Astute readers will have noted that yesterday's post partly gave away today's with the cover art. Yes, this Arktik Power tape has a different show on each side. And this is the other show. BUT did you expect that it would be a markedly different BAND!?!?
Something shifted between April and August 1989, with Bill E. Stew bowing out, and - of all people - Kamil Krulis taking over lead vocal duties. And a different drummer, but that's not nearly the difference Kamil makes. Yep, way more front than we can handle. Gone are Bill's semi-coherent ramblings, replaced by Kamil's Mark E. Smith-insprired antagonism. A very different feel to the songs thanks to the difference in vocal stylings, but it still works.
In its own way, that is.

I lived in calgary in 1996 and seen a punk band at a bar down on a street maybe called 17th Ave. S.W.,about a 20 or 30 minute walk from downtown,and the C-train, or C-rail ? forgot what it was called, it was like a streetcar .
Anyway,
it was a cool bar for alt and punk bands.
I thought the band was a local band, forgot the name, but keep thinking the were called The Evaporatorsd, or The Inhalers, and had a really good song called "Royce Gracie"..any idea if you know who I am thinking of? and if they had any recordings? Especially that song?
Cheers,
your link is here by the way
