the interview show: the stills

When I arrived at the Commodore to interview up and comer Gentleman Reg, I met Tim from The Stills and, out of the blue, he wanted to do an interview. I was all, “Uhm … Great! …How ’bout after soundcheck?!”

Wow. I had 45 minutes to prepare.

Note: Both Gentleman Reg and The Stills are on the Arts & Crafts label, the home of Canadian super indie acts, like Broken Social Scene and Feist.

A typical Montrealer, Tim (with the badge, above) did the interview taking a smoke break. Then Dave (on Tim’s left) from the band joined for a puff.

The Stills are at an interesting point in the band’s life. They just won a Juno for new band (*ahem* three albums into their career) as well as one for best alternative group. And they are one of those bands that have been dissed by indie tastemakers Pitchfork. Not sure why Pitchfork has decided to pick on The Stills… the guys have been making great atmospheric indie rock for three records.

I talk with them about all that and more.

The Stills on the interview show

The Stills “Being Here” My Favorite song on their current record.

The Stills “Snow In California” Listen to this one. Sounds like it is about climate change, but… no. It is about the canceled tv show Carnivale.

    Great band. “Still in love song” was a great success in the pub where I worked for 5 years (in Alicante, Spain)
