PARIS HILTON


Artist: Mocking Shadows


Not your typical blues band
Today, a chat with a band whose music was used in the documentary series Kink - yet who have not actually seen the show. I'm sure the Mocking Shadows never intended to be purveyors of "porn music."

Bandleader Rob Phillips says they were told Kink was an expose of the Vancouver street scene. The song in question, Part of Me, was written about "how awful it is to be depressed in a bar," so it fits, he says. What do you think "kink" means, man? The show features some of the ugliest people you've ever seen doing disgusting, albeit consensual, things to each other in some of the seediest settings imaginable. Cue wah-wah pedal.

Not just mock rock
They may have cut their teeth on the cover band circuit, but Calgary's Mocking Shadows are anything but an imitation.

 The funky, groove-based seven-piece still plays its fair share of covers, but with a difference.
