Bio:
Formed 1983, as the Living End. First gig as The Dundrells was February 1984. Started with a surf, 60's pop sound but gradually got more into 60's punk and garage. At the end got a little more funky. Played everywhere in Toronto, but the Cabana Room at the Spadina Hotel was home base. Opened several times for The Chesterfield Kings, Fleshtones, Etc. Often gigged with The Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Best year was probably 1986 when we opened for The Replacements at the Concert Hall. One appearance on Toronto Rocks on CityTV in 1988 just before we stopped playing. Our last show was June 11, 1988 at the Rivoli.
Released an 11 song cassette tape, two 7" singles, and featured on at least three compilations. Lots of recordings, studio and live, unreleased. No videos.
