welcome to THE POP PAGES! 

your mission: look at photos. click on photos. every picture is a link to another one. enjoy the show.

hidden cameras:
here are a bunch of long-overdue photos of canada's reigning band of quirky, dancy pop and fun hallowe'en costumes. may 15, 2006

totheteeth/tothehilt:
okay. so we know it's been a really, really long time since we've updated. and we both feel bad about it - but rest assured we are NOT giving up on the pop pages. there have been a few technical bugs with the site, and we're both a little too busy for our own goods. kevin is still playing in about a hundred different bands out in vancouver, and joni is hard at work doing the university thing and interning at kelp records. but! we've finally got some fun new content for all of you fine people. be sure to check out the photos of totheteeth/tothehilt from when they played a basement party at joni's house back in the summer. they are worth your while. we promise. march 10, 2006.

 

MOVING ON:
since 2001, TRIPOD has been home to The Pop Pages. now it's time to lose the third leg.
we are proud to announce the launch of www.thepoppages.com. dig it.
so, go here from now on. don't go there anymore. i think you'll find a lot of broken links and dead ends. august 8, 2005

counting heartbeats, vincat, and reindeer tiger team:
photos from the canada day festivities at the fifty-fifty. july 20, 2005

dante decaro and the raygun:
ex-hot hot heat guitarist dante decaro played a wonderfully folky set for his hometown audience, while the raygun made the crowd dance so much the guitarist's glasses fogged up due to the heat. i am fairly sure that's a good sign the band accomplished its goal. june 23, 2005

in medias res, black tie social, and maurice:
last spring the scenesters were blown away with ake productions' lovers in a dangerous town spectacle. this year the wonderful people at ake have done it again with if i had a rocket launcher!, a fine evening of old film footage, television fuzz and indie rock. long live the victoria all-ages scene! june 3, 2005

cadeaux, republic of safety, and pianosaurus rex:
when you've got a bunch of awesome bands playing in a room filled with balloons, you know it's going to be a good time. may 19, 2005

sloan in victoria:
let's face it - can one ever really have too much sloan? of course not. with that in mind, we proudly bring you another collection of sloan shots. these ones are from their show at legends in victoria last week. may 16, 2005

the pop pages in cord magazine:
you heard right, kevin's recent sloan pix were just published in CORD magazine, with a live show review by andy scheffler. andy took the night off of camera-ing, and kevin was more than happy to step up to the plate. shutter. lens. whatever. check out the pix and article here. may 11, 2005

the weakerthans and the constantines:
problem: what do you do when you have a two-hour-stopover in the toronto airport with nothing to do?
solution: you build photo pages with awesome canadian bands, of course!
check out these pages that evolved as a product of joni's between-flight boredom. coming soon: run chico run, cadeaux, kincaide, and more! ALSO, both kevin and joni will be checking out sloan in all of their glory later this week. stay tuned for tales of rock and roll and debauchery! may 3, 2005
