Singer-songwriter Matt Costa (you might know him as the guy who wrote "Mr. Pitiful") is back on the road this fall, touring his latest record, Santa Rosa Fangs. The new record is about three siblings in California as they deal with life, love and death. Costa built the story partially from his own experiences growing up in California.

I hung out with Matt when he visited Vancouver over this past summer. It was a beautiful summer evening outside the Biltmore and we chatted while watching people go about their evening routines. At one point, the interview was interrupted by three frisky dogs and that moment this interview one of my favorite interviews this year.

In which strange place did Matt find a band brother? Why did he include two versions of the same song on the new record? What's he been up to in the five years since his last record? How does Matt know his wife is getting stoned while he is on tour? You'll have to listen to find out!
