Hi Frank: I’ll be playing a show with Stevie from B&S next week, along with members of the Hidden Cameras and a guest appearance by Owen from Final Fantasy. Stevie’s been working on some amazing solo work, and his Toronto pals are thrilled to be able to support him. We’re playing the 11th, at the Imperial Pub. It’s a tiny venue, but it’s really just a glorified jam session, so we’d like to keep it intimate. Please do come out, it’d be great to see you! xo

I once DJed with B&S drummer Rico. After the night was over we started talking and I showed him all the B&S covers I had on my iPod. He said that when they do a cover it is usually city specific, like if they were playing Liverpool, they would do a Beatles cover. Also they learn the cover during soundcheck and if they don’t by then, they don’t play it.
