When we heard North of America had reunited and was playing a date in Montreal, Hooked on Sonics got to work.

Stalking them out courtesy of Meyer at Blue Skies Turn Black who passed us Micheal's email, we managed to get in touch with them and they were ready to do it. After playing a show for Pop Montreal, they stopped by the CJLO studios on October 2, 2005, the following afternoon before heading to Ottawa for another show.
