Bran Van 3000's last album French Garden was released in 2015.

He recalled waking up in the late 90s, face down on a lawn in West Hollywood before saying to himself: "What the hell am I doing, drinking in LA?"

"These days, I find it more and more strange. It’s just been a crazy ride."
The group recently shared a clip of them back together and performing in Montreal.
