Lead singer Mike Compeau did the best Gord imitations to date and with good reason, he was a neighboour who would often watch the band practise. He is now a golf pro in Ktown and is still friends with the band...me thinks. Tongue

I, too, saw Road Apples many times and also in their later incarnation Vagabond Groove - they were great musicians! I would close my eyes and dream I was at a Hip show. 17 beers always helps too. Cover bands are great when you don't get to see the real thing enough, especially when they're good.

I agree also... I've seen many of the COVERS.... and the Road Apples in their day was THE BEST HIP COVER BAND if there was one...

He had his vocals and act down to a tee.... not too mention the other musicians were decent also...

I've got the Vagabond Groove CD ... and "Hey Pearl" is a really good song. I only saw them as Road Apples once, in K-Town, at a packed AJ's ... and they were pretty damn good.

Ya I guess Artificial Hip is kinda lame. Keep in mind I was drunk, high and on the spot. I had just finished visiting my Grandma at the old folks home and artficial hips were abundant.

Maybe I should have went with "Hip Hip Hooray". :thumb:

Does anybody else not believe in Hippo's? I was reading the other day that their sweat is red and contains sunscreen and antibiotics. So there is this giant animal that hangs out in the bottom of ponds with its 2 giant teeth eating lilly pads and sweating red sunscreen. Yeah they're real. :roll:

I agree these guys are good. But I have to put my vote in for Practically HIP! Dean really has Gord down to a T.
I believe Mike owns the golf course out Bath way.
Road Apples have been known to still play AJ's here in KTOWN
