Canadian power-pop supergroup The New Pornographers are on the road as we speak, celebrating anniversaries of two of their classic albums—the 21st of their bracing 2000 debut—by playing them in full.
Initially based in Vancouver, the band burst onto the scene at the turn of the 21st century and gained significant attention for two main reasons.
