Brains mother Toni Medway, made all of the costumes for the band and cooked up dinner after almost every gig sometimes at 3 am. The band also lived and rehearsed in the Medway family home in New Westminster for those 3 years.

In 1973 Pegasus opened for Rory Gallagher at the Kinsmen Fieldhouse in Edmonton, the Corral in Calgary as well as a venue in Lethbridge.  They completed their Western tour by opening at the Gardens in Vancouver.  That same year they also opened for Kraftwerk in the Gardens in Vancouver.

Pegasus was a three man band that relied heavily on it's blues/rock roots. They carved a legacy with their dynamic vocals, incredibly tight bass and percussion and searing guitar.  All songs played by Pegasus were written by Brian Medway.
