Flash From the Past – The Magnets

Here is a promo shot from, well let’s see, when was this Dan? 1984 or 85 I think. Anyway, my old and dear friend, Dan Dubé and I started a duo using backing tracks and Dan on keys and myself on guitar. Both singing. Was a good duo and we managed to play quite a bit around the lower mainland of Vancouver and of course, on the island. Bit of a throwback …. Wednesday.

Demos we recorded that never made it to the album

Some of the demos we recorded in Vancouver ….. somewhere! Dan thinks “Waitin’ For The Message” and “Contact” were recorded one afternoon at the David Thompson Motor Inn, live off the stage. Dangerline might have been recorded in a cool little studio in Chilliwack BC. Tom Lang plays guitar with me on Message and Contact and Vern Wills played on Dangerline. As for the rest of them, some were recorded in John Webster’s basement, some live off stage. The memory cells aren’t helping me out here. And neither is my friend Dan, at least as far a memory goes. :-))
