Friday Night Music: Kevin Kane from the Grapes of Wrath

Filed under: General — Patterico @ 6:17 pm



Kevin Kane from the great Canadian band The Grapes of Wrath, performing an acoustic version of one of their classics: “All The Things I Wasn’t”:

These days, Kevin is touring with Bryan Potvin of The Northern Pikes, another long-time favorite. (The two bands have played several gigs together recently; I saw them play together in 2001, nearly fourteen years ago . . . as proved by this photo, which I first published in 2009 in this post.

Kevin tells me that he and Bryan Potvin are headed into the studio next month to record their first album together. I can’t wait to see what comes of it . . .

  1. Both of these bands should have been much bigger.

    Regardless, I’m glad that they’re still making music.

  3. happy:

    Yeah, and that was Canadian, too. And the Canadian dollar was almost worthless in 2001.

    Do you ever get that music snob feeling where you are actually glad that a band you really like doesn’t get really big, so that you have the satisfaction of feeling like you know something that few others do? I confess that I get that feeling every now and then.

  8. Would it kill you every once and a while to play a little Foghat?

  9. I really liked the Northern Pikes. On Canadian bands and having them stay small and undiscovered, I just saw the Tragically Hip at house of blues. In canada, they fill hockey arenas. It’s nice to have them more accessible.
