May The band, 3/5ths of which consisted of a sister and her two brothers, became an overnight sensation as a result of this, taken from their album The Trinity Sessions, recorded, basically, live in a Toronto church, using a single microphone in the centre of the room. At this time, the band was being encouraged to record songs from outside the band, and, of course, the Brits were also the source of another of their hits around this time, Bad Side of the Moon, written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The Canadian was signed as a staff writer to Motown's publishing arm, but recorded for their rock subsidiary Rare Earth, which was also the home of the band that had the same name. bodzie.freeservers.com /history/may.html

January This band's place in Canadian rock history is unique in that, at the time, what they sang about didn't usually make it on to the airwaves, and, likely, would not have were it not for the fact that they were Canadian, and the records were good. In each band, the lineup on the original releases was replaced, one by one, as the leader determined a need to move in a different direction or as the musicians tired of working with them. He formed the Dominic Troiano Band in Toronto in 1976, and his blues-based guitar work was featured on several albums. bodzie.freeservers.com /history/jan.html

Crowbar Interview However, Hawkins was unpredictable, and in 1970 while at the Grange Tavern in Hamilton, Hawkins came into the bar and fired the whole band exclaiming: "You guys are so crazy you could fuck up a crowbar in three seconds!" And thus a band, and a band name, was born. Crowbar was the first act to launch a record in the legislation era (a law designating the implementation of 30% mandatory Canadian content by all radio stations) with the single Oh, What A Feeling. And so we saw Trudeau after and we gave him and Margaret one of our Crowbar necklaces and Roly got it stuck over his head, actually his hair was so long on the back of his head that he got it stuck over his nose. www.rickmcgrath.com /crowbar.html

The Ultimate Crowbar - American History Information Guide and Reference Crowbar circuits are frequently implemented using an SCR (or thyratron) as the shorting device. A crowbar is a tool consisting of a metal bar with a curved side and flattened extremities, often with a small fissure on one point. An electrical crowbar operates by throwing a short circuit across the voltage source, much as if one dropped its mechanical namesake across the output terminals of the power supply. www.historymania.com /american_history/Crowbar

The soldiers motioned to us intimating that we had better pull off our hats in honor of that cunning priest, who was thus showing publicly that the military power could at any time be brought out to sustain their interests. Perhaps he thought some of us could not bear the cabin expenses--if so, he is excusable; but if any other motive impelled his movements, he is willing to have a burden on his heart which we would not have on ours for a considerable sum. www.webroots.org /library/usatrav/mtgfca00.html   (16856 words)

Crowbar (U.S. band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Crowbar is an American doom/ sludge metal band from Louisiana, characterized by their extremely slow, low-keyed, heavy and brooding songs. I wisely recruited Rex Brown(Pantera, Down), Craig Nunenmacher (BLS, Crowbar) and Warren Riker(Down II) for the recording and producing of this monster, and I'm happy to say I'm very pleased with the outcome. The band's sound was labeled Doom-Core by the European press shortly after the 1992 debut release "Obedience Thru Suffering."

++ Welcome to Stony Plain Records ++ In the years since his relationship with the Canadian label has been astonishingly fruitful.  As a solo artist, he has released five records with the label — including his latest "all-blues" outing Living With the Blues to be released in early 2002. None of that goes to Robillard’s head.  He’s still on the road, still playing as many as 250 dates a year.  And still proving, night after night, that his true talent is bringing people out to hear the music, appreciate the show, and dance to the blues. And a one-man cheering section for the blues, in all its forms and permutations.  And every one of those names has shared recording studio space or stage time with a man who is a legend in the blues community. www.stonyplainrecords.com /Web/artist.asp?id=418   (4160 words)

April.html Katatonia is still a Heavy Metal band, but they have the gift to pick out the best moments from their past and form a new masterpiece. The band tries to hide there names by not even mentioning them in the booklet (by the way a very well made one), but I know who you are(don't worry I won't tell). The band plays tight and the song-structures are good, but I think the vocals from Chris are not perfect. www.daredevilrecords.de /reviews/2003/April.html   (4160 words)
