Song of the Day: April 24, 2017 - "Paid A Million Dollars (To Live Like You're Poor)" by Kitty & The Rooster
The rock & roll duo Kitty & The Rooster is comprised of Vancouver mainstays Jodie Ponto & Noah Walker (respectively) and their latest song "Paid A Million Dollars (To Live Like You're Poor)" is a big middle finger to the Vancouver trend of "renovictions". In their own words:
It's not every day that you get asked to play a rock n' roll show directly across the street from the house you were renovicted from. Never a band to pass up an opportunity for sweet revenge, Kitty & The Rooster wrote Paid A Million Dollars (To Live Like You're Poor) to serenade their former landlords. If you've ever been renovicted (if you live in Vancouver you probably have!), this song is for you.
Like they said, if you've ever been kicked out of your place, or even if you know someone who has -- and, let's face it, if you're reading this you almost definitely do -- crank it for a bit of catharsis.
