Anybody here familiar with the Howard Johnson fronted band named Dawn After Dark? I would expect Stacey, Ian, Blittz, and a few of you others to be familar with them. All I have of theirs is the 12" for "Maximum Overdrive". I could swear they had another 12" or went the way of many other bands of the time and planned a "Live" album for a first release. Anybody know for sure? Anybody ever see them live?
Sorry Carl, not heard of them.
I remember the name but am unfamiliar with their stuff.
Damn-nabit!!!
I never heard much of their stuff, but an old mate of mine (the guy who managed my first band, in fact) used to roadie for them.

WOW!!! I'm amazed, all of the usual folk I would be expecting chiming in here having seen this band or at the very least having heard them, are coming up empty here! How on earth was I able to get ahold of the 12" single, and not everything else, and you lot have never even heard them! Crazy. I need to find my old distributor and kick some ass.
Carl been chatting to a mate of mine and he seems to think they released 2 more 12" - the groove and crystal high. don't know how reliable his info is but thought i'd let ya know
You rule Ian!!! So I am not crazy about there possibly being more! Somebody get Blittz in here and then get me Ray Zell on the friggin' phone!
lmao. Don't know how reliable the info is though. Knowing stu it should be pretty good. Can't remember what day of the week it is but has a great memory for his music.
Here is the one Dawn After Dark 12" I have called the Crystal High/See-Rap E.P. (released: 1988 Chapter 22 Records - 12CHAP26)
Side A:
Crystal High
Ghetto Gods & Go Go Gurus
Side AA:
See-Rap (The Dawn Chorus)
To Kill A Friendship

Tell Stu it looks like some of his memory IS still good! Nice one Stu, it appears Skid can back him up!
Skid, how is that one?

<font size="4" face="Arial">To be honest I don't care for the guys voice, so I wasn't that impressed. Crystal High is a pretty cool tune but See-Rap is a horrible attempt at rap-rock. The other two songs are so-so.Quote:

Turkey Bacon???
Granville? Never heard of it. Might need to try and find some...good you say???
Ya' they produce some fine beer. It's local micro brewery, but I know they export to Japan and such. They made this awesome 10 yr anniversary brew that was a Cream Lager. Best beer they ever made. Then they stopped the production because it was only a limited run. Couple other good ones if you seem em' around are:

http://www.sleeman.com/splash.html - From Toronto
I stick with Lagers these days. Ale seems to run havoc on my system.
You've never heard of Turkey Bacon?....it's good and barely any fat.
I've heard of turkey bacon, and may have had it. Just kind of took me by surprise. I'll keep an eye out for those beers. Pale Ales, while I love them, make me stinky for the following day! LOL!!!
Ale=Painting the bowl.....Ayyyyeeee!
<font size="4" face="Arial">Well, either you are a hobbyist Pot smoker as my buddies were (they used to get high and paint their bongs), or you are going for the uber-gross statements! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]Quote:
