Sanford and Son Christmas

Every year about this time

he celebrates it with a rhyme

The spirit of giving (and those who sold the stuff to give)

Relive the Christmas sale pitches (and the great art that went into it) of yesteryear over at Plan 59

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
