Carl Newman of THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

To conclude, we ask Carl Newman (aka A.C. Newman) of The New Pornographers some questions about endings and death.

Newman co-founded the power pop band in 1997 in Vancouver, Canada and the initial lineup also featured Neko Case, Destroyer’s Dan Bejar (who left the band in 2017), John Collins, and Blaine Thurier. Todd Fancey joined in 2003 and Newman’s niece Kathryn Calder entered the fray in 2005, partly because Case’s successful solo career meant she had to pull back from touring with the band. More recent additions are Joe Seiders and Simi Stone.
