Stratovarius coming to EDMONTON????
Wow. So anyone else who’ll be in Edmonton on October 2nd needs to pay attention. Stratovarius is coming to town! For those who don’t know, Stratovarius is one of Europe’s biggest names in the melodic metal genre – they have something like 11 CDs currently out with a 12th one being released in the near future.
The band is apparently deciding to finally try a North American tour – and they are hitting *several* Canadian towns. This is a band that is used to playing huge rock concerts with thousands of people cheering for them on the big stage. So to catch these guys in a city where a lot of people have never even heard of them is pretty crazy. Especially in the small Starlite Room venue!
If you haven’t heard of Stratovarius, but like some heavy metal music without the screaming, check them out. If you’re interested, you should check out the show – its only $25 a ticket, and there’s no telling whether they will be back or not!

Wow this took awhile to get around to doing. This past weekend I had the chance to check off the third of my five favourite european metal bands off my “I must see these bands” list. I was truly surprised to find out that Nightwish was coming to Edmonton to play a sold out show [...]

A few months ago, Diane asked me if I wanted to go to a concert with her in April. It was an awfully long time in the future, but I booked it in. Last night was the concert in question, and it turned out we were there to see a fiddler by the name of [...]

This was a long time coming. I’ve been so busy this last week that I haven’t had a chance to talk about the latest Sonata Arctica concert here in Edmonton. SA made their second appearance in two years at Edmonton’s Starlite room last week. I was able to get tickets and go, so I continued [...]

This weekend a group of us went out to Elk Island National Park to get some camping in before the summer came to a close. It was a rather enjoyable weekend that included a short excursion back to the city to attend a BBQ at my Uncle’s place. We got in a quick hike on [...]

Anyone who’s been reading the journal lately knows that there seems to be an ongoing debate over the council’s investigation into building a new arena in downtown Edmonton to replace Rexall Place. There’s been a barrage of articles over the past few days pointing out some of the advantages and disadvantages to the proposal … [...]

There’s something strangely calming about walking outside after its snowed. Edmonton got a huge dump of snow this weekend … making this March the most snowy March EVER. When you walk outside for a bit, there’s this hint of quiet beauty in the air. Maybe I’m just imagining it, but the crisp cool air with [...]
Edmonton Sonata Arctica Show Review
Well last night was the Sonata Arctica concert that I’ve been looking forward to for quite awhile. For those who don’t know, Sonata Arctica is a Finnish melodic metal band that took the scene by storm when they released their first full length album. When I first heard some of their music, they almost immediately [...]

Ahh Christmas … so much to do, so little time! Saturday was the department Christmas party – and it was a blast as I kind of expected. The food was not spectacular, but the dancing was fun. Diane and I showed off our dancing skillz – though I felt really rusty at most of the [...]

What a wild weekend. Friday night was a pretty calm night as I pretty much just stayed home and watched the hockey game (an exciting game between the oilers and flames ending in a shootout Oiler win… yay!). I also won another $75 player poker that night. Full tilt has been an awesome room for [...]

Boy was I excited. And nervous. Since I found out that Stratovarius was coming to town, I was really wondering what sort of crowd would turn up to a band that is, as far as I know, virtually unknown in town. I was also nervous that the people I had dragged to come see the [...]
