Vancouver indie rockers Said the Whale are quickly becoming a well-known presence in the Canadian music scene. The band, which was formed back in 2007, has released two studio albums, toured throughout Canada and the U.S., and even won this year's Juno Award for New Group of the Year.
Over the past month, the band has been on the road with fellow indie rockers Tokyo Police Club and Dinosaur Bones, touring across five provinces in the great nation of Canada. Last night, I had a chance to chat with Said the Whale frontman Tyler Bancroft about everything from the creation of the band, to touring, to the Juno Awards, to the delights of food.

[Interview] DJ Shadow Talks About Tour, His Upcoming Album and Working On DJ Hero & DJH2
Last week I had the pleasure of having a quick chat with DJ Shadow, who is currently out on tour in the US. He filled me in on "The Sphere" that is currently part of his live show and the progress he's made on his upcoming album. Since Rocko and I have so much fun playing DJ Hero together on Xbox Live, I also asked him to share his experience with the whole process of working on DJ Hero & DJH2. I must say, I wish I had more time to talk with him. He was very laid back and had a lot of insightful things to say about his music and the creative process that goes into all of his work. Very interesting stuff.
You can check out the interview in it's entirety below. Enjoy!
DJ Shadow is on tour now. Tour Dates and sphere visuals after the jump!
