Lights Off
Head-started by Pat E. No & Gregory L. Paquet over breakfast one day, the “yet-to-be-classic live line-up” came together during the last breath of 2009. They set out to play a few shows before the decade’s end. 2010 finds them releasing their first E.P. on February 12th at l'Esco and taking many stages hostage.
The first single, These Kids Are Hard To Entertain, is presently available for free download at lightsoff.bandcamp.com
Written by Pat E. No, mostly in his kitchen. Inspiration came while jogging in the park, drinking too much coffee, walking furiously around town or just laying around the house in his underwear. The Lights Off E.P. was recorded by Joseph Donovan and Adrian Popovich (Sam Roberts Band, The Dears, Priestess…) at Mountain City, MTL in the winter of 2009.

Press quotes
NEUF EN DIX: Ils s’activeront dans pas long: Dix noms neufs pour entamer la nouvelle décennie :
Projet du batteur Pat No – qui tient ici le micro et non les baguettes – et de l’ex-Stills Greg
Paquet, le quintette (qui comprend aussi d’ex-membres de Caféïne, Mobile et André) nous ramène à la belle époque du noise-pop des années 90. Pensez Sloan à l’époque où ils avaient un pouls.
Olivier Lalande, Nightlife
Avec Lights Off, on découvre les talents d’interprète et de compositeur de Pat No.
