The Breakfast Club heads back to Le Petit Dejenuer in Toronto this week, this time to meet with members of Vancouver's Brasstronaut! The band have been riding a wave of appreciation since releasing their latest album Mt. Chimaera and, aside from having "Slow Knots" nominated for a Bucky Award for Best Song, they actually just won the 2010 SOCAN Echo Songwriting Prize for their song "Hearts Trompet." Both awards are based on votes from fans, so it's a pretty huge honour I'm sure. Only one way to find out--I must eat breakfast with these people...
Are you a fan of Brasstronaut? Any plans to see them live on their upcoming tours (if you haven't already?) and/or picking up any of their records?
I have five copies of Mt. Chimaera to give away to the first listeners who can correctly answer the following questions about today's show on the blog:
1. What was Edo's first musical instrument?
WINNER - Doctor_Blind
2. According to Tariq, who first taught him to play guitar?
WINNER - taggy666
3. What does Edo have for dinner when he visits the members of Fine Mist?
WINNER - novascotiatim
4. What is the name of the neighbourhood or area that Tariq lives in in Vancouver?
WINNER - Conri
5. Which musician did Edo attend high school with?

The answers to these questions, and possibly others, will turn up on today's show. If you end up being the first person to post a winning answer on the blog, please e-mail vish_khanna [at] cbcradio3.com with "Brasstronaut Tacks" in the subject line, and your blog moniker and shipping address in your message.
Ever eaten a particularly memorable breakfast at a somewhat French restaurant? What was it and what makes it stand out?
