So glad to welcome Sebastien Grainger to My Little Underground! Sebastien is the drummer and singer of the legendary Canadian Dance-Punk band Death From Above 1979 and he is on the show to discuss the 20th anniversary of their debut album “You’re A Woman, I’m A Machine”. He's not exactly nostalgic about that time period but I appreciate him sharing fond memories of recording the LP and talking up the forward thinking nature of the band and more!
