The album that followed ("Nuthouse") was less AOR synth-pap and more
rock-minded (think Bon Jovi with Richie Sambora leading the band)...and
they're final release, "Get Off", actually had some Adult Contemporary and
FUNK leanings!! Their inability to find a sound that was truly theirs pretty
much killed them.

Wow....you're digging out some pretty obscure references there!
Tim and I hung out together in LA back in November. He runs a recording
studio there -- he's a transplanted Calgarian who moved to warmer climes
about 12 years ago [plays hockey against Keifer Sutherland on a regular
basis apparently!]. We've been discussing re-issuing his four solo albums
(some of it has already been released in Japan and Germany but not
domestically in North America) including his mucho AOR band from the early
'80s called FOOTLOOSE. Tim's currently handling former teen sensation
Tiffany. We were briefly entertaining re-releasing her 2000 pop record
"Colour Of Silence" again as it's a phenomenal Avril/Alanis styled angst
ridden coming-of-age album that Eureka/Modern Records dropped the ball
on...but Tiff's decided to follow Kylie Minogue down the dance diva path and
we wouldn't be able to cross promote it effectively
As for TEAZE, EMI-Canada/Aquarius has re-issued all their stuff on disc if
you can find them. Try http://www.newworldcds.com
