mint xmas cd
Mint records is having a xmas party. Its hosted by your bff Narduwar and he’s also showcasing past interviews from his video vault. You can read it all about in an article I wrote for beyond robson here.
Christmas to me is a time of overly decorated houses, snowmen in backyards and spending time with friends and family. But here in Vancouver where condos outrun houses and there’s a lack of snow, the only thing I can rely on is spending time with friends and family. The good people at Mint Records are putting on a party but not just any party… a Ridiculous Early Christmas Party. Last year Mint Records not only put on a party in Vancouver , but also in Victoria, and the year before that Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand joined Nardwuar the Human Serviette’s the Evaporators on stage to sing “Take Me Out”. This year will probably be no different and equally full of surprises and good times………
