Near Castlegar

Near Castlegar was a one-off joining of forces between Justice Schanfarber of Pork Queen and Zumpano's Michael Ledwidge and Jason Zumpano. The result was the six-song In January EP, released on California's Shrimper Records in 2001. The band's calm, electronic songs were a refreshing surprise. Unfortunately, the trio never recorded together again, preferring to rest on the laurels of In January. ~ Stephen Cramer
