Violets & Viruses | April 30, 2012 | Toronto Indies Band

admin| 30 Apr 2012| 0 comments

It has been a while since the site has been updated. Over the course of the winter, I had the chance to shoot a few weddings that would be updated shortly, but before that I’d like to introduce my good friends Violets & Viruses.

Violets & Viruses | April 30, 2012 | Toronto Indies Band

Small World Music was very gracious to hold an event at the Lula Lounge featuring different local Asian artists. It’s been a while since Vioets & Viruses played their last band show and over the winter, Jun departed the band to focus on his career. New member Billy joined as the drummer and Mok (also my ever helpful assistant) went back to where he started off in his music career, as the guitarist.

Maybe Refuge Behind the Scene | July 24, 2011 | Toronto Indies band

A while ago, my buds Maybe Refuge were working very hard on their up coming EP. As a matter of fact, they just received shipment of the whole batch of printed/packaged EPs. In the near future, they will be hosting a EP release party in the GTA and I hope to see everyone of you there.

Violets & Viruses set | July 22, 2011 | Toronto Indies band show

Having missed Violets & Viruses‘s set from a week ago at Night It Up, I made sure I find time this time to attend their T&T Waterfront Night Market performance.  Parking was not easy and it was a long walk to where the stage was. However, all the so called troubles were worth it when I saw my buds rock the stage.  I couldn’t stay for the whole set but stayed long enough to see the growth of the band.

Parliament Music Group – First Contact Live | June 21, 2011 | A music journey

Parliament Music Group First Contact Live | June 21, 2011 | A music journey

At the start of a year, I received a message from Carmen, the female lead vocalist of the band asking if I would help out by documenting the show. I quickly said yes just from the fact that most of the band are my personal friends. Knowing the fact that Derrick will move back to Hong Kong after the show, it made me even more enthusiastic to capture some of the best moments of his last show in Canada. Fast forward to tuesday night, with much anticipation, the concert happened and everyone enjoyed the whole music journey they were brought along by Parliament Music Group. I arrived at the venue just after 6pm as Joseph “Big Ham” Tsang was briefing everyone on the sequence of the show and to see the intense atmosphere in the change room.

Music Video | May 27, 2011 | Violets & Viruses

Chris| 27 May 2011| 0 comments

Originally back in January we wanted to do a more film like, story driven music video but because of time constraints, this project has been put on hold indefinitely. So back in March during their EP Release Party when Violets & Viruses made their first appearance in almost over of a year at the Hard Luck Bar, I was their official photographer. Little known I also handled the task to make a music video for the Toronto rock band from live footages.
