Lights Off Features Ex Stills, Mobile Members

Former members of Canadian indie rockers The Stills, Mobile, The Snitches and Cafeine have formed a new band called Lights Off.

Ex-Stills guitarist Greg Paquet and Pat No (ex-Xavier Cafeine) came up with the idea for Lights Off, formed a live band and started playing shows at the end of 2009.

No wrote most of Lights Off's songs in his kitchen, and they'll appear on the band's upcoming self-titled EP, due out Feb. 12. The Lights Off EP was recorded by Joseph Donovan and Adrian Popovich (Sam Roberts Band, The Dears) at Montreal's Mountain City in late 2009.

You can download "These Kids Are Hard To Entertain," which will appear on the EP, for free here.

Paquet was the original guitarist for The Stills, but left the band in 2005 following the tour for 2003's Logic Will Break Your Heart. Lights Off also includes former Snitches' bassist and Xavier Cafeine member Ghislain Chartier, ex-Mobile drummer Pierre-Marc Hamelin and former Andre guitarist M. Philibert.

You can see Lights Off on Feb. 12 when they play an EP release show at Montreal's L'Escogriffe.

Here are the songs on the Lights Off EP:

"These Kids Are Hard To Entertain"
"You Always Say You're Sorry"
"Where The Night Takes You"
"Drella"
"Film School"
"The Worst"
