Mental Beast

Some of Vancouver’s finest have put together “Mental Beast” and “The Eggnog Project”, two very awesome holiday themed projects.

Mental Beast is a 12-episode comedy series that spans two mediums, radio and video. It tells the story of KRML, a radio station on the verge of collapse when hit with Arts Funding cuts.  The radio series features on air hosts, Dave and Kevin while the video episodes will explore the behind-the-scenes exploits of the radio station. The KRML staff is comprised entirely of Vancouver’s finest alternative comedians, actors, and performers!

Tied in with it, The Eggnog Project, is a double album compilation featuring 30 of Vancouver’s best indie bands writing their own and interpreting traditional holiday songs. Many of the acts are interviewed on the Mental Beast radio show and their tracks serve as the soundtrack to the web-series.

The compilation has been curated by Music Waste Festival head Cameron Reed and features songs by, Jody Glenham, Kellarissa, Lightning Dust, Vancougar, Adjective, Nick Krgovich (of P:ano & No Kids) and Rose Melberg, Brasstronaut, Secret Mommy, Apollo Ghosts, Fanshaw, Al Boyle of Hard Feelings, Analog Bell Service, B-Lines, Basketball, Blue Violets, Collapsing Opposites, Dandi Wind, Dylan Thomas, Fine Mist, Haunted Beard, Lust, Machu Picchu, Makeout Videotape, Needles & Pins, No Gold, Noobie Noobinson, Paul Anthony, Tight Solid, World Club.
