This Bande Ápart session is too awesome not to mention.
Canadian bands Duchess Says and Fucked Up combine to make music together in the CBC studio. Duchess Says’ Annie-Claude Deschêne gives Damian Abraham a run for his money in the testosterone stakes.
The first song ‘Year of the Ox’ is about 12 minutes long. Click ‘Regardez’ over here to watch.
