L’Carquois FTW

That means Karkwa for the win for those not versed in innernetsspeak. You’re welcome (Im looking at you Mom). Anyway, I kinda alluded to it yesterday, but Karkwa, the indie band from Montreal, won the Polaris Prize. Of course they did. Such a great prize, so authentic…

Here is the band on Studio 12, playing Léger-Moi.

Here they are in a park, doing a “concert to go.” They jam and talk and act natural at the outset… it’s nice. Also, they are amazing live! Like more amazinger than recorded! I bet they’ll be booked more now… I hope so at least. Coast to coast? Maybe among hipsters… maybe more…
