It was important to us that we play a Hip tune this summer. This is the band that took us on tour and gave us the privilege of playing arenas across the country. We watched them every night on that tour, keen to pick up as many tricks that we could steal for our own. Gord D is known for being a poet, but I'd say he's equal parts dance instructor.
We debated long and hard about which Hip song we oughta play this summer. There are of course too many good songs to choose from. Mike D suggested "My Music At Work" because it's like The Who, but somehow heavier. I liked it because it wasn't a particularly sentimental song, and The Hip don't necessarily strike me as sentimental guys. This song is a joy to play and as you can tell: we channel some of those old tricks in this performance. Enjoy.
Xo Max, Nick, Tim, Anthony, Mike D
