Teenlion, the debut album by EX MODERN TEEN, took fifteen years to create. Charles Granger (guitar and vocals) spent half of is life recording the weird and wonderful songs that him and his friends would concoct late into the night and into the wee hours of the morning. Like a rock and roll hermit Charles toiled away in the small town of La Broquerie crafting apocalyptic pop gems. Drawing inspiration from artists like Juliana Hatfield, Half Japanese, Eric’s Trip and the Holy Trinity (Lou Reed, Iggy Pop & David Bowie). The result is a sprawling work of Lo-Fi grandiosity, that is as strange as it is catchy. If EX MODERN TEEN was conceived in attics and basements of the small town of La Broquerie it was born on the stage of Winnipeg’s Standard Tavern in a display as weird and spontaneous as the songs on the album. When Charles got a chance to play a show he gathered some of the musicians he had played with over the years and gave them aliases, costumes and a set of one riff rock and roll masterpieces. The group didn’t practice (and still has not practiced) and revels in spontaneous rock and roll pageantry. From the tambourine playing indie rock hype man “Afro-Starchild” to the bewitching intergalactic Go-Go Girls, you never know what’s gonna happen at an EX MODERN TEEN show because they never know what’s gonna happen at an EX MODERN TEEN show... and that’s the way they like it.
