This Saturday April 3rd, Windsor's Lost Patrol will reunite for the first time since their split in the 90s at Windsor's FM Lounge. Lost Patrol mixed elements of Punk, Garage Rock, Post Punk, Soul, and New Wave for a sound entirely their own. They recorded one full length album and many singles and EP's. Their self titled album which contained fourteen tracks was released through the Stop It Baby label in France in 1988.
The folowing Interview was done between me and Paul Langan, the bassist/founder of Lost Patrol:
1. Prior to this reunion when was the last time that Lost Patrol played together as a band?
About 15 years ago
2. What were the series of events that led up to this reunion on April 3rd?
Our singer Karen Marrero's mother Dianne died and we are were all at the funeral. Dianne was a big supporter of the band. We were all still friends and everyone was in good health so we emailed back and forth and eventually picked a date for the show. We are dedicating the show in memory of Karen's mother.
For myself, my son Dylan (http://dylanlangan.ca/ ) plays guitar and he got to be back playing bass. We jammed in our basement to get me in shape again
3. The band had a connection with France and Stop It Baby Records. How did that come about?
I can't remember exactly. Back around the mid 1980s there was alot of people in Europe and North America putting out these small fanzines that included a free 45 7" EP record or cassette tape of a compilation of bands. We started getting put on them and somehow they heard of us through one of the zines. There was a great zine out of London Ontario at that time called WhatWave. They had a band compilation cassette with each issue.
4. Finally, is there anything else you would like to add or say?
Come out to the show at the FM Lounge on April 3rd, its probably the only time you can see the original Lost Patrol.
