Jena Malone and Lem Jay Ignacio spoke with City News Toronto about their musical inspirations for their two person band, The Shoe, ahead of their performances in the city today. Jena also talked about how it feels to be part of Mockingjay, which is obviously going to be one of the biggest movies of the year:
It's beautiful to work on something that you know people already support and love so it's kind of just like, you know, waiting for Christmas. Like you already know that you got everyone the best present ever, and you're just, like, waiting for them to unwrap it. So, it's just exciting.
The Shoe performed on Breakfast Television this morning (see video below) and in Trinity Square park in Toronto today for the North By Northeast Festival. They'll also be doing a show for their Thompson Takeover tour tomorrow night, June 17th at 8:30pm in the lobby of the Thompson Toronto.
