A few days ago the
Straight posted a blog in which Vancouver guitar great Shaun Verreault was asked to name his five favourite local bands and musicians.
One of the acts he mentioned was Strippers Union, which features Craig Northey from the Odds and guitarist Rob Baker from the Tragically Hip.
Verreault had heard an advance copy of the band s new double album,
The Undertaking, and was mighty impressed. Craig s forwarded me a preview copy to check out, he said, and it s excellent. It s such deep and interesting songwriting; it s like the Kinks for our generation.
