Records In My Life: White Lung

We had a very detailed and banter filled interview with Mish and Kenneth of the band White Lung the other week when they were in town as part of the Levitation Vancouver music festival.  Filmed just down the stairs from The Commodore Ballroom at the Bottleneck Bar, Mish and Kenneth discussed some of their favorite and most influential albums including one album they could agree upon as a mutual love: Wipers.  I enjoyed this interview, the White Lung members were real band mates with all the undercurrents of people who've toured and recorded together, plus they picked some great albums!
