Apologue Podcast

Real Sickies are a band based out of Edmonton Alberta. The band honours the true sounds of The Ramones, Teenage Head and great bands of the mid to late 70's. Good time rock and roll! I met the band while they were on a tour west to Vancouver opening for Sub Humans. Great songs and a great band from a great city!

Welcome to Part 2. Three Chords... One Capo was released under Sweden's Bad Taste Records, Imperial records from Japan and Maple Music in Canada (a subsidiary of Universal Music). This was the first time we as musicians had to deal with the importance of releasing our first, real album and how to work with people who were professionals in their own right. We had yet begun to take ourselves seriously and that would happen on the next album.  We toured in Europe opening for bands like The Weakerthans, ten Foot Pole and Sum 41 to name a few. Playing in Europe is one of the most rewarding accomplishments as a little band from Canada. We enjoyed every minute of it. Well, we'll see when we go over the next album we put out.

Three chords... One Capo can be purchased on iTunes and streams on Spotify and Apple music

It was 15 years ago when my band Four Square started recording this album Three Chords... One capo in a rehearsal space in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. My studio was known for recording on location and getting pretty good results. This album was a scary project because it was what I thought to be the real deal. People we didn't know were investing money into this little band from Canada and things were moving so fast. It was my first time recording on a computer. My wife was expecting our first child at any moment during the recording process. Our studio space had to be moved to another location because our landlords were being evicted. There were countless interruptions from other bands making noise, too much beer being consumed and broken gear. But the album did come out in the fall of 2003 to some very positive reviews. It was our second full length release and our best work to date. So happy to get the core members Allan Shaw and Jason Lioumanis to sit down and talk about the process, the fun and tears putting this album together.

Paul Delong has been playing drums in bands for over 40 years and has played with some pretty amazing people and bands. Paul played drums on three Kim Mitchell Albums but also has played in many other disciplines like funk, jazz and blues. Not a lot of people can say they've played in bands to make a life and career from 40 years of playing. Paul is presently playing in Rik Emmetts band as well as teaching at Humber college amongst other endeavours. He's also written books on drumming. A great conversation with Canadian rock royalty!

Trunk has played a few reunion shows since their break up and Doug explains what the band and the day meant to him all these years later
