	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Rheostatics
		Originally they were known as Rheostatics And The Trans Canada Soul Patrol and carried a full horn compliment of horn players.
		Inspired by favourable reaction to the song, they embarked on their debut Canadian tour in the summer of 1987 and returned in the fall for the Fall release of the Tom Atom produced 'Greatest Hits' album.
		After the abrupt reality check of playing stadiums with The Tragically Hip to fans that could care less about Rheostatics, the band decided to move as far away as possible from their 'perceived' image of quirky jangly guitar suitors and release a children's album.

		Although they have had only one Top 40 hit ("Claire" in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada's most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 1990s, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on pop and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.
		That album proved to be the end of the Rheostatics' association with Sire, however, as the label found the band difficult to market.
		The Rheostatics thus returned to the studio, and released The Blue Hysteria in 1996.

		After the album's release, Dave Clark bowed out of the band to pursue his own interests, and the band was released from its contract with Sire.

	RLM: Rheostatics
		The Rheostatics are really talented, really nice, really funny, really seriously good music-makers who make amazing album after amazing album.
		Greatest Hits (1987) -- This first album barely points in the directions they would turn to in the future, but it is still a very original sound, especially for 1987.
		It's almost like they forget how to write normal rock songs by this point, and the fact that their next three albums are "special" albums may prove this.

		The Rheostatics were formed in 1980 in Etobicoke, Ontario, when the members of the band were still too young to drink in the clubs where they played.
		Though mostly instrumental, the soundtrack album spawned an actual hit single, "Claire." Between the time the band finished the tracks for the Whale Music movie and its eventual release, the band (now signed to Sire) took much of the instrumental material from the soundtrack, reworked it, and added lyrics.
		Long favorites of late-night radio in Canada, the Rheostatics were asked to contribute to the last program of CBC's long-running Nightlines.

		From their 1987 debut album entitled Greatest Hits, to their 1994 major label venture Introducing Happiness, through to their recent children’s album, The Story Of Harmelodia, the Rheostatics’ career traces an idiosyncratic journey.
		Indeed, the concert last Friday night showcased the Rheostatics’ wide array of talent as the crowd was seduced by rich tones and vibrant energy.
		Bidini’s atmospheric guitar gave way to the sneering, edgy pop of songs like "Shaved Head" and "Record Body Count." Between busting out the accordian or the double-fret guitar and having a couple of laughs on stage, the guys performed with an air of humility, but their tunes were articulated with verve.

		Rheostatics' two-and-a-half hour live shows are intense and powerful, managing to create an intimate setting even in the most unforgiving venues; sometimes doing acoustic numbers on the club floor among members of the audience.
		Having joined Sire/Warner records, Rheostatics toured Britain in 1994 support of that year's 'Introducing Happiness' CD, to be followed by back-to-back cross-Canada tours in 1995 (including the Another Roadside Attraction tour).
		Formed during the early eighties in their high school years in the Toronto suburb Etobicoke, the Rheostatics speak volumes to a generation who grew up with the collective Canadian suburban teenage-rock experience.

		With the success of "The Ballad of Wendel Clark Pts 1 and 2", the band released their first album in 1987 naturally called Greatest Hits.
		That brought us Introducing Happiness and the Juno-nominated, Genie-award winning single 'Claire', which makes a dual appearance on the Rheostatics' soundtrack to the celluloid version of Paul Quarrington's fine novel Whale Music (which is different from the album Whale Music, which musically has little in common with the novel).
		In 1995, the National Gallery of Canada commissioned Rheostatics to compose a composition commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Group of Seven.

		The Rheostatics: 'The Ballad of Wendell Clark Parts 1 & 2' - 1987 Without a doubt, The Rheostatics are the quintessential Canuck band.
		The Demics: 'New York City' - 1980 A one hit wonder in the early eighties, The Demics' tour de force found it's way on to influential alternate Toronto radio station CFNY and became a local anthem.
		Produced by Chris Spedding, it's a slow, meandering dirge, way out of place with the fast-paced pogoing going on all around, but captures the mood of the times, when music was fresh again, and everyone was dreaming of CBGB's and the Big Apple.

	Rheostatics at AllExperts
		The best-known of these early singles was "The Ballad of Wendel Clark, Parts 1 & 2", an ode to the Toronto Maple Leafs player Wendel Clark, which became the band's first hit on campus radio and CFNY.
		The centrepiece of the soundtrack was "Claire", a love song from the main character in the movie to a woman who'd moved into his house, which became Rheostatics' first Top 40 hit.
		It was also Clark's last album with the band, as he left to concentrate on his own band, the dinner is ruined.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Kiddie connection for Rheostatics
		The Toronto-based Rheostatics -- who play the University Theatre on Friday -- have always been a little left of centre when it comes to music.
		Whether it be the sardonic, edgy pop of their 1987 debut, Greatest Hits, or the epic, orchestral meanderings of Whale Music and Music Inspired by the Group of Seven, the Rheostatics are constantly evolving.
		Though the CD comes complete with an illustrated (by Rheostatic Martin Tielli) children's story, which the music and lyrics are based on, Bidini considers Harmelodia more of a concept record than a children's recording.

