What album is this on? I feel it necessary to hear everything these guys have done.

@SamDiMartino This was not released on one of their studio albums, rather, found on various compilations. If you visit - Shadowy dot Brainiac dot Com - can find a list of all of their works. Enjoy! :)

I'm not sure how many times I saw them in Saskatoon in the late '80s and early '90s, but they never played behind a scrim. At one show Brian, the guitarist, actually had to pitch some drunk offstage midsong with one hand while he held on to his Gretsch with the other. It might have been at the same show that some other idiot tried to dance on one of the tables only to narrowly avoid landing on his head when it fell over, sending booze and ice all over the floor.

@inversion66 Those are great stories! I never had the pleasure of seeing them perform live, nor have I ever visited the Prairies.
