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 had just finished a mini tour of Western Canada, Edmonton was the last place we played!
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
We were about to release a couple of new singles and begin the Summer festival circuit, as well as planning a Fall US tour and early 2021 Europe again later in the year/beginning of 2021.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
These quiet past few months have proven to be somewhat of a blessing in disguise for us, as it's given us the time to be creative at home and write what we are feeling is some of our best material yet! Additionally, Malcolm and myself adopted a pandemic puppy, while Louis became a costal recluse up in Powell River, and Bruce has found a newfound love with the miracle of Newman's Own salad dressing.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
We got together to rehearse and play together! It was the longest time we had spent apart and it felt pretty niiiiice to be reunited.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
As Blonde Diamond, our favourite Starlite Room moment was when we played there with our friends in Dear Rouge at the end of 2018.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Make sure you're brushing your teeth and taking regular showers if you're working from home…….
