5 Questions:
1. Why did you name your album Les Chemins de Verre?
Les Chemins de Verre is the title of one of our songs, so it seemed appropriate but also, it marked an exciting occasion for us - we wrote the song that began this album at the end of the tour for our last album - le Volume de Vent.
2. What are you going to do with the money if you win?
We'll probably invest in buying a new tour van!
3. If you don't win who would you like to see win?
RadioRadio because Stephane and Julien (who play in Karkwa) play with them as well!
4. What are you planning to do for the live part of Polaris?
We're going to play as if we're not competing, just doing our stuff like we like to play for an audiences.
5. What are you wearing to the Gala?
Necktie. No underwear. No, actually, we don't know. We'll ask our mothers.
