Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet
.
toronto-based rock trio (1984-91) credited with fusing the punk style (dead kennedys e.g.) with surf (the ventures) into a distinctive but soon-imitated sound (sometimes called third-gen surf).
the band usually recorded without vocals and has a number of ep’s and cd’s to its credit. its last cd was released in 1995 but the band had effectively come to an end with the death of b-ssist reid diamond to cancer in 1991.
televiewers may know shadowy men best from one particular song: “having an average weekend,” which was adopted by the canadian satirical troupe kids in the hall as intro/outro music to the half-hour show of the same name.

“what was that band on the radio that played those interesting chords?”
“dude, you’ve never heard of shadowy men on a shadowy planet? they were huge in the eighties and early nineties. even did the theme music for ‘kids in the hall’ on tv.”
