After two busy years of touring, recording, making instruments, and performing, Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers returns with Fruit and Ash. The new four-song EP follows up the genry-defying ensemble's debut full length, Hans My Lion. The recording is already turning heads, as does the band's live show to be sure, garnering attention from the likes of Verb and CBC Scene.

That isn't Winnipeg's only change to catch Flying Fox: the band is one of the acts taking over the West End Cultural Centre on June 6 for the third edition of unique Cinematheque fundraiser, Bands vs. Filmmakers, which melds the work of local filmmakers and local musicians.
