		With twangy reverberations of their song introducing each show, and having worked with the Kids in a live capacity as the house band for theatre performances, the Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet would appear the obvious choice for the television soundtrack.
		The basis of the Shadowy Men's reputation is derived from their longstanding tradition of innovative theme shows.

	Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet
		Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet's infectious surf-inflected instrumental pop songs will be instantly recognizable to anyone who watched "The Kids in the Hall."

		The band formed in Toronto in 1984 and released their first seven-inch in 1985 ("Our Weapons Are Useless" b/w "Bennett Cerf" and "Having an Average Weekend").
		The members of Shadowy Men are still making music, albeit in slightly (OK, sometimes much) different genres.

	TrouserPress.com :: Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet
		Filed a couple of discs down from the Shadows and a little closer to the Residents than might be safe for small children, Toronto's Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet did the instrumental guitar combo thing in a somewhat different kitchen from Britain's four-decades-young Fender twangers.
		That zesty little mock-Western piece that runs under the show's credits is "Having an Average Weekend," a track from the Shadowy Men's first single, compiled along with the contents of four other self-released 7-inches on the chewy and delicious Savvy Show Stoppers.
		Unfailingly enjoyable, gummily consistent and as atmospheric as two weeks in a submarine, Shadowy Men are (were) truly the instrumental kings of the Great White North.

		On Pure Diamond Gold (the follow-up to their stellar debut, Precious Moments), the band lurches from Johnny Cash-inspired storytelling country ("It's Nothing to Me," "I Tried Not To") to Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet influenced-surf instrumentals ("Rat Creek," "Venison...
		Pure Diamond Gold consists of songs recorded on two separate occasions -- one a 24-track session with Steve Albini, the second an eight-track session (dubbed the "seven o'clock chicken" session) with Don Pyle (of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet) -- however, despite the differences, the songs hang together well as a whole.
		In addition to the slew of strong tracks already mentioned, the Sadies best moments here come in the form of the haunting "Eastwinds" (with vocals provided by Catherine Irwin of Freakwater), the surrealistic plane crash narrative of "With a Splash," and the slow-building instrumental "Cloud Rider" (complete with "howling" provided by the family dog).

		After Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet broke up, Brian Connelly worked as a hired hand for other artists, including Fred Schneider, but more notably as one of the few "boyfriends" to work on all three Neko Case albums.
		With Atomic 7 he finally swings back into action in the style that earned him attention in the first place—instrumental surf music that has both a good sense of humor and a lot of reverence for the tradition.
		Like Shadowy Men, Atomic 7 is also a three-piece combo, featuring Clinton Ryder on bass and Mike Andriosso on drums, and this trio works together every bit as well as Shadowy Men did—it's tight, versatile, and a lot of fun.