		Greatest Hits was intended to be an inexperienced band's studio exercise, but when a muse mentioned "Hey!...
		The initial run of 1,000 sold-out over the course of a year, but thanks to thousands of inquiries from Green Sprouts across the country, it was decided that Greatest Hits would be relaunched.
		A remastered version of each track with the original artwork and liner notes intact, Greatest Hits is a glimpse into the early RheoCavern; a backwards kaleidoscope reflecting the burgeoning days of Canadian Shield Rock.

	Rheostatics : Greatest Hits - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Although the title of their first album was perhaps just a bit too clever, Greatest Hits nonetheless contains at least one song bound to be near the top of any Rheos fan's list.
		While most of the rest of the songs were jangly pop that showed a band with decent lyrics and a lot of unrealized musical potential, "The Ballad of Wendel Clark" was a bullseye.
		The rest of the album features many good moments, but the Rheostatics wouldn't actually hit their stride until the second long-player, Melville.

		They are a band that has been around since the early '80s with their first album being released in 1987, the cornily titled Greatest Hits.
		Although it is a children's album, it is a masterwork of audio story-telling which creates hypnotic soundscapes and may best be appreciated after a couple of puffs on the end of a big ol' doobarue.
		The music of the Rheostatics takes a couple of listens to warm-up to and they have a tendency to concentrate on new material at live shows while disregarding many crowd-pleasing, older tunes.

	LIVE: Rheostatics
		For Rheostatics fans, the planned departure of Don Kerr came as a wee bit of a shock, and judging by the his performance at the "Farewell To Don" show at Ted's Wrecking Yard, the Rheos are gonna have some mighty big shoes to fill come next tour.
		The band collectively peeled off a virtual greatest hits show that had the audience following their every move and awaiting every hoarse squeal from Tielli's mountain of guitar effects.
		As with most Rheostatics shows, the band stretched things out on more than one tune and although they wank at times, they always seem to come out on top.

	Eye Weekly - On Disc - 12.21.00
		Unreleased songs (Andrew Whiteman's "City of the Prince"), radio performances, live tracks that better the studio renditions and their should-be-legendary full-band collaboration with the Rheostatics (a cover of Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere") are finally captured on disc.
		However, the album is torn between being a greatest non-hits package and a rarities collection.
		Read "essentials" like you would "Shaq's Greatest Hits," though this is still a solid collection of local hip-hop.

	FFWD Weekly - October 21, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Quintessentially Canadian, startlingly original and fiercely independent, the Rheostatics’ music was always challenging, melodic and eclectic – occasionally indulgent, but never predictable or ordinary.
		Although many would consider the Rheostatics well outside the musical mainstream, it becomes apparent, talking to Wojewoda, that they are about as close to conventional pop music as he ever gets.
		Wojewoda is happily perched on his drum stool, eagerly looking forward to touring, playing and seeing the fans’ reaction to the band’s new album – one he is, understandably, very proud of.

		Every Rheostatics album has a few songs like this; bits where the band just cuts loose, has some fun, tries out a few tricks and tells a few jokes.
		But most Rheostatics albums are 18-20 songs long, so there is plenty of room to stretch out on stuff like this.

	zunior.com :: the little label
		Greatest Hits is the first album released from the Rheostatics.
		For more than two decades, the Rheostatics have mapped new frontiers across Canada, embracing the nation that bore them and reinterpreting its sea-to-shining-sea grandeur in music of startling variety and indisputable beauty.
		The band has remained fiercely loyal to a unique vision that is entirely dependent upon the alchemical interaction of its members, the catalyzing friction that renders gold from lesser metals - and that distinguishes the Rheostatics from bands of lesser mettle.

		They're funny too; the very first album the Rheostatics released was called 'Greatest Hits'.

		A musical fanatic and player himself with his band the Dissemblers, Teichroeb was turned on by the new spirit of artistic community that was developing not only between local musicians, but with a growing number of Toronto types who were spending as much time at the Albion Hotel as they were at the Bev.
		Just wanting to get involved, Teichroeb started producing and selling merch for the Rheostatics, who were often in Guelph playing and recording with local musical guru Lewis Melville.
		While music with any sort of country stride, swinging beat and rock 'n' roll attitude seems to get lost in the mainstream shuffle, the fact that the Horseshoe was stuffed to the brim for last week's Wilco show confirms there's a huge fan base out there.
