My pal Tony’s bandmate…
out of the blue (1980)
Best Vancouver band ever?
Awesome! That’s my good pal Tony Bardach on bass (and almost getting knocked over by fighting punks)… can’t get over how young he looks! The Pointed Sticks are, of course, still together and opened for DEVO earlier this week (my buddy Chi from SNFU was like a pig in shit to have his backstage pass).
If you want to see Tony in an entirely different thing, check him out with his Zappa-fied “greasy doo wop” band Slowpoke & The Smoke, playing at A Dental Lab during Face Fest this Saturday the 24th.

Awww, how cute. My friends The Pointed Sticks are still around, and actually are opening for DEVO tonight (32 years after their first time opening for them).
