    Saw them so many times at the Gasworks in '75 and '76...Brought Elton John and crew to see them at the Colonial Tavern when he wanted to see some local flavor.

      Now it's Much different than back in the 70's and 80's.
      To start with there were hundreds of venues that PAID band's for playing the week or even just a weekend gig.
      Now it's all jam nights or karaoke!!
      Big difference.
      Miss those wild and crazy days!!

    I came home from a playing a gig back in the eighties, made a cup of tea (I know how to live the lifestyle, lol) and put the on the tv to wind down, and this band was on (a performance without the other singer, there were two drummers, and I think Carole was in a red jump suit). I'd never heard of them before, but I thought they were great. I stuck a tape in the video recorder and pressed play quick, had that for years until it wore out.
    Excellent, melodic songs, topped by Carole's raucous, in-your-face vocals, and there's something about the 'uh' that she adds to the end of some words that I really love!

    Crazy that Toronto was so up tight and yet so liberal in 1976. CBC playing Rough Trade and cops busting bath houses and gay bars. Too young to understand that time in Toronto (was a RT fan since 1981 and saw them in 1984). Glad Toronto has moved on from the gay bar raids but shouldn't we elect Carol as honorary Mayor? Carol for Mayor!

    Historically squeezed in there somewhere between Sparks and '80s King Crimson, sharing an era with Berlin-bound Bowie and Talking Heads, is Rough Trade -- guitarist Kevan Staples comparable to Robert Fripp on even a visual level by the turn of the decade.

    Wow, quite a reinvention, eh? From typical '70s rock band to 80s dark/edgy new wave/punk! It reminds me of the bands that started in the '70s rock scene then reinvented themselves, like the Warfield Foxes becoming the Motels.

    Why would there be? There's not a single lyric that's offensive in terms of words you can't say on television. That's part of its brilliance - it's filthy without triggering a single objection (well, except from people who think safer sex information and images for and of consenting adults should be censored - frig them, anyway ;) ).

    I don't think it could quite be described as typical. The lyrics are a bit out there. The music is admittedly a bit more conventional, but that was probably a bit of a camp touch. If one listens to, oh, BERLIN by Lou Reed, a similar disconnect occurs - pretty music with some deeply midnight lyrics.

    Man, what a great set. I saw them several times in the mid 70s, mostly at a Yonge Street bar whose name I've forgotten. These two were their most popular numbers. I liked the band better before they added the backup singer. Pope's vocals stood out better and the backup just added clutter in my view.
