Interview

Lester Slade is country country – he lives in Nunavut, one of the northernmost communities in Canada. His new split, Time/Old Machine, combines the raw edge of his punk rock past and the high lonesome of his present. Slade took some time to reflect on his hard-won experience touring through rural Canada as a queer man, punk houses, sobriety, and the best venues he's played in.
