Lots of action at their shows, with at least one band member falling over. "That was a disgrace" said one person - okay, their bassist - after a particularly self-destructive show at the late Bumper's.
They call themselves "Canada's First and Only Rock'n'Roll Band" - dude, what about Tom Cochrane and Red Rider? Or The Wackers? Well, it proves they've also heard of Crime. What swell kids.
The whole crew: Kenny James! X-Ray X! Michael A. Hurts! Chase Manhattan! Rocky Nagashocky! At The Million Dollar Marxists CD release show.
It was X-Ray X's turn to fall over. As usual.
The band offers the following news for 2005: "????????????" And yes, that's an exact quote.
With a band this stylish, you just know you want an individual look-see ... so from the top, it's ...
Kenny James ... looks a bit like Keef done, 30 years ago! Wait. Make that 40 years ago.
Michael A. Hurts ... he's very tall and skinny.
Chase Manhattan ... named after a bank. That's very punk rock. Looking very natty in his Johnny Thunders-style bandanna, too.
X-Ray X. A bit tipsy. Known to molest disco balls. Likes an inappropriately zippered shirt.
Rocky Nagashocky. Drummer. Sits at the back. Thus the inferior photo. Sorry Rocky. Choice quote: "We don't know what we're doing." No worries, it was only temporary.
