First gig |
The first gig was actually under the name of Agent Orange but they found out there was already a band with that name in California. So the first Agent Orange/Tainted Meat gig was at Shawn and April's wedding. | |

Some other gigs |
Opened for D.O.A. at the Chandelier Restaurant in Hull (the Young Lions and L'Etranger were also on the bill). Cafe Alternatif at Ottawa U., in Montreal, and then I guess... too many to list... |

Recordings |
"No One Came" on TV. A Roger's cable show hosted by Chopper McKinnon. It was a half-hour show and they performed 7 songs, with a break after the 4th song to accommodate an interview between Chopper & Vig.., Vig was in drag |

|
Claim to fame |
According to Dave Champion they had an amazing song called "U.S. Home Murders"
written by Danny Lussier and Vig (Greg Foisie)
A local station videotaped a full set of the band playing, produced by Chopper MacKinnon. |

Band high point |
That D.O.A. show |
|
|
Band low point |
Mike: the purge where Chris & Danny were replaced by M. Shannon and Stewart Charles Gunyon, and so Vig switched to a Hammond B-3 with a Leslie cabin | Danny: Chris Bandrowski and I weren't actually purged. We left Tainted Meat to pursue a new musical project called The Baad Boys.
Another low point was a performance we did at Montreal's Station 10 Club. I was hit in the head with a broken beer bottle while Mike Hillis decided to beat on me for missing a few chords. Of course this all took place on stage in the middle of our performance. Ahh...the good old days. ;-) |
|
Anything else? |
We were regulars at the Rotters Club on Bank Street. | |
