sells comics,” as owner Jay Bardyla humbly puts it. It was a cultural institution in this town – and news of its closing has hit the local comics community hard. It’s a huge loss for Edmonton. Happy Harbor didn’t just sell comics. They nurtured new readers with a […]
