As far as I can remember the story, Spencer was called by Alex Megelas of Grenadine Records to play a show opening for Melon Galia and Arcade Fire. Spencer agreed, although he had no band, so Spencer called up Dan to get something together for the show.<br>They wrote songs in Spencer's apartment playing with a drum machine through comupter speakers.<br>I got a call about a week before the show from Spencer asking me if I wanted to play a show that Saturday. I agreed and we rehearsed as a full band with amps and PA the day before and the day of our first show. All of the gear was borrowed; I don't think we had any equipment of our own except for Spencer's Juno-4 keyboard.<br>I am pretty sure that set the precedent of our band always being half-assed... http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Wolf Parade http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/music/Tat4vu-d/wolf-parade-you-are-a-runner-and-i-am-my-fathers-son/ Wed, 20 Dec 2006 21:04:41 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/music/Tat4vu-d/wolf-parade-you-are-a-runner-and-i-am-my-fathers-son/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p2.imeem.com/Tat4vu-d.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> 4x0wF4KfLp Wolf Parade http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/music/mff6zN3-/wolf-parade-shine-a-light/ Wed, 20 Dec 2006 21:03:31 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/music/mff6zN3-/wolf-parade-shine-a-light/"><img border="0" src="http://icons-p3.imeem.com/mff6zN3-.jpg" title="Click to play this song"/></a></div> WoTVTYg5k9 Wolf Parade http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/video/zKnDSsWW/wolf-parade-ill-believe-in-anything-live-music-video/ Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:15:24 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/video/zKnDSsWW/wolf-parade-ill-believe-in-anything-live-music-video/"><img width="100" height="75" border="0" src="http://srv0204-06.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/809e9700dc5361a75cbef071e819a0d0_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> T9rH_nH-MY Wolf Parade http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/video/TjntcuRy/wolf-parade-ill-believe-in-anything-music-video/ Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:14:51 -0000 <div><a href="http://www.imeem.com/wolfparade/video/TjntcuRy/wolf-parade-ill-believe-in-anything-music-video/"><img width="100" height="71" border="0" src="http://srv0204-07.sjc3.imeem.com/g/v/f4b50a3c139856923ae0e38d92072133_00010.jpg" title="Click to play this video"/></a></div> yL1bX8m2zx
