Additional Information
Christopher Pravdica is often associated with being the bass player of the legendary experimental rock group, Swans, as well as a number of other projects like Xiu Xiu, The Medicine Singers, and The Gunga Din, but last week, he played his first ever live show in Montreal under his solo project, We Owe—opening for other Mothland label bands, Victime and Yoo Doo Right. Pravdica was supported live by his longtime friend, drummer Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The show was an explosive debut of bassy and sinister post-punk with trippy visuals in the backdrop.
PAN M 360 spoke with Pravdica in person in the basement of Theatre Plaza just after his soundcheck and learned more about the solo project. Pravdica wrote a whole new batch of songs for the show and will soon be recording them for another album to follow-up last year’s Major Inconvenience.
We discussed the band name origins, shifting into more of a vocal frontman, and learned about some of the musical lore surrounding Pravdica and his many projects.
