Bush (Canadian) - Backstage Girl (1970)

@russthelegend 57 - you'll find them both on the sampler "Handle with care" Probe 1970

[russthelegend57]

@philwear Thanks Phil - that's where I first heard them. Is that album still available? On CD even?

[russthelegend57]

Fantastic! More please! Have been searching high and low for two songs in particular - Got To Leave The City and Drink Your Wine. Wish I could find 'em!

Great song. Just think of the incredible talent in that band. Roy's a great singer, Dom was amazing, could play in any style. I miss him a lot. Prakash and Whitey were a great rhythm section, check out the work they have done since. A great Canadian band. Thanks for the post.

TO funk meets Detroit soul lost on the ears of the general public but revered? or feared by their peers ,so ahead of their time.

Saw BUSH at the University of Manitoba. They brought the roof down. The audience went nuts. I had never seen anything so exciting, until the Police years later. What could have been for this band. What a shame.

All of these guys should be in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. What the heck is going on that they aren't? Big old goofy world

These guys played at my High School, along with Crowbar, Steel River, and Mother Tuckers Yellow Duck...

I still own a nice mint vinyl copy of this LP...great stuff!

[IRONMANWFM]

Yes , The Band that opened for Bush I can attest that Bush was AWesome !!!!! Domenic played through a whirling leslie speaker! Prakash the bass player went on to play with Alice Cooper (as did the drummer, Whitey ) ... Welcome to my nightmare stuff. Domenic is now in the Canadian music hall of fame !!!! Brian Martinez of ETC...

Incredible band! Saw them at Taft High School back in the 70's and they blew the place a part. RIP Domenic. Whitey Glan is one of greatest unheard drummers!

Great band that was a little ahead of their time and unfortunately never got the attention (except from other musicians) they deserved. Arthur Thomas

A YT friend just jogged my memory, and had to have a listen to this excellent Canadian Band. Thank you for posting this classic.
