Yesterday on the Zone Afternoon Show I was swarmed by rock and roll. I had the opportunity to interview and hear a live performance from the groups Plants and Animals, Hollerado and Said the Whale. here we go!
Montreal’s Plants and Animals were the first band to stop by. We talked about May the Forth Be With You; how much their first record Parc Avenue ripped and came in second place a bunch when it was nominated for Junos and other prestigious things; how much they crush live; the sonic differences between Parc Avenue and La La Land (their new album); Adam Lambert and cruise ships; Tea; then they perform “Game Shows.” Fun.

Ontario’s Hollerado came by next. They were playing at Lucky Bar that night and their show was fantastic.
Hollerado are from a small town outside Ottawa… but are they Sens fans, or do they cheer the Canadiens?
We talk puck; how they live in a van; how much they have traveled; London, Ontario totally sucks and Brazil totally rules; Record in a Bag is their album… but does it actually come in a back?; Juliet is the name of Hollerado’s hit song, but the video is a real trip. In the video, the old lady is played by non-other than Ms. Margot Kidder aka Lois Lane in Superman! believe that; They drank with her and those times they shared were special; they talk about Global Warming (but don’t worry I set them straight on the MYTH of global warming) and then they play “Americanarama.”

The show ends with a return visit by everyone’s favourite magician singing band, Said the Whale.
STW lead singer Tyler sat on an airplane with Canadian indie rock royalty Emily Hanes, but does he spill the beans?; Said the Whale talks about the song “The Light is You.” Wait an minute, I know that song? But from where? Turns out it is used in a Sun-Rype commercial! Funny story about Sun-Rype… owned by Jim Pattison, the SAME local billionaire that owns the Zone… whoa.
Pretty song, fun interview.
