I hung out with indie rock, post punk band Born Ruffians in an undercover car garage one summer day while we were both at the Banff World Media Festival. We chatted as a mysterious wind-born fluff swirled around us, invading this small town in the Rockies.
Which band member does an impression of Donald Trump? How does music change for a band when they go from fan to working musician? Which band members still play in their family's annual Christmas song circle? Could Born Ruffians make a record about being a cool suburban dad? Who in the band suffers from "demoitis"? You'll have to listen!
