[C] _ _ _ [Bb] Bishkana here for CBC Music.
It's very late at night.
Very, very late.
Late for me.
[Eb] I don't know if it's late for No Means No.
John, Tom?
Not when you're in wild rose country. _ _ _
_ We are in wild rose country.
We're at Sled Island in Calgary, Alberta.
How are you feeling right now after playing another truly inspiring set, [Bb] if I might say?
Pretty happy.
We have been _ _ _ _ _ playing pretty well.
[Eb] Yeah, it was good.
No B-flats when there was supposed to be an A-flat?
I was fumbling around here and there.
I made a few mistakes.
_ We got [B] a whole new set together.
Well, _ new old set.
New old songs.
_ _ We only played one new song today [Bb] from our EPs.
Am I right?
This has been happening quite a bit lately where you just will start [G] to dig into the archives and add an older song back into [Bb] rotation? _
_ _ _ [E] _ John, please go ahead.
I just feel terrible. _
_ Is it weird?
It's nice having a large [N] repertoire.
You don't have to play the same old songs all the time.
You can mix it up.
No rags and bones tonight.
[F] We played Would We Be Alive, I think for the first time since 1996 [E] live.
I was wondering about that.
I can't remember.
It's one of the ones I made a mistake in.
_ _ It wasn't noticeable, if I might say.
The last time we [B] played that was with Ken Kempster.
Oh, _ [Dbm] _ _ [E]
interesting.
He left and we _ _ looked around for another drummer and couldn't find one.
Couldn't find an additional guy.
[Eb] We looked everywhere.
On the couch.
[E] _ _ [Em] We had people over.
They're hard to turn up.
It's true.
This was kind of a one-off.
The Sled Island had invited us out.
We're not on [Bb] tour right now.
We just came out for the one show.
[N] We're heading back over to Europe in September. _ _
We'll be ten weeks over there this fall.
Oh, great.
That's awesome.
_ I hear there may be a new EP as well?
_ I think it's at the pressing plant.
_ It's probably _ even being shipped [Eb] as we speak.
It's [N] a project that Robbie put together because he's totally into dub music and electronic music now. _ _
He managed to round up some _ [Eb]
dub mixers.
Some big names too.
[E] I'm not super into that music.
[Bb] _ _
One fellow, Sam Shackleton, apparently is very well known.
[E] _ Four of our songs have been deconstructed [B] and put back together for an EP.
It's pretty cool.
[Bb] He's got more response.
Probably going to do another four songs.
That's great.
Maybe one of his own.
We'll see.
Yeah, that's cool.
Before I let you go, we are in Calgary, Alberta.
I reckon over the last thirty odd years, No Means No have played Calgary [B] upwards of twelve times at least.
The first time was 1984.
Oh, okay.
[Eb] That was the first time. _ _
_ [Gb] _ Almost thirty!
It's a city where upscale dining is [Db] defined by everybody being able [Bb] to see the TV. _
_ _ _ Do you have a soft spot _ _ _ _ _ _ for_
So you have a bit of a soft spot [Eb] for Calgary or no? _
Tom, I wonder how you feel about Calgary.
You know, Calgary was terrible back in the 80s.
It was [Gb] so hard to get a good show. _
But like I say, it's all grown up.
It's a big town now.
So the shows here are quite good and a lot of music [Bb] is coming out of this town.
Would you normally [N] play_
You're playing a Legion.
You're playing No.
1 Legion, which is literally a Legion.
That's for people who can see.
It's a fantastic place.
It's a great place.
Where would you normally play at this point? _
_ In Calgary?
_ [Bb] _ _
Republic.
Okay.
[E] Hi-Fi we've played a number of times.
[Em] But [Bb] yeah, no, this is fun.
This is good?
Okay.
I think it's _ the _ [N] _
ideal_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] Wild Rose Convention.
Sure.
[Bb] _ _ Excellent.
Well, it's great to see you in Calgary.
I've seen you all over the place I feel like, but not really.
That's not true.
I've seen you here and there in Ontario.
It's nice to see you in Calgary [Eb] and_
Yeah, I don't know when we're going to be back out in Toronto. _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ Oh, great. _
[E] And then people can look at no-means-whatever.com for some information.
That's right.
Up to date.
Yes. _
[Bb] Thank _ _ _ you so much, John and Tom.
_ We should all go to bed.
Not together.
[B] Well, no, let's just depart.
[Gm] We'll go our [Bb] separate ways.
I'm very [Eb] tired.
More from Sled Island on CBC [Bb] Music.
Stay where you are.

Very, very late.
Late for me.
