Bright Leaves

Hi hi!

Yesterday's Buzz was a great time!

I had Paul Kuzbik in to talk about his solo project, his upcoming album Still Love.  It is awesome! He's been in a range of Saskatoon bands, most recently The Pistolwhips, but decided to persue his own musical endeavours. With the help of some rad friends, he recorded and put together the album on his own, playing each instrument! His single release show is tomorrow (Friday, Oct 11) at the Capitol Music Club!
