Chad Vangaalen & Vice Battle Demons, Play DIY Instruments & Sing "Sara"

"Today on Practice Space: Chad Vangaalen & Vice Battle Demons, Play DIY Instruments & Sing "Sara

For your "this is awesome" radar. At long last, VBS embarks on another round of raiding our favorite bands' private sanctums and observing their music at its most intimate and rehearsal-y. This week's guest on the VBS show Practice Space is singer, musician, handyman, DIY instrument maker, artist, and all around good vibe guy Chad Vangaalen.

In this short and sweet video, shot by Spike Jonze, VBS heads into the gorgeous Canadian Rockies to hang out at Chad Vangaalen's backyard studio in Calgary. In a previous life the studio was a makeshift slaughterhouse and so after a heavy dose of "sage-ing" away the bad demons vibes, Chad takes us around his studio/work bench. Walking around we were mesmerized by his eclectic hand crafted instruments which look like they're straight out of a Dr. Seuss book.

Finally we end it with an endearing version of Sara, his new song that came out a few weeks ago. Watch Chad Vangaalen - Practice Space Season 2 | VBS.TV"
