about

In November 1984, Paul Bellini rented a beatbox and started jamming in the basement with guitarist Rob Rowatt, bass player Gord Disley, and fellow York University alumni Scott Thompson. Their early recording sessions produced dozens of experimental songs with challenging lyrics. Two years later, The Kids In The Hall's Bruce McCulloch asked the band to open for him at storied Toronto club the Rivoli, where The Kids In The Hall performed regularly.

Utilizing Brian Hiltz's existing band I Want, they performed a memorable set and several months later decided to record a 7-song cassette entitled For People Only. The sessions occurred just five days before Thompson moved to New York City to begin writing the first season of The Kids In The Hall. Unfortunately, the band was too lazy to officially release the cassette.

Now, nearly 35 years later, three tracks from For People Only are being made available for the first time via Captured Tracks.

"Tactile", the band's signature tune, is an ode to the sense of touch and a reminder that human contact is still our greatest pleasure.

"Gonna Be A Man" is a love/hate song to masculinity.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
