bishopshodan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) I once played on the same ball hockey team as the Hanson Bros. Even got a T-shirt.We called the game the Chiclet Scramble. We toured opening for No Means No on the West Coast. We hung with them and SNFU quite a bit. Thanks for the walk down memory lane lads.

Aww man I am so envious of you. I would love to have been able to meet Chi Pig. Dead at my age. When I heard that last year I was gutted. His band's name says it all to me.

Such a scene. What do they say?... you don't know what you've got till it's gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they say?... you don't know what you've got till it's gone. You're so right. I'm in Langley but me and my friends were always trekking into DT for some show or other. 54-40, Kim Mitchell, Alhana Miles, Moist, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Boot Sauce, The Headstones (my fave after the Hip, they played China Beach in Langley once!), The Odds (saw them as Dawn Patrol at the dance for life), Lee Aaron, The Pursuit of Happiness. So many great Canadian bands playing at the huge diversity of clubs. And back then most concerts still made a stop in Vancouver. I don't know if it was internet porn or people staying home to watch concert videos on youtube that killed the No Fun city club vibe but it's sucked for decades now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of mine: Headstones, Moist (David Usher), Holly McNarland, Matt Good, OLP, 54-40, Age of Electric, Barstool Prophets, Rymes with Orange, Metric, The Watchmen, The Pursuit of Happiness, etc. Picture of Health is still playing at my place on a regular basis. That album is seriously good. ^ Edit: Just saw BH's post above mine. Yep. Me too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
