| The Hit: | Rock N Roll Cliches |
(This is a gag entry)
South-western Ontario heavy-rock group of the early 90's. Had one radio hit Rock and Roll Cliches during the summer of 1994. Also had a brief moment in the media spotlight that same summer after releasing a punk version of then Ontario premier Bob Rae's ditty We're In The Same Boat Now.
Where are they now?
They broke up shortly thereafter. Bassist Pete Dekoker is still a fixture of the London, Ontario glam/punk scene, co-founding the Iggy Pop cover-band turned original power punk Osterberg as well as returning to the fold for a reunited 63 Monroe.
Mark Anderson also continues to dabble in the local music scene, flogging his 70's influenced musical stylings wherever they will be tolerated.
Drummer Dan Miles became a power-broker in provincial politics, acting as campaign manager for the likes of Jim Flaherty, executive assistant to John Baird and working on the Ernie Eves re-election campaign.
Mark Jeftovic became an internet entrepreneur, co-founding easyDNS.com, serving on the Board of Directors to the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) and as a side project started a "whatever happened to" trivia website. He also still dabbles in music, as the co-founder of the Toronto-based Parkdale Hookers
Update November 2006: Drummer Dan Miles now Communications Director for federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty.
