When how were you formed?

Ysael
i meet jimi after a show he did with his old band and told him i tought he was great but that his band was shit... that he should get me and some other people instead. we drank all night and did drugs until sun came up singing and talking about the project. to finally end up having our first jam the same week. we were only 2 at first but our goal was to get our favorite musicians in town to get to play with us... and thats what we did! witch makes us our favorite band in montreal

Western Times
Was the member in other bands in the past?Is there a band that serves concurrently now?

Ysael
dany has the most impressive list.... the spaceshits, les sexareenos, cpc gangbangs, cockroaches... dale is also in cockroaches and i also play in demon's claws and Mind Controls

Western Times
Do you sing in French?Do not you sing in English?

Ysael
we were born and raise in french... english is the seccond langage for me jimi and martin. dany and dale would sing in english if they were in that band... witch might happen on the second record.

Is the cover song live performed only though it is original?Moreover, what tune do you cover if it does?

Ysael
we dont really do covers usually but we played recently a Kinks tribute concert with a bunch of band so we did 3 kinks songs that night-- we also sometimes play a song by Antoine ... but thats only live

Please teach a band that the member influences and a favorite band. and Please teach the record bought for the first time.

Ysael
the first record i bought was a K7 from a band Called DRI...

now i have so many records and influences thats its hard for me to really point a something in particular... one day ill be listening only jazz and the next day it will be a complete different type of music... my favorite new bands are black lips and king khan BBQ ! i also like a lot deerhunter.

Western Times
Where when were EP and a full album recorded?Moreover, please teach if there is an interesting story at the recording.

Ysael
we recorded the Ep really quick in a studio in montreal.both album were recorded live in a studio with a minimal amouth or overdubs in order to sound the same way we are live. there is many crazy stuff that happened durring these session... bad and good but these are secret stories :)

Western Times
Who is the centered member?Jimmy?Wasn't there the opinion's cracking at the recording?

Ysael
jimi writes all the lirics and the basic of the songs... then we arrange them all toguether... we really get along as a band and are really united so we never fight.

Western Times
How do you complete the song usually?

Ysael
i dont know. we think the songs are someting that we cant control... we play and play and its the song that tells us were to go and what to play you just have to be listening.

Western Times
Why are you playing in the roof of a building?

Ysael
we did that in order to announce the programation of a outdoor festival here in montreal. the festival is about street art and performance so we performed live on a rooftop :) its was really fun but we got kicked out after two songs ... then we went to the city hall and drank a lot with the mayor...

Western Times

Western Times
When was the base started?What did you play first?

Ysael
my grand mother bought me my first guitar when i was 16... then i played it like a maniac for a year and switched to bass to join my first band called LEs meteores. never stoped since.

Western Times
What bass play do you like?

Ysael
