The New Pornographers perform in The Current studio

August 11, 2014
Having played Rock the Garden in 2008, the New Pornographers are no strangers to the view of the Minneapolis skyline. On Friday, Aug. 8, the Vancouver-rooted but now variously based indie rockers gathered in the Twin Cities for a show at the Skyline Music Festival at Target Field.
En route to the gig, the New Pornographers stopped by The Current's studio to play some songs and to chat with Mary Lucia.
Listen to the band's conversation with Mary to hear about how the band members consider their artistic longevity, about how the new record came together, and about the band's decision to finally start appearing in their own music videos.
You'll also hear the New Pornographers' Kathryn Calder describe A Matter of Time, a forthcoming documentary about ALS (also called Lou Gehrig's Disease) in which she was invited to participate.
