20240330 - Bass Coast Pre Party - Victoria Really only attended this show for a brief moment in time but was so glad I had my camera with me to snap a few moments! Spent the night dancing with @sierrahamiltoncreative and enjoyed seeing so many people. These Bass Coast pre-parties are always such a visual treat, and The Librarian’s set was amazing, as always! 🪩 🔥 🎶 1-8: @librarianmusic 9: @leland_river #zenonkaiimaging #basscoastfestival #thelibrarian #lelandriver #capitalballroom #yyjevents #yyjphotographer

@millettheband at @capitalballrm on Friday night with @uvicsurfclub • • • • • • • #victoria #concertphotography #concertphotographer #uvic #capitalballroom
For all you flyer designers out there, I was going through my phone and found some flyers from back around the late 90s/early 00s. These were all made by Airline Industries, based in #WashingtonDC, for the #iconic Friday nights at the #CapitalBallroom that were called Buzz/Sting (depending on the timeframe). The Capital Ballroom was a megaclub in a very large, old train station that pulled every raver from Virginia to DC to Maryland, and beyond, as well as the world's top talent like @donaldglaude (who just happens to be playing at @genesis_lake_jam this week, YAY!). Finding those flyers stuffed in our windshield wipers, all over the ground in the parking lot outside, at the record stores, and in a stack of similar flyers in just about every raver's home was as much a treat as the party itself. The design elements, layout, the detail, the depth, the tasteful font and color choices are truly masterful #graphicdesign work. Check out the link to URB Magazine below who featured an article on Airline Industries. Take a look at those flyers and tell me they aren't some of the best you've ever seen and they are like 20-30 years old and still cool AF! If you need inspo and maybe some leveling up, study those flyers. https://urbmagazine.substack.com/p/interview-with-airline-industries Enjoy!
Good times 🤩 📸: @zenonkaiimaging #victoriabc #capitalballroom #westwoodrecordings
Fantastic times this past weekend in Victoria with @stickybuds @defunkofficial & @__shmani_ at @capitalballrm, presented by @westwoodrecordings! The amount of incredible, homegrown Canadian talent we have in our scene never ceases to amaze me. Tons of original music and masterful mixing was brought to the stage by each artist. Wicked lasers and lights from @vjphoton and @kingrobinwood made it so fun to shoot. Awesome turnout with a really fun crowd, and we even got a bonus 30 mins of Stickybuds which made for a rare 2hr set. Great show!! #westwoodrecordings #stickybuds #defunk #shman #capitalballroom #zenonkaiimaging

Sam Roberts Band | Victoria, BC | February 23, 2024 #livemusic #fromthepit #concertphotography #concertphotographer #capitalballroom #samrobertsband #livenation #yyjphotographer
It's been a decade since @samrobertsband performed in Victoria. The last time he performed his solo music at @capitalballrm, the venue was still Sugar Nightclub nearly 18 years ago in late 2006. The sold out show was full of fans who have been following his music for more than 20 years. (** Note: Technically, Roberts performed at Capital Ballroom last year, but as a member of Canadian super group Anyway Gang... but that's a completely different band. **) 📷 @magmazing February 23, 2024 presented by @livenationbc . . #SamRoberts #SamRobertsBand #CapitalBallroom #LiveNation #TheAdventuresOfBenBlankTour #yyjconcerts #yyj #concertphotography #VictoriaMusicScene #VictoriaBC #magmazingmusic #AdamLee
@hello.miina made their @capitalballrm debut under their new band name opening for @samrobertsband at his sold out show.

2023 Year in Review: @cybertronicband performed at @capitalballrm in Victoria in September. This was a show that was originally scheduled for April 2020. We all know what happened during that time. The show was rescheduled 3 times. This is a band that would be a perfect fit for Capital City Comic Con. It's a band cosplaying as Transformers from the 1980s playing songs from the Transformers movie soundtrack and originals inspired by it. Besides the elaborate costumes, a reason these photos are among my favourites is because of the backlighting complementing the colours of the costumes really well. Also, I never thought I'd be taking photos of Unicron shredding a guitar solo along with Hot Rod, Arcee, Shockwave, Rumble and a Quinteson judge. Would sure like to find out who's all behind the masks of this Toronto band. #CybertornicSpree #CapitalBallroom #AdamLee #concertphotography #yearinreview #yyj #yyjconcerts #magmazingmusic #magmazing #victoriabc
2023 Year in Review: @grandson performed a sold out show at @capitalballrm in August. There were so many photo worthy moments during his set. He had a park bench and street lamps on stage (he later raffled off the lamps) where he started the set sitting and crying. He staged dived from the second level and crowd surfed. And he gave a shirt to a superfan who attended her 100th grandson show. But these two moments are my favourites. Whenever an artist goes into the audience you either have to luck out by being in the right spot at the right time or fight your way through the audience to get as close to them as you can. Then you have to hope there's enough light to get halfway decent shots. Lighting for this moment was no problem since grandson had the audience turn on the phone lights. The other shot is one of those moments you hope to get when you have your wide angle lens on. You're at a spot and the artist comes right to the edge of the stage in front of you. #grandson #CapitalBallroom #Rifflandia #AdamLee #concertphotography #yearinreview #yyj #yyjconcerts #magmazingmusic #magmazing #victoriabc
2023 Year in Review: @monowhales is a band that is always fun to shoot. Sally is always full of energy on stage making for great photo moments both on her own and interacting with her bandmates. They opened for grandson in early August at a sold out show at @capitalballrm . They returned for their own headlining show at Wicket Hall in November, but sadly I had to miss it due to my day job. I liked the colour shot because of how the lights were at just the right angle pointing at bassist Dylan Burrett and at Sally and how Sally's hair seems to be in mid movement. The group shot I converted to black in white to feature all four band members more evenly than the colour version did. #Monowhales #CapitalBallroom #Rifflandia #AdamLee #concertphotography #yearinreview #yyj #yyjconcerts #magmazingmusic #magmazing #victoriabc
Absolutely loved this performance by @trinityinfinity8 last evening for the @mindgarden.vic event - It is always such a delight to see flow performers take things up a notch and seem to express themselves with an unabashed proceeding.
