This six-piece collective that originally started off as a bunch of street performers in 2004 ended up staying together for seven years, releasing three albums and cementing themselves in Quebec folk-country lore.
This is from their 2007 2nd album Kerosene & Coal, and is about a restaurant in Montreal. The video is mostly consisting of working class scenes from along the Lachine Canal in Montreal - they were a working-class group making working-class music.
I really wish they were still around, because they made some amazing music.
I always want to try to get you a live version, so you can see the band in action. THIS was hard, but this short live performance includes this song, and you can see the mellow dynamic of the band.
Oh, and keep listening. There's a lot of great songs they play.
