Crawling In The Culvert Tour
These shots were taken in August 1990 during our epic journey across the bar and nightclub wastelands of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
J.P. getting a little rest
The most exhausting part of the tour was the long drives between venues so we napped whenever we could.
Paul looking for change in the glove box
Finances were always tight so we found ourselves looking for spare change quite often.
Todd and J.P. visiting a roadside attraction
One of the more glamourous stops on the tour.
Acoustic jam on Cannon Ball Island
Ray and Paul on acoustic guitars while J.P. tries out Todd's acoustic bass.
The `boys on Cannon Ball Island
A definite highlight of the tour.
Who needs sleep?
Jamming out to some rockin' tunes.

Back in his hometown, no less.
Ray at The Warehouse in Moncton
A different kind of performance.

Where the patrons walked on a thick carpet of discarded peanut shells.

The hair. The headband. Where's the tennis racket?
Sharing a microphone
Todd and Ray singing in unison.
Bashing on the drum kit
Believe it or not but that orange pillow in the bass drum originally came all the way from Germany.
J.P. performing at Call The Office in London, Ontario
Wearing a band T-shirt, no less!
Patrick and Todd confirming the set list
A lot of onstage conversations revolved around which song came next.

Sadly that storied venue has recently closed but this was a fun gig on the tour.
