I was
the
bass player from 1981 to 1987. It was quite exiting times playing
50 - 90 nights a year. Most memorable was opening for Doug
& the Slugs. We played lots of nights at the Commodore
Ballroom, many weekends at the Reef in
Point
Roberts, weddings, sports dances, and most all of the high schools in
town
& then some. We looked pretty cool in our Miami vice
suits!
These guys are my brothers!

Wallstreet at the
Commodore
Ballroom - 1986
I know Rob Lehane
and
Danny Olsen played together in another band
I was in
several
basement bands that never make it out of the basement... and we played
lots of basements!
The interesting
additions
for wallstreet will be the past histories of guys like Frank Bond and
especially
Peter Clarke. He was a top session bassist and vocalist in
Vancouver
and was also a member of a band called Straight Lines. They
released
2 albums in the early 80s and had a top 10 hit with "Letting go" that
still
gets airplay on local stations.
I know Tom
Hamel
was in a Beatles tribute band called "The Spoilers" (actually, so was I
for about 2 months).
Right now Rob
Lehane
is in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is playing full time and was
actually
up here recording last month.
