NC: Almost a year has passed since you released the album, the new stuff that we heard tonight, is that going to make it onto an EP or are you working on your next album?
Pat: Well, first of all, the album is only half an hour long, thanks for buying one by the way, and we didn’t really expect anyone to give a shit about it, thought that we would just record again, like right after, but then we started touring a lot and stuff, touring more than we expected so it’s kinda been a drawn out thing where we hadn’t had as much time to record as we would like. We’re off from August on indefinitely so from that point on we’ll just be recording in a house.

NC: How long have you been playing together?
Pat: Mat’s my brother and the other guys I’ve known since I was like in grade school so a really really long time…
NC: Awww…
Pat:It’s adorable! [makes a face]

NC: How long did it take you to find the sound you wanted?
Pat: Erm, I don’t know if we’ve got it yet [laughs]. We need our own sound guy and new gear and stuff. We’re planning like a whole phase two of the band that would be totally different. We’re planning on overhauling the whole operation.

NC: You played the Primavera festival?
Pat: Yeah!
NC: How was that?
Pat: Oh, that was fucking amazing! I saw Sonic Youth and Neil Young, and the Vaselines and… all the bands that were excellent so… It’s nice to see how good the bands are and then you know how good you have to be.

NC: Have you ever played to a big crowd like that before?
Pat: Not really, it was pretty crazy.
NC: You usually play smaller venues…
Pat: Well, it varies, like, sometimes we’ll play in front of 15 people somewhere in Ontario or like, I don’t know, two thousand people if we’re playing a show with Mogwai or something.

NC: Do you like it better in Europe or in America?
Pat: Europe for sure!
NC: Really? A lot of bands say that, why is that?
Pat: Well, first of it’s like a more interesting place to be, just as for walking around down town, the architecture… Also, the people are way, way nicer. The people are just really nice to me, and they really love music. It’s fun.

We talked some more afterwards and found out that the album cover is actually a picture Pat cut out from a Chinese medical textbook. Their merch was ridiculously cheap so we bought up everything.
