This is the project of Seattle's Nina Nastasia + Calgary band Florida BC. Co-lead singer Clinton St. John did this album art: jolielaidemusic.bandcamp.com/album/creatu...

Kippis, Katja!!!

As seen on CKUA Radio! Here’s the video Shawn “The Harpoonist” Hall was just telling about, complete with Harpoonist bobblehead doll, and collaborator Gordie Johnson playing some sort of terrifying villain.
