Mac DeMarco Pranks Bandmate by Purchasing Billboard With His Face on It

Byhiphop

Mac DeMarco has mellowed a bit since his early days pulling antics like running around on stage naked and putting drumsticks up butt (although that video is still only a quick Google search away). But this week he proved he still has some tricks up his sleeve.

Using part of the promotional budget for his forthcoming album, This Old Dog, DeMarco pranked his bandmate Jon Lent this week by purchasing a billboard with the bassist’s face on it in Los Angeles. Using a candid photo of Jon along with the words “This is… Jon Lent,” the ad also includes a small reference to Mac’s new album.

Of course, like the rest of his Instagram photos, Mac took the opportunity to make the announcement of his prank along with a far-too-long string of hashtags including “#lol #jonnydidntknow #jonnyknowsnow #bigjonny #jonnyuptop #jonnyontheboard #jonnysbigsurprise #heresjonny.” See photos of the billboard below and look for This Old Dog to drop tonight at midnight.
