[XCisor]

man, didnt even realize these guys were from the peg, this is the only song i really know of thiers unless ive heard more and just havent put the band to the song. Support local artists, winnipeg has some of the best unknown talent

[scoochie2006]

The guys still go around and play the occasional show in Winnipeg. Put out a CD of their big hits a few (3-4?)years ago.

Yeah! This song has stuck with me for almost three decades now. Chris Burke-Gaffney ROCKED in The Pumps, Orphan, AND the Deadbeat Honeymooners!

[87FLST]

I figure only winnipeggers will recognize the 'golden boy' on the dome of the manitoba legislature building, right? I miss the old town and the best pub bands in the world

Lou Petrovich was awesome on guitar....Winnipeg produced some amazing talent in those days....

[xxparkerxbabyxx]

@Tombstone1959 Lou Petrovich is my uncle :)

[Tombstone1959]

@xxparkerxbabyxx

How is Lou doing these days. Back in the old days, lou was one of the BEST, and I went and watched them every chance I got. Their band always attracted the good looking ladies!

Thanks for the post, I really appreciate it.

[xxparkerxbabyxx]

I bought this album when it came out, and I appear to be the only American who has ever heard of these guys...I still love this...thanks for posting it and sharing!

[doug291961]

way way underated!!!

[jaworskij]

Remember this song on local campus radio in 2000. They always used to play it Saturday morning. There was no announcement of the title or artist though.

Nine years later I hear the song and the title on 92.9 KICK-FM.

Great melody, and LOCAL Winnipeg too.

[talulascake]

OMG... looooooved this song.... back in the old days in THunder Bay saw them many times at the Inntowner (was the Uptown back then)

[Tombstone1959]

A Thunder Bay boy....I spent my younger years there....So, they call the old Uptown the Inntowner now...lol... I see during my last visit that they tore down my old watering hole...The Crest on Red River Road...good times.

[rsensorat3]

Just a little sexsex?? Great post.

[kyuss4me]

This was/is a great song. It has to be 25 years since I heard it. Gotta love YouTube for shit like this. Thought of it and there it was. Thanks for uploading.

[FakeRea1]

Saw these guys open for Prism back in 1980 in Fredericton, NB. @ the Aiken Centre. Great band..and wish I had heard more from them.

[Newsvinesynth]

Must have been the same tour, I saw them open for them in S'toon. Excellent to find this on YouTube.
