Vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Neil Smith on how his indie band has written one of Vancouver’s luckiest success stories of the 21st century.
Apparently when band leader Aurora Wolfe was asked what the name of her band’s latest album translated to she told them it meant “nice to meet you.” In actuality it translates to something along the lines of “I’m a bastard,” but rest assured there are no bastard songs here.
