Who are these primordial pop-punks?
The Pointed Sticks really are a FUN band that have been clubbing around since 1979. By 2007 they were spotted venturing outta the cave for a comeback gig at Richards on Richards. Those stone wheels were rolling again and the Pointed Sticks were off to Japan with admirers and reissues intact. Oh yes, please pinch yourself, it was the real thing!
Alongside front-man Nick Jones, with Bill Napier-Hemy on guitars, Gord Nicholl on keyboards, Tony Bardach on bass and Ian Tiles on drums they held their farewell celebration November 3, 2012 at the Rickshaw Theatre, Vancouver.
The ever-astute, illustrator, Dan Harbord guides us through those westcoast caverns with a fiery torch held to the walls. Yes, that flame reveals a marvellous document of ‘rock art’ etched in history! Just waiting for intrepid enthusiasts to discover.
