The Interview Show with Reuben and the Dark #198

Reuben and the Dark is a indie rock band (with tinges of country) from Calgary fronted by Reuben Bullock. I met Reuben while we were both in Banff last summer. He took a break from recording to join me in a farmer's market to chat about his record Funeral Sky. The big story behind this record is that he worked with Chris Hayden from UK mega-group Florence + the Machine on a few of the tracks. Somehow I get shy but nice guy Reuben to talk about... The meanings behind his songs... His secret past as a skateboarder... How he met Florence + the Machine's drummer Chris Hayden by accident in Mexico... Telling Chris that he couldn't use some of the tracks they made together... Getting slammed against the wall by Canadian border officers... And much more. Listen to our chat!
