Thus forming the indie-rock version of one of those middle-aged-comedian card games in Louie, members of Midlake have rounded up a group of their friends to start a new group called BNQT, pronounced “banquet.” The group features 5 lead singers–Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy, Fran Healy of Travis, and Midlake’s Eric Pulido–and will release Vol. 1, a 10-song album of originals, on April 28 via Bella Union/Dualtone.
