Vancouver then New York and now LA-based electronic duo Bob Moses (aka Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance) have hit the road to tour their second record Battle Lines. Their 2015 debut album, Days Gone By, was a surprise success and the RAC remix of their song "Tearing Me Up" won a Grammy Award for best remixed recording, non-classical. I caught up with Jimmy backstage at the Commodore Ballroom when the band made a stop in their childhood hometown, Vancouver.
What's the first thing Jimmy did when he visited his mom? Which members of the band interrupted our interview? Which song on the new record happened after a long night of fun? What does Jimmy do to keep morale up while logging long hours on the road? Which Vancouver Canucks hockey jersey does Jimmy wear while DJing? How does Jimmy like his band being compared to Coldplay? You'll have to listen to find out!
