Sitting down with Canada’s indie rockers, The Trews, was far from a boring experience. They had great stories – on stage pranks involving other bands placing male porn on their amps, drinking Jim Beam with Kid Rock, filming a music video in freezing temperatures without a jacket…
The band arrived in Los Angeles earlier in the day and prior to their Viper Room set, embarked on a secret mission to capture a photo next to the Hollywood sign. This resulted in a major deviation from the path and a not-so-happy police helicopter flying overhead as a signal for them to scurry on their way.
After I accidentally butchered the name of their latest album’s title track (they did admit to liking my version better), we dove into important topics such as the difference between Americans and Canadians and joked about how being called “The greatest rock band of their generation” by Performer Magazine is annoying because it “forces them to be good every night.”
