Bif Naked Explains Delay

antiMusic reports: antiMusic's Morley Seaver lined up another one of his favorite artists for this week's MorleyView. This time around he spoke with the "real" Queen of Canadian rock, Bif Naked, who just released her first album since 2001. Here is an excerpt from the MorleyView where Bif explains the long delay between albums. 

antiMusic: Purge came out in 2001. Why such a long wait?

Bif: It's always the same. I always wait four years between records and I'm sure I'll wait another four before I do another one. We usually tour an album that long and you know, touring is definitely the best part of my job, to be sure. And it just seems like you know, the commitments we have in every territory where the record comes out, entails us being there geographically. And we were just frankly unable to get into the studio until we did. 

You can check out the rest of the Morley at the full story link!
