Question for Canuckistani music fans

Yeah, I think so, probably still packing them in on college campuses across the country. They appear in a commercial for some product or service that escapes me now.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

This kind of post tells me you need a Kickaxe to the head. It is Weakerthan than the Shuffle Demons gooned up on April Wine.

 

JJ is a Killer Dwarf.

 

I liked their first 2 albums.....they never got any airplay down here either.

What about Anvil!!!??? Has anyone seen that documentary?

 

Rene Simard trumps all.

 

The ad is for Newfoundland, I think.

 

That's it, ta.

 

Do they play a rock version of "Epiphany"?

 

Speaking of the Rheostatics, Dave Bidini will be launching his first solo album tomorrow (Saturday) with a series of events, ending up at, where else, the Horseshoe Tavern.

After twenty-seven prolific years of defining quirky Canadiana with defunct hometown heroes the Rheostatics, Dave Bidini will be celebrating the release of his first solo album at the Horseshoe Tavern this Saturday, June 6. Not content with convention, however, he will also be celebrating in record stores, book stores, music stores, and right out in the streets earlier that evening, with guest musicians, authors, and comedians joining him along the way.

Bidini is also one helluva writer. His "Tropic of Hockey" is in my top ten sports books

Juliette wipes her ass with Rene Simard.

 

The Ugly Duckings kicked ass!! "Nothin'" and "Gaslight" were both tremendous records, easily as good as anything on the Billboard charts at the time, 1966-67.
