About Me

Formed in August of 1978 in Vancouver. Original band was Nick Jones, Bill Napier-Hemy, Ian Tiles and Tony Bardach. Gord Nicholl joined 6 months later. There were some personnel changes, including a time with the legendary Dimwit on drums. Broke up in misery and disarray in May of 1981. Reformed to play 3 gigs in Japan in July 2006. Enjoyed it so much that we played some more, then started writing songs,and are now perilously close to releasing a new full length record. Lineup is the original five from above. Since reforming, we've played Kyoto, Tokyo, Vancouver, Toronto, New York and Austin. We don't do many gigs, but we've been lucky enough to have been offered great ones! Thanks to all who kept our name alive during the dark years....
