I’ll be honest here. I wasn’t originally going to put this song on the Stash because it doesn’t have anything to do with pot, and the reference to “smoking” involves the act of smoking things out of caves. But then I was reminded of this recent news story and that, coupled with the fact that this song is really good, was enough to make me post it.
Poorfolk is a the project of Ottawa, Canada resident Jonathan Pierce. Pierce was once in a “party-math rock” band called The Marato. I find the concept of any math rock being party-worthy intriguing. I mean, who wants to dance to an alternating 7/8 and 5/4 beat? It’s nearly impossible!
Anyway, their website is down right now but I’ll link it in case it comes back up, and, as always, you can check out their myspace page. If there’s a band out there that doesn’t have a myspace page these days, they deserve a medal.
Have a great weekend Stashers, and I’ll see you on Monday!
