rockin' daddy

I started in the mid '80's with a band called "LES PARAZITS" i didn't recorded anything with them, i was with them for about 4 months. In the late '80's i formed a punk-rock band called "BATHROOM ORKESTRAW" with Jean Proulx, Kevin Labrie and a drummer that i don't remember the name wich was later replaced by Eric Lavoie.From 1986 to 1989 we played a lots of shows , mostly in the Montreal area, then in 1989 former "NORTHERN VULTURES" guitarist and good friend Mario"fritz" Ethier joined us. We put out 2 demo tapes under the "BATHROOM ORKESTRAW" name.In 1990 we change the too juvenile name for what we thought would be a more serious name "VAGABONDS" was born.In 1993 we put out our first cd called " HIT THE ROAD". 19 songs of pure punk-rock, drunkcore anthems.Around 1998"Fritz" left and is lead guitar duties was taken by Tom Pilon( ex-UNKNOWNS) later that year WALTER's drummer extraordinaire Simon became the VAGABONDS skin beater .Then long time friend and guitarist Jean "wescott" Proulx left and I ,lead singner Marc"doog"Duguay took the rythm guitar spot.In the summer of 1999 we recorded our second album " 13 STEPS" but right after the recording due to band members other interests and lack of time,VAGABONDS called it quits. In 2001 joinned by guitarist Pascal Jean, drummer " Custom Pat" ( GUTTER DEMONS) and Brian Tremblay on slap bass we started a neo-rockabilly band called "FLIGHT 13". For about 3 years we brought our high octane " punk-spirited" kind of rockabilly to many venues around the province of Quebec. In 2003 we recorded a 5 songs demo cd. then the band splitted. Since then i didn't played in any " official" bands but i wrote ,jammed and recorded with some of my friends. I'm currently in the process of putting together a "for fun only" project band with my brother "johnny dee dee" , "Frank Makak" and "Custom Pat".
