In the early ’90s, photographer Zoltan Varadi was embedded in the nascent alt music scene in YYC — now, his gallery of sweaty and celebratory memories from 1992 through 2001 has been dusted off and hung up at the National Music Centre. Snapped at the now-closed venues Night Gallery and Republik, and the still-kicking Ship & Anchor, the flash-filled action shots raise a glass to the institutions that helped transform this one-horse town into a vibrant music hub.
