Oh hey, Arts & Crafts recording artists The Most Serene Republic are in town tonight at the Paragon, and it just so happens we did one of our patented Five Funky Story random Q&A's with them! Well then, let's get to it:





Name: Adrian
Band: The Most Serene Republic
Web: www.themostserenerepublic.ca

1. Would it be worth all the royalties to have to have your name attached to the 'Mambo Number 5?'

Yes. Of Course.

2. What was the last book you read?

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

3. If you worked as the maitre d' at a fancy restaurant, and Phil Collins came in wearing only a t-shirt, would you let him sit down?

No, I would ask him to put on pants or leave.

4. Patio Lanterns, Go For Soda, or WFT does that mean?

?

5. Have you ever played a keytar?

No.

...what, we're back already? That was quick, but it was fun and, uhhhh, enlightening, right? Not so much really, but oh well, TMSR are clearly a band of (very) few words, but I bet they'll have more than a few tight-panted asses shaking tonight at the Paragon, as will the two local outfits that are joining them: Mardeen and The First Aid Kit (these guys especially, I've only seen them live once briefly, but they've been a fav for a while now). So you're likely in-store for a good time if you're venturing out to the Paragon tonight, but that Myles Deck/Cuban Assassins split 7" release show at Gus' could very well be just as much bang for your buck I'd say.

MP3:: The Most Serene Republic - Heavens To Purgatory

MP3:: Myles Deck and the Fuzz – The Healing Power

MP3:: Cuban Assassins - Money

Labels: Cuban Assassins, Friday Showstravaganza, Halifax, Live, Myles Deck and the Fuzz, The Most Serene Republic

When it comes to punk bands that get the support of the Hali locals, Myles Deck & The Fuzz and Cuban Assassins rank high on the list. Needless to say, the fact they are putting out a joint 7" is pretty big news around these parts.

Even bigger news... we are giving away two of the super limited red vinyl pressings. All you have to do is drop us an email (herohill AT gmail DOT COM) or leave a comment with the pertinent details below. Oh, just to sweeten the pot, each winner gets a sweet guest list spot (+1) to the 7" release show at Gus' on Friday. It's worth it just to hear Money, but all four songs are bad ass.

Enter now!

Here's the info for the show:
