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).
