the interview show: Cancer Bats

When I met Liam from Cancer Bats, in the alley behind the Rickshaw, I could not have predicted how off the rails this interview would get. While we chatted, we watched a woman shoot up heroine and I thought this was as wild as it could get. I was wrong!
Before either of us knew it, this interview was hijacked by Chi Pig, the legendary frontman of SNFU. Imagine meeting a member of SNFU in an alley in the DTES?! Then Chi Pig from SNFU literally chased us around and tried to blow smoke up our asses after Liam got a little starstruck.

the interview show: Leathan Milne

Leathan Milne is a local musician who is part of two local bands, Miami Device and Zoomafloome. He has been in music since he was 16. He has just completed his solo effort, The Outcome of Weather.
Leathan may make sweet sounding music, but he also is quite a character with an eccentric sense of humor. Regular listeners of the show know that I like to get details on all my favorite songs and, this time, Leathan was a little reluctant to offer the stories behind the songs, but I am a determined fellow. There is definitely an odd chemistry in our chat, but the exchange will definitely make you smile.
the interview show with Leathan Milne
Leathan Milne “On That Day” What is this song about? Seems like a guy done wrong song. I ask Leathan.
Leathan Milne “Here I Lie With You” This is my favorite track on the record. How does a girl react when a guy writes a song like this about her? Well I ask Leathan. The answer will surprise you.

the interview show: Rich Aucoin

When I sat down with Canada’s resident electronic party-maker Rich Aucoin backstage at Vancouver’s Media Club, he was just back from a trip to UBC’s Museum of Anthropology. “I just like to keep learning,” he told me. In fact, Rich visits the big museums in every city he hits while on tour. Later, I watched him put up the parachute and set up the multimedia spectacular for his show and I could understand why a Rich Aucoin show is not to be missed.
Now it is your turn to learn all about Rich Aucoin and his record We’re All Dying to Live by listening to our chat. Does he give out his cell number to the audience at the end of each show? Did 500 musicians work on his record? One night, how did he end up as Girl Talk‘s hype man? His music is so uplifting–does he in fact bleed rainbows?
I get to the bottom of everything!
the interview show with Rich Aucoin
Rich Aucoin “P.U.S.H.” (A little bit of a Daft Punk influence is never a bad thing.)
Rich Aucoin “It” (Upbeat electronic music at its best.)

the interview show: Myths

Myths is a partnership of best friends Quinne Rogers (a former fashion designer) and Leif Hall (from the legendary Vancouver band Mutators). They create dark electronic music that combines all the things that make up their friendship: fantasy, art, politics, feminism and more. Talking about their music this way makes it sound dull and academic, which is definitely not the case. It’s neat to discover all the thought and layers embedded in each Myths track.
If you really want to understand Myths, you should really make the effort to see them live–they are one of those bands that put as much effort into their live show as their music–but listening to my chat with Myths is a great place to start!
Myths “Deadlights” This tracks was inspired by a horror movie marathon.
Myths “The Labyrinth” One of my favorite Myths tracks. It starts with a sample of someone walking in the snow and builds from there to delicious and sinister depths.

the interview show: Philoceraptor

Philoceraptor is Justin, Phil and Steve. I caught this new local band at the end of a session in their Yaletown practice space. They were a couple of beers into the night, which made for a perfect time to chat.
One of the unique things about Philoceraptor is that they are a two guitar and drum kit trio. When I asked them what it would take to get a bass player in the band, Steve told me that he was the taco eating champion of the band. And that any bass player would have to beat his taco-eating record, 39 tacos in one hour, in order to join Philoceraptor. “Not a single note until you are at 40 tacos in one hour.” I think this sums these guys up perfectly.
Listen to our excellent chat for some more crazy moments, including when I get the guys to do a Philoceraptor cry. Beer does wonders.

the interview show: Grimes
We’re BACK! (Don’t call it a comeback. We’ve been here for years.)

Grimes is a musician, visual artist, video director and producer based out of Montreal/Vancouver and lately everyone has been falling under her spell.
Influential UK music mag NME picked her as one of the most exciting acts of 2012. Listen to her latest record Visions and you would have to agree.
When I sat down with Grimes, she was a lot more giggly than I would have expected, but she had a lot to say when I asked her about “not knowing any music theory” (a controversial rumor about her) and her witch house roots.
the interview show with Grimes
Grimes “Crystal Ball” (Nautiluss Remix)
Thanks for listening. We are back with an all-new series of new episodes. Stay tuned for my chats with Philoceraptor, K.Flay, The Wombats, Myths, TheeSatisfaction, Paper Lions, Metronomy, Braids and many many more.
Grimes just kicked off a big tour with North American and European dates. Check her out if she comes your way.
