Toronto has the legendary Max Brand. A cross between Buddy Holly and Erkel,
he's nearly a Rain Man savante with his undisputed knowledge of early
rock-a-billy and rock and roll. He fancies himself a singer and dancer.
Watch this clip and notice his agility....he regularly performs a version of
The Byrds' "Mr. Spaceman" as "Mr. Splitsman". He shows up at open mike
showcases at Toronto clubs 7 nights a week. Probably the hardest working
entertainer in Toronto....and he does it all for free.
Bullseye nearly signed him as a curiosity until the band he was fronting
booted him out and refused to allow us to release the 6 songs we have in the
can (they were more akin to Social Distortion/Bad Brains....something Max
was not particularly adept at pulling off which why he was booted).
