JF: laughs All of the Bison beer! How it came aboutwe were asked to play this thing called Transmission Festival which was kind of like an industry thing, and no disrespect to Transmission or the people that do them but I just don’t really like that kinda stuff. It’s really exclusive and I don’t feel like I fit into that kinda world or whatever. But they were really interested in supporting the band; they really wanted to work with us so like, “okay, we’ll think about it”. To sweeten the deal they said “well, we’ll make you Bison beer”, and we’re like “done!”. And it turned out to be really good.

It’s this really weird industry showcase but all the other performers were like singer/songwriters, like really mellow and then we. JF: Oh, that was quite surreal, but I think the most surreal thus far has been opening for Sisters of Mercy in Buffalo, New York. We were on tour and we have friends in Buffalo so we had just planned to be in Buffalo and just have an extra day or whatever.
So on our way to Buffalo our manager calls us and says “we have another show, and you’re not gonna believe what the show is; it’s after your Buffalo show”, and I’m like “oh yeah, where is it?”, “oh, it’s in Buffalo”, “what do you mean?”, “it’s at this huge place in Buffalo, opening for The Sisters of Mercy!” laughs.
