Pictures from Jason Mraz Concert @ Rogers Arena (Sept 21)

I was one of the lucky winners to receive a pair of tickets to the Jason Mraz concert Friday night from the Rogers Wireless Box Office. I've been a Mraz fan for a while now, so I was very excited to see him live! Christina Perri opened for him, performing her hits including Jar of Hearts and A Thousand Years. Jason Mraz was amazing live, and it was fun to sing along to his songs. My favorites songs from his new album are Woman I Love and Living in the Moment. He sang some of his older songs too, which was really good. It was a great concert, and I wish it had lasted even longer! Here are some pictures and videos from the concert.

Jason Mraz came out to introduce Christina Perri.

Mraz performed for two hours!

He was so friendly and nice!

Barefoot for the whole concert!

Crazy cool percussion.

More and more people joined him on stage and the song went on.

LOVE.

Scissor Sisters Concert Pictures @ The Commodore Ballroom

Right after the Samsung Galaxy SIII launch party on Wednesday night, I headed on over to the Commodore Ballroom to hit up my next concert - The Scissor Sisters! Unfortunately, my friend arrived extremely late so I missed all the opening acts, and didn't get a good spot for pictures.

The concert itself was amazing - everyone was really into it and my friend and I danced up a storm! The Scissor Sisters performed many songs from their newest album, Magic Hour, as well as older hits and fan favorites like Take Your Mama Out, and my personal favorite, I Don't Feel Like Dancin'. They ended their set with it before the encore, and once it came on, everyone went crazy and started dancing even harder! They performed Only The Horses and another song for the encore, which I forget. Scissor Sisters has such catchy songs that just makes you want to bust a move and dance your heart out! I can't wait till they come back to Vancouver for their next tour!

Here are some pictures from the concert (sorry, they aren't very good!):

Scissor Sisters!

Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Del Marquis

Backup singers - it was the birthday of one of them so Ana Matronic led the audience in a rendition of Happy Birthday!

I have to say, they have the most interesting outfits ever.

Let's have a kiki!

I think this is Jake's oddest outfit over the evening - it looked like a raincoat sort of deal.

Here's a video of Baby Come Home - it's one of my favorites from their new album, it's just so catchy! For more videos from the concert, check out my Youtube channel.

Samsung Galaxy S III Launch with Down With Webster

Samsung Canada held launch parties in three cities last night for the newest phone in the Galaxy S line - the Galaxy S III. Samsung usually invites a Canadian band to perform at the launch (see Galaxy Launch with Faber Drive) and Vancouver got to rock out with Down With Webster! Sam Roberts Band performed in Montreal and Cobra Starship played in Toronto.

The events leading up to the concert were pretty awesome to watch. There were dancers, acrobats, hoola-hoops, great music, and a candy bar (!) where you can satisfy your sweet tooth.

Vancouver's Launch Party was held at Venue Nightclub.

Dancers were incorporating the phone into their routine.

There was also time to check out the Galasy S III smartphone - it's a beauty! It's a very slim and light phone and has many new features. The phone comes out in Canada on June 27th in white or pebble blue and will be available with any carrier in Vancouver.

This photo was taken with the Galaxy S III - it turned out very well even though the lighting was poor!! Amazing camera.

Gorgeous phone!

The president of Samsung Canada introducing Down With Webster.

Down With Webster was great, and the crowd was really into it! They performed their hits Whoa Is Me and Professional, among others. Everyone received flashing wristbands when they came through the door, so it was cool to see everyone lit up! It was definitely a fun night - Samsung sure knows how to throw a party!

Here's a video of Down With Webster performing Go Time. For more videos, check out my Youtube channel.
