With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
We were fortunately in Vancouver with 3 shows in March.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We were getting ready for a Canadian tour, shooting our third video, and working on material for our second full length album. The latter, we are still able to work on. Silver lining baby!!!!
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Every Friday since this went down, we've released a full band acoustic video of one of our tunes. We've had a streamed Q&A, and we're just getting our streamed advice show started called, "The Corps Cares" hahaha no joke
Favourite quarantine meal?
Box of wine.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
Mine would have to be loading in and meeting JFK for the first time. I think he just looked at me and said, "Shots?" We went to the bar and partied way too hard. It was as if we'd always known each other. Been close friends ever since. Pederson is from Edmonton, so when asked about a favourite moment, he doesn't know, as he's had too many good times.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Barqs has bite.
