Japandroids have announced a live album.
‘Massey Fucking Hall’ was recorded at the famed Toronto venue on the cult rock duo’s tour supporting 2017’s ‘Near to the Wild Heart of Life’. The live record will feature cuts from all three of their studio LPs, including ‘Post Nothing’ highlight Heart Sweats, which you can check out below.
‘Massey Fucking Hall’ is out digitally on June 19 and vinyl later this year on October 2 through ANTI- Records. “We never thought we’d have the opportunity to play at Massey Hall,” drummer David Prowse said in a statement.
“It’s the most legendary venue in Canada by far, but it didn’t seem like a natural spot for a band like us to play. It’s a 100+ year old seated theatre, which isn’t the usual type of spot you expect to see Japandroids.
“Honestly, when we got off the stage that night, I remember feeling a sense of relief and exhilaration, but the whole thing felt like a bit of a blur. It was a very emotional show for me. We were both pretty nervous getting up on that stage.”
