The Sugar Stems feature Drew of the LegHounds/Jetty Boys fame, Betsy and Stephanie of the Flips and JonE from bands such as the Catholic Boys, Teenage Rejects, Tuff Bananas etc. Check out more about them at their Myspace page.

Sort of a last minute show announcement here but it'll be a good one. Many thanks to Johnny and Suzie of the Roche Bar for always providing a place where band's doing their own music can play in this otherwise podunk town called Port Huron.

Keep the Bells Ringing

Since we've been heavy on the long time ago, sometimes forgotten and maybe never known bands and their Christmas songs...Here's another. A few years ago it was thought they'd be the next big thing.



Where are they now?

Power Pop Santa

The Pointed Sticks were formed in 1978 by vocalist Nick Jones, guitarist Bill Napier-Hemy, bassist Tony Bardach and drummer Ian Tiles; keyboard player Gord Nicholl joined later. After releasing several singles and undergoing a number of personnel changes, the band released their debut album, Perfect Youth, in 1980. They disbanded the following year.

The band reformed after a hiatus of twenty-five years to play shows in Japan. They recently played a sold out performance in their hometown of Vancouver, B.C. More shows and recording are planned.


This year they released a Christmas song
