I played Bass and was in a band in 1978-1979 named 'Active Dog' from Vancouver BC.  We had a couple of tracks out on the 'Vancouver Complication' album and a  7" vinyl single: 'Rat Race' ..B/W ..'Good Filthy Fun'

we played the early punk new wave clubs around the area until the Pointed Sticks recruited/stole our keyboard ( Gord ) and drummer ( Robert ), so we broke up in 1979 and members went on to form other groups.  Buck started The Modernettes'.  Bill started 'Los Popularos'.  Ross and Terry started 'Antheads'
