1. Sorta
...In a "geez, are they still around?" sort of way.

Never heard anything other than whatever album had "I Go Blind" on it... remember thinking the rest of the album was a little uninspired.

...Wow, Robb, do you like them or not? :) Sorta!

4. I saw them in 1983, opening for the Three O'Clock
at the Odd Fellows Hall in Seattle.

<dating myself yet again...>

My username comes from a silent movie, BTW. It is not meant to imply in anyway the "youth" of this poster. ;-)

14. The Three O'Clock ...
Now there was a band!

I liked 54-40, too.

I was wondering if I was having a flashback when I saw that they were performing again, but if Mick and the boys can keep at it for 43 years, well, I won't begrudge any Paisley Undergrounder who's opening for some absurd supergroup 'round 2023.

"Ladies and Gentlemen ... Opening for Courtney, Spears, Avril and Beck, it's Green On Red!"

11. I'm pretty sure 'Im An Adult Now'
is The Pursuit of Happiness. Another great Canadian band that fizzled south of the ... well, 54-40. Always pissed me off how that happened -- I'm still pissed off about Max Webster not doing better down here!

10. I get them mixed up with the Tragically Hip.
For growing up just outside of Sumas, I sure don't recall my canadian rock music very well.

Say hi to Ernie Coomb for me.

15. Caught one of their shows in Brockville Ontario

It was outside and it was pouring rain they played their hearts out

I loved every minute.

Kind of ironic i've lived in Vancouver since 87 and the first time I see them is in Brockville of all places.
