5 Questions:
1. Why did you name your album Belmunda Regal?
Belmundo is the main "muse" for our album, he is Argentien/sailor/Casanova type of carachter, we met while passing through Mahoney Bay, near Lunenbourg, which is where the most sought after treasure in the world is found, called the Oak Island Treasure. This was the reason Belmundo was in the region. We added "Regal", because we so gallant and so slick.
2. What are you going to do with the money if you win?
It's bad luck to count your eggs before they've hatched, but we'd head to Portofino for sailing school.
3. If you don't win who would you like to see win?
May the best winner, with the best album, with the firmest of handshake, with the warmest of hug and the tastiest spaghetti sauce win. Besides that Karkwa are our friends, if they'd win we'd also be happy!!
4. What do you love about your album?
The pastel sailboat art work on the cover.
5. What are you wearing to the Gala?
Jacques is wearing a 3 piece suit, with a cane. Alexandre is wearing pancho and Gabriel has been travelling to nudist colonies all summer we'll see what type of compromise he's willing to make.
