Ladyhawk Record New Album And Film The Process For Documentary

Somebody is doing an indie-rock documentary about Ladyhawk that's due for release later this year. The film, titled "Let Me Be Fictional", follows the band around their home-town of Vancouver as they record their second album, Shots. "Let Me Be Fictional" is directed by Mona Mok (who also does producing, second camera, editing, and audio post-production supervision!) and Rob Leickner.Here is a trailer for it which is almost a mini-doc in itself:The website for "Let Me Be Fictional" has this description of the film and the band:

In LET ME BE FICTIONAL, Vancouver based indie-rock band, Ladyhawk, face their past, uniquely deal with society’s view of what makes a functioning adult and consume vast quantities of sangria during the process of recording their second album Shots.Ladyhawk are four guys ranging from 25 to 29 years formed as a band in 2003. Although they formed in Vancouver, all four grew up in the same rural city in British Columbia.For their sophmore album, Ladyhawk decide to return to their hometown of Kelowna and rent an old gutted farmhouse as the site of the recordings. The unique space is an escape from their everyday lives and adds to the atmospheric tone of their songs. Plus, because there is no running water, the band must use a bucket as a urinal.During the 10 days in Kelowna, they reflect on their past which informs their future, they encounter people they grew up with, they enjoy themselves at a Pride Tiger concert, and they allows themselves the luxury of concentrating on their music.While returning to Vancouver to complete the record, their touring van, full with instruments, flips over in the snowstorm. They all survive without injury, finish the record in a hurried 2 days, and begin a 6 week tour that ends in a picturesque seaside town.
