Terry MacLeod introduces the bands

“Calgary’s Reuben and the Dark is a collection of four multi instrumentalists and vocalists led by Reuben Bullock. The group makes chilling, emotive folk and soul driven by dark, introspective lyrics that explore the duality of misery and joy.

Boasting a rare chemistry sparked by the relationship of Reuben and brother and percussionist Distance Bullock, Reuben and the Dark has emerged organically from Canada’s stellar independent scene on the strength of often anthemic compositions that translate the language of emotion into song with haunting clarity. ”   from  http://www.icelandicfestival.com/main.asp?cat_ID=2

The camera overexposed, and it turned into one of my favourite carnival photos ever!
