Blacklist Royals - 9/11/10

*INTERVIEW TO BE POSTED ASAP - stay tuned*

Nashville's Blacklist Royals stopped by CJLO's studios on the evening of their Saturday night show in Montreal, sent our way courtesy of publicist extraordinaire, the lovely Melanie Kaye.  Opting to do something a little special and stripped down for the Hooked on Sonics show, the band lugged up an amp and a Les Paul and did it "Billy Bragg-style with frontman Nat playing most of the songs solo, or with some background vocals from the rest of the guys and accordian (!) on one song "Jolie Blonde".

Some of the nicest guys that have ever set foot in CJLO, the guys were super laid back, and genuinely excited to be in Canada and Quebec.  The whole session had more of a vibe of hanging out with your buddies while they played you some tunes.  Nat also gave us an exclusive brand new track in "Bound and Drawn" that he described as "so new, the rest of the guys haven't even heard it yet".

Check out the songs and videos below, this really was a great time, and if you ever see the Blacklist Royal boys on the road (where they pretty much live these days), give 'em a high five from CJLO.
