I’ve often lamented that we don’t have nearly enough musicians on the show, and now here we are two weeks in a row talking to great bands from our home province of Quebec. Men I Trust graced the Green Stage at this year’s edition of Osheaga and Dragos and Emma from the band were kind enough to meet up with us after the festival to talk about the festival, Shaun White wanting a dog to attack Emma and we play some weird games of “Would You Rather” at the end that get a little NSFW.

Also, Scott sits in for Walter on this one since Walter is out of town at the moment. Enjoy the show and be sure to Follow Men I Trust on Facebook and on Twitter and Instagram  (@menitrust) and keep track of their upcoming shows at BandsInTown. Oh! And definitely give them a listen over at Bandcamp or your favorite streaming service.GPYS Men I Trust 1

Osheaga 2017: Men I Trust Make Magic in their Music

a0357073465_16With this year’s edition of Osheaga right around the corner, 9to5.cc is taking the time to reach out to some of the local, Quebec artists that will be showcased at Montreal’s biggest music festival.

First up is “Men I Trust”, who’ve released two full length albums since 2014. The band has fully embraced the “DIY” ethos of music making and are fully involved with every creative element of the band.

This means they not only compose and record all of their music but they also master, mix and edit all of their tracks. Not only that, but they also shoot and direct all of their music videos (each one visually beautiful in their own right as well).

I asked Dragos a few questions about their upcoming time at Osheaga.

Keith: Obviously, Osheaga is a huge festival and the headliners tend to be big stars from all over the world. How important is it to you that local Quebecois artists be given the time to shine at Osheaga?

Dragos: It is important because there are a lot of emerging artists that are at an international level in the local scene. Osheaga is a perfect festival for them to shine. It makes the artists and the people happy to see the local scene in such a huge event.  Shout out to our friends Kroy and Geoffroy who will be there too.

K: Conversely, last year Men I Trust had a tour of China and the video for “Plain View” consists mostly of footage of the band from that tour. What was it like to be a Canadian band so far away from home? 

D: China was so good to us. We had a blast. People were really welcoming, nice and caring. As a public, they are so enthusiastic during shows! We were moved to see some people singing the lyrics and really knowing our material so far from home. They really gave us a big wave of love and we hope to be back there soon! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
