1 whats fun in toronto?

Aaron

Playing loud music with friends. Alternatively, staying home and playing videogames.

Devin

Rotary Dial!  Come see us at the Piston Sept 14 and we guarantee you'll have fun.

Shane

Fun was outlawed in the '20s.

J

I'm partial to long walks late at night around the city because there's always something going on, but it didn't really get hot enough this year. So... I'd say checking out new businesses, there's always a new brewery, or a restaurant, or a new vintage clothing place... Gotta take it all in before fun is outlawed again, like in the 20s.

2 what time is your set on sept 14?

Band

10:30 ish? We're trying this new thing where we don't make people stay up until an ungodly hour to see us, so even though I believe we're last, the show is starting relatively early.

3 what bands are u totally into rn?

Aaron

Monarch is a great Toronto band that has recently resurfaced after cloistering themselves for a recording project. Had the pleasure of sharing a bill with them with my other band at TO Lounge last month and my face was melted clean off. 

Devin

The War on Drugs, The War on Drugs and The War on Drugs. 

Shane

Skinny Puppy and Anne Murray.

J

I have recently (within the last few years) discovered that my favourite album is Key Lime Pie by Camper Van Beethoven, but as for recent and more relevance I was really, really into the set that The Rathburns did at our video release party.

4 whats fun on tv?

Aaron

Youtube videos of children falling over. 

Devin

Video games?  They are on my TV. 

Shane

The Office is fun.

J

Like Florendo, I also usually turn my TV on for YouTube, and I've been really into all the media that the McElroy brothers make. They've done a few podcasts that I love and made a TV show and also have some nerdy gaming YouTube channels. 

5 dietary restictions for the band?

Aaron

Stomach elasticity?

Devin

Some, but we make it work.

Shane

There isn't a food Florendo will not conquer.

J

Wait, are we getting taken out for dinner? But really... You won't find me in a steakhouse I guess.

6 future tour plans?

Band

We're looking to head out East in the foreseeable future. Stay tuned!

7 where / hiw can we pick up your new album?

Band

Talk to us after a show! Also, we're on Bandcamp and that's the best way to support us.

We're also on all the streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music so you can check us out there anytime!

8 best movie u saw this summer 

Aaron

"We Are the Best!" A Swedish indie movie about a bunch of 13 year old girls starting a punk band in the 80s. Wasn't released this summer but I just watched it then.

Devin

Baby Driver. Absolutely brilliant. Big Edgar Wright fan. 

Shane

Naked Fist

J

I don't know if this counts but this summer I finally watched The Room and it changed me.

9 favourite restaurants 

Aaron

TO Lounge, Skyline, The Steady, Banh Mi Boys, and admittedly A&W. 

Devin

As a band we tend to end up at Disgraceland. 

Shane

Anything owned by Cara Operations. 

J

I'm really into weekend brunch at D-Beatstro.

10 fave beverage

Aaron

Depending on my mood, beer, whisky, and Tahitian Treat.

Devin

I'm a beer guy.  Anything but Coors Banquet.

Shane

Beer-fee. Cof-eer.

J

Before I sing on stage: double whiskey, neat. During rehearsals: literally any kind of beer. If I'm out and feeling fancy: Old Fashioned.
