oh Canada Pt. 3 of 7. Asexuals, Doughboys, Rusty Connection

  The Asexuals started out as a punk band from Montreal in 1983.  After founding member John Kastner left in 1987 they took on a more melodic tone as evidenced in their single 'Walt's Wish released in the early nineties. 

   Kastner departed over disagreement on the musical direction of the band and went on to form the Doughboys.  In 1993 they released the single 'Shine' that in the year 2000 was voted the 26th greatest Canadian single of all-time.

  Original guitarist for the Doughboys, Scott McCulloch went on to form Rusty.  Their 1995 album Fluke produced two songs Wake Me and California that received moderate exposure on CIMX 89x. Here is a third song from that disc 'Groovy Dead' a song about nothing more than trying to get some sleep.
