Since then, this Vancouver-hailing duo, who’ve shunned adding numbers to their ranks, have split up, avoided death (guitarist Bring King suffered a perforated ulcer) and then celebrated shoving two fingers up at the Grim Reaper by reuniting. Their follow-up LP, Celebration Rock is out June 4, and they’re touring in support.
