Backstage at Osheaga, 'Artist Land' offers chance encounters

by Michael Joffe

They called it Artist Land, and people just wouldn’t stop tweeting about it. Smoothies, drinks, a buffet table that offered everything (including prophylactics) and of course, bands. Lots of them. We caught up with Metric’s Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw to chat about soundtracks, summer festivals and new projects. The full interview will go live soon, but until then here are a few shots from Artist Land. Yes, that’s Thurston Moore drinking a smoothie. Photos by Joe Fuda for AUX TV.
