I decided to start 2010 with one of my favorite Vancouver bands right now, Said The Whale.

I reached Said The Whale frontman Tyler Bankcroft on his fuzzy cellphone from the bowels of the band‘s Gastown rehearsal space. He did his best to remain diplomatic when I asked him what it would be like to kiss Grant Lawrence from CBC. And just listen for when I let another favorite Vancouver band, The Zolas, crash the interview and really give Tyler a hard time. Don’t worry. He gives as good as he gets. This is one of the funniest interviews I have done this year!

Tracks played on the show...

1) Said the Whale "Camillo (The Magician)"

2) Said the Whale "B.C. Orienteering"

3) Said the Whale "Black Day In December"
