Aaww, we should get him fixed! Fixed for good We should get him fixed! Fixed for good Can't fix this, Can't fix this Can't fix this, Can't fix this Can't fix this, Can't fix this Can't fix this, Can't fix this "Well it's a sick world, bad planet. Send it back to the T.V. repairman, he could get it fixed. We should save our generation: ...Get it fixed!"

about

‘The Lonesome Vampires Society’ is one of the most solidly powerful albums to come out of the city last year… The full-length disc of unremitting rock encompassing industrial overtones and a fine ear for harmony is something that most musicians could be proud of. Jamie Omeara –HOUR

TALAMASCA are the town’s premier purveyors of vamp rock (…) Chriss Lee proves himself a superior songwriter. Chris Yurkiw –MIRROR

The leader and singer CHRISS LEE is one of the most enigmatic guys on the Montreal rock scene. (…) Lee loves to provoke or even destabilize his listener.
The guy is almost embarrassingly sensitive, quick and extremely lucid, we strongly recommend you discover his universe. Patrick Marsolais -VOIR

Fronted by the dementedly charismatic Chriss Lee and considering the extremely theatrical content of TALAMASCA’s performance; it’s appropriate to label them as ‘The watched’ as their popularity continues to grow. Amy & Rob Musil -EXCLAIM
