Not a band I ever listened to, were/are they any good?
I played them a lot back in the day. The band I was in would cover several of their songs and I even knew a few of the leads.
Same here. We used to cover "Just Between You and Me". If you know the song, there was a lyric sung in French. During rehearsal we found it difficult to harmonize the part timing wise, as neither of us understood the language. For some silly reason in my mind, I decided that it didn't matter what we sung there as long as it sounded French. Thus, the line was sung in a lame French accent as "Flakey buttery croissant, mean that our love will always be". I clearly remember the first night we did the song, looking over at the lead guitarist who did the harmony part as we sung the line, and he was facing towards me with his eyes crossed almost completely behind the bridge of his nose, singing in a very exaggerated French accent. I lost it completely and spent the rest of the song just gasping out the words. No one in the crowd knew what the hell was going on, but we thought it was just hilarious.
I saw April Wine open for Journey on the Escape tour. They were a lot of fun and a real tight band.
