11 Questions With Bend Sinister

Vancouver-based rock band Bend Sinister (Photo: Justin Tyler) are rolling through town Thursday promoting their latest "less prog, more classic" rock longplayer Stories of Brothers, Tales of Lovers. Also on the bill is Montreal alt-rockers Mobile.

Bend Sinister's drummer, Jason Dana, was cool enough to answer 11 questions for yours truly, and by doing so reveals he digs Winnipeg's own Neil Young, Slumdog Millionaire, and even provides a pretty solid answer to my patented Who's Your Favourite New Kid on the Block question.

For more on the band, see Jen from Uptown's article here.
