Why are they not scheduled for a single date in Canada?! That is incredibly disappointing.

oh, they will.

On the new album, some of you might be wondering what the street clanging recording was, at the end of the first song.

Earlier this year, what followed the student protests for the hike here in Quebec was in my opinion a much important protest aimed against a law limiting our right to assemble and protest. So way more people took to the streets with some kitchenware and made a racket. Here's some footage I took:

This occurred every week, and almost every night in some places at precisely 8PM, for a few weeks!

Saw them tonight. So blown away. Stood a few feet away from Efriam and was almost star struck. Lol

But yea, such amazing sounds at one time. Almost too much and too good.

Oh and opener was a dude who played a single oscillation note for 30 mins solid. Completely annoying.

this is the point where we stop calling it a pedal board, and just call it what it is: A tabletop synth

Over here it was TWO dudes who played a single oscillation note.

I said that it was probably done as more of a performance enhancement for Godspeed. When you have to listen to that shit for 1/2 hour solid. Anything will sound good after the fact. Not that gybe would need any enhancement. So tight.

[oinkbanana]

or they could have just played a slowed down recording of tibet monks chanting for an hour
(I swear they did this in 2003 every night between the opening bands and their set)
you don't need an opening band to set the pace (drop the expectations)

Hahah I like how they're all dancing so strangely.

Saw them last night, was a solid show. Their violinist had a family emergency and wasn't there, which probably took a decent amout away from the performance, but I was still impressed. I feel like a nerd because I could pin-point the exact moment the drone commander came in during of of their drones

[oinkbanana]

that clip is amusing because half the band are parents and probably watch that show regularly. hahaha.

Great interview...I love the red-headed kid in glasses, looks like he has absolutely no idea how to react to the music.

[Achtane]

God I love Chic-A-Go-Go.

I'm willing to bet they're not actually dancing to that music
I think it was just dubbed in
