Elephant Stone on Southern Souls
While in Toronto for CMW, we met up with the amazing Mitch Fillion to film two songs for Southern Souls. The plan for the shoot was to find a location on Gerard St. E. (also known as Little India). We checked out a few restos and a music store, but to no avail. Then we happened upon Maharani Fashions.The kind punjabi (represent!) manager welcomed us into his shop and we knocked off two numbers: “A Morning Song” from The Seven Seas and “Savage Soul” from The Glass Box EP.
You can check out the session at southernsouls.ca. Thanks again to Mitch, Maharani Fashions, and all their clientele for putting up with us.
US Tour, SXSW, and CMW!
