just finished On a Cold Road, and knew almost nothing of the Rheostatics. I've enjoyed Bidini on radio and in the Post, but the book has opened the music to me--which is quite an odd process, when you think about it.

I grew up in Windsor and agree with you on the Rheos and the too much Ladies. We grew up on the soul music coming out of Detroit and that was one of the reasons my parents moved to Windsor as they were Northern Soul buffs in the UK. You can go into the shittiest pub in Windsor to this day and still find the Four Tops or Al Green on the juke box. That is lasting stuff. The Rheos are small market stuff that have a strong following.

Martin was the reluctant front mand but he was brilliant in the role

@acerb45666555 This song is my favourite too.I`ve been a fan for years but sadly I don`t think I will eve see them play live as I dont think they tour Germany at all.

I have never been to Canada but our CD was produced by Lewis Melville who the Rheostatics named an album after and, he introduced me to the Rheos and thank God he did! Thank for the upload excellent stuff

His voice kind of reminds me of some earlier Bowie.



This is THE song that made me a Rheo-fanatic. Being from Detroit, the only "alternative" station was from Canada, and there's a percentage of Canadian music they were required to play, so I heard all about The Hip, Crash Test Dummies, and too many Naked Ladies. Rheostatics stood out from the get-go, and I can always find amazing discoveries in their music.
I always will.

Classic tune. The Rheostatics are one of the most underrated Canadian bands.
