	Also, check out Shadowy Men From a Shadowy Planet, the
late-eighties/early-nineties vintage Toronto instrumental trio whose
best-known song, "Having An Average Weekend", ended up being the theme song
to the old comedy series *The Kids In the Hall*. They were prone to get
riled up if they were described as a surf band (the title of one number on
their third album, *Sport Fishin'*, made that point most emphatically), and
it's true that their sound was a little beefier than what you'd expect from
Dick Dale or the Ventures -- but, hey, put one of their albums on at your
party and see if anyone is still willing to pick that nit. Fun band.

band not yet mentioned by Jamie Vernon on Audities ;-) )
