Slik Toxik

Oh man, I need to track down some classic Glam. Do you remember Canadian rockers Slik Toxik?

I was clicking around YouTube last night and found some gems. The band was signed to Capitol Records and was fairly popular in Canada. I don't think they made much of a splash here in the United States, but I will blame that on timing. Slik Toxik was a Glam band stuck amid 90s grunge artists. They didn't get a fair shot at fame, which is sad.

Guitarists Kevin Gale and Rob Bruce teamed up with vocalist Nicholas Walsh to form the band. Also featured on the debut recording are bassist Patric Howarth and drummer Neal Busby. I don't know much about any of these men except all of them went on to other musical projects, none of which were commercially successful.

Here's the video for "Helluvatime" on the album Doin' The Nasty.

Now here's the video for "White Lies/Black Truth" also from Doin' The Nasty.

I need to track down Doin' The Nasty. First I'm off to eBay...then a used record shop. I will succeed in my quest!

After I have album in hand, I might go further. What if I put this band back together? My goodness, we could have a Glam reunion. This, I must seriously ponder...

I have both Doin' The Nasty (1992) and Irrelevant (1994) but I haven't been able to track down a copy of Smooth And Deadly (1991).

You can usually find Doin' The Nasty on Ebay for $5 - $10.

Now I have to go pull this out and refresh the memory!
