I've been a fan of Billy Talent for 10 years, they were a great band when I discovered them in high school & I've enjoyed maturing with them as each record progressed. They stopped in Halifax on tour for their latest album, Dead Silence, on April 16th to play the Cunard Centre with Indian Handcrafts, Hollerado & Monster Truck! Ben & Aaron stopped by for a chat & I decided to break out some old school Jenga.
Most intense Jenga game with their drummer Aaron, he's got skills! We chatted about the new album, the tour change over from Sum 41 to Monster Truck, early days of the band when they were Pezz & more. Listen to the interview & Jenga moves here.
While playing Jenga, Aaron & I discussed an MS Camp that he's been involved with for the past few years, if you want to know more about it visit http://mssociety.ca/calgary/family.htm
Allan Zilkowsky took this great shot of Billy Talent from the concert at the Cunard Centre. Absolutely amazing show! As a long time fan, I heard every song I truly wanted to hear from each album as well as lesser known songs that die hard fans recognize & adore. The crowd appreciated Ben taking notice of recent events that hit close to home; the passing of Stompin' Tom Connors, Boston Marathon Bombings & dedicating their song Nothing To Lose to Rehtaeh Parsons.
A great concert experience for everyone who packed the Cunard Centre. Hopefully they don't wait too long to visit Halifax again.
