Indies, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship ‘Vibe’. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new venues, to seek out new bands and new music forms, to boldly go where no mag has gone before.
Set phasers to “RAWK”

I don’t like leaving the Galt part of Cambridge.. For me to venture to Kitchener to watch a show is not something I do with any joy, but this was well worth the journey. I walked into Molly Blooms expecting the venom spitting vixen who, with her band The Stone Angels, opened at the Velvet [...]

We will be doing several live webcasts or “vibecasts” tonight, and invite you to join us. Ian R, Ian M, Kerry, Naku and I are going to The Boathouse to catch Lucas Stagg and Paul MacLeod. A few of The Stone Angels are going to stop in, then some of us are going to Molly [...]

Ian and I have known for awhile that there is far too much going on for just the two of us to cover. We have assembled a team freelance photojournalists, videographers and tech consultants that would make any local publication envious.

Ian recently mentioned to me the inordinate number of so called “benefit concerts” that are happening in our community that we are asked to promote. I was relatively unaware of the situation, as this usually Ian’s department while I focus on features, but I have paid more attention since he mentioned it, and I have [...]

We were contacted by Steve Rollins from the Cambridge Band Lift and ask to help publicize this very special cause. Randy Wilson passed on February 15th. He left behind a pregnant wife and 2 children.
Dear Sir/Madam,
If there’s one special thing about our community that sets us apart, it’s our willingness to offer support when someone [...]

Tonight was the first show for Ian and I. We have spent the better part of the last year going to all kinds of shows in local venues. I would like to hear the opinions of the musicians, the people who were there, and the people who watched online.  The only way we can get [...]
