604 Decades Artists 64 Funnycars on West Canada's 80s Scene, Playing Legendary Venues & More

What was it like building a band in Western Canada before streaming, before social media, and before anyone outside your city knew your name? In this episode of Verses, Jonathan Simkin sits down with 64 Funnycars, one of Victoria's underground power-pop bands from the late 80s, to talk about the realities of building a music career in Canada during a completely different era. They share stories about: * Recording a full album in just 36 hours * Touring Western Canada with almost no infrastructure * Playing legendary venues like Harpo's Campus radio shaping the success of indie bands * The chaos of booking DIY tours before the internet * Why some bands chose not to chase fame * And much more!
