Here is a video from Pierre Richardson of the awesome Ottawa based label Bruised Tounge of us playing our cover of Money (That’s What I Want) Really Diggin’ Emily’s head bangin!

LANTERN NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
So Lantern has a rather ambitious plan to tour across the USA and up to Canada this fall. We have a few leads on quite a few places but are having difficulty booking the southern United States. We would love to play the south and bring our brand of blues to the place where it originated. If any of you have any leads to bookers, venues, bands or advice that you think could help us out, please send...

Weird Canada review of Lantern
Thanks for the kind words T and agreed.

Weird skonky-snotty punk from Essex. It’s making me hungry.

It’s a totally righteous mid-air collision of Bassholes-style blues-roots disturbation, guitar overload (à la Randy Holden) and the stillness of space.
