Happy New Year! (2 weeks too late)
I guess we forgot to mention that Bathetic Records+ William Cody Watson + Alex Zhang Hungtai have put together a concept compilation featuring the crew (our underground friends/family/extended family).
It’s a free download that has been passed around the internet a lot this past week. It even scored album of the week in the Montreal Mirror.
Interesting factoid: The cover art was shot by Alex on Mulholand Drive in California.

3. Cough Cool - Treal Impala
4. Hot & Cold - Distant Lights

The Toronto show with Lantern was wild! It was so much fun. Unfortunately, our van was ticketed/towed, and then the breaks died stranding us in Ajax, ON for a few hours. This left a lot of time for the following photo essay:
Lots of stuff to announce soon including 2 gigs with:
Total dream-come-true!
Nice minced-media from Walter Scott! Real gig posters are a rare exotic animal in these times.

In the meantime, enjoy the lighter side of fashion:
What is your favorite occasion to dress for?
Alex: Fuck, that’s a really hard one. Everyday life. Cause I love life.
Shub: Open casket wakes!
Zachary: The obvious answer is when I perform, but I like to dress up. I want to do that more…
Alex Zhang Hungtai is the mastermind…

Weird Canada review of Lantern
NEW LANTERN REVIEW ON WEIRD CANADA
This was my first time writing for Weird Canada. I feel like it’s easily the most important website in terms of the current Canadian underground music scene. It’s simple. It’s got great content. It’s all positive. It’s extremely comprehensive, up-to-date, inclusive and user friendly. I’m very happy to be part of something I can really fully get behind. We need to celebrate the things we like instead of just always sloggin’ what we hate.

Here is a video that Jackie Lachance + Alex made with Zach Fairbrother for his new project Latern. It was shot in Montreal this Summer before Zach moved to Philly. They did an excellent job.
