We were definitely "theatre of the absurd" in the early days...we wore some
silly outfits and pulled more than our share of stunts. In the long run though we were a ground breaking rhythmic unit, using the
combination we did...George playing hammond organ with one hand and melotron with the other--I
seriously doubt anyone else in canada got around to that.

Eventually our mad leanings were somewhat curtailed by our immense poverty and since the
music was so danceable we ended up being popular with that crowd, especially in college and university
areas...The University of Guelph was a big hotspot for us.

From the 1970's to the mid 1980's the band was busy, but just this side of mainstream
status, filling bars and dance floors from coast to coast. Perhaps remembered more
for their outrageous publicity stunts, they developed a fiercely loyal following based on countless sweaty
nights of intense original country tinged blues and boogie, reggae or rock, or whatever that sound was.

Dormouse (aka Cris Cuddy) had previously been with a late sixties folk outfit, The Rejects, who also put out an ultra-rare privately-pressed album. He is supported by a range of backing musicians on this horrendously rare privately-pressed album, which was housed in a beautiful silk-screen sleeve. Now available on CD!jeremydormouse.com |
