A very successful (though short-lived) new-wave cover dance band that played a lot in 2003/4. As one wag put it though: “A loose collection of Vancouver musicians who, despite their experience, ought to have known better.” Says one ex-member “...what more could you want? Cash, booze, girls dancing around me in scanty club-wear... it felt as if I’d died and gone to Beer Commercial”. The group can still be coaxed into playing, but it takes a lot of dosh.
