The Neurotics - are the embodiment of fab British Invasion sixties classic rock, or whatever you want to call it.The Neurotics began their careers with the 1962 smash U.K. album, "Please Please Oh Please Please Me (Please)."Their wild new music, which they dubbed "rock and roll," soon took the world by storm. Sticky (drums), Woody (guitar, harmonica), Dirty (guitar, keyboards), and Lumpy (bass) became universally known as the "Flab Four," due to their tight trousers and trendy weight problem. Their songs were immediately stolen by the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and Tom Jones.Sadly for music lovers everywhere, the entire band became horribly drunk in Murmansk in 1979. When they regained consciousness in 1992, the Neurotics found the world of rock and roll in a shambles, and set out to put things right. Ever since, they've been driving fans round the world into a Fab-Rock frenzy! |

Chilliwack - as the driving force behind Chilliwack during their illustrious career, Bill Henderson knew that music was his calling early in life. The native of Vancouver was already a working musician while still in high school. He was a student at UBC in 1964 when he formed the group, The Classics. Two years would pass before he then founded The Collectors and was signed to a record deal. After two records and a string of radio singles between 1967 and 1970, including "Lydia Purple" and "Early Morning" which found them touring with the likes of The Doors and Jefferson Airplane, The Collectors were dead and Chilliwack was born, consisting of drummer Ron Turney, Clair Lawrence on sax and keyboards and Glen Miller on bass. |

Goddo - after leaving Fludd, Toronto native and local bass wiz Greg Godovitz formed Goddo along with guitarist Gino Scarpelli and drummer Marty Morin in 1975. The band toured central Canada and dipped into the States occasionally while honing their chops. They put out an independant 45 which featured a copy of The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" later that year. The trio continued to pay their dues in dimly-lit bars the next couple of years until they were signed to a deal and released their self-titled debut in '77. No hits were spawned from the record but tracks like "Sweet Thing" let it be known they were a talented trio with a fresh, straight-forward approach to recording, utilizing few overdubs which helped create the 'raw sound' they would later become known for in a near-unprecendented fashion. |
