BLACK MOLD HOLE
Faces 'n' Spaces: 9.2
Life
Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside is infamous for its visible repulsiveness. To outsiders, it’s the armpit of Canada’s West Coast, but to most Vancouver musicians, it’s the place where we work, live and play. Standing alongside the old hotels, dive bars and crack deals is the Abbott Jam Space, which for the past five years has been home to almost every Vancouver band worth mentioning. Black Mountain, Shearing Pinx, Blood Meridian, Sex Negatives, The Organ, Pride Tiger and many more have spent countless hours in this below-street-level cave, toiling over songs, making videos and recording albums.
