Doug and the Slugs
Martha and the Muffins
Les Rita Mitsouko
Les Cowboys fringants
The Parachute Club
The Dukes of Stratosphear
The Tragically Hip

Doug and the Slugs were the first band I saw after moving to Canada, in the metropolis of Bridgenorth, Ontario. There were only six of us in attendance but they put on a fantastic evening of music. Sadly, the lead singer, Doug Bennett, died almost 20 years ago after someone poured salt on him. Doug and the Slugs are still going, though, but without anyone called Doug in the line-up.

The tragically hip are a great band. Australian I believe.

You would likely get lynched over here for saying such a thing (that they were Australian, not that they were a great band, because they were a great band until Gord Downie's untimely death from a brain tumour).

They were good lads and not a bad band

BoT

The Police
Crispy Ambulance
Tragic roundabout

That line up sounds a Cbeebies detective series.

High Flying Clive and his Hi Fi Five

Incidentally although I have always loved them, I have always thought that 'Killing Joke' is a shit name
Ditto 'Toad the wet sprockett' a decent American indy band who released 'Bread and Circuses' in 89
