Came across an old Thunder Bay Compilation CD of various artists from 1994 entitled Hot Smoke & Sassafras that featured a bunch of local acts on it. Acts that were plying there trade in the local bars at the time.
Except for….
Me and Tbone were at a local show at the time and one of the fella’s that put this comp together was selling it. So to support local acts we each bought a copy as we were both intrigued by the name of the one-act that was calling themselves Dr Zuess’s Green Eggs & Ham Experience. Never heard of this act….before or after for that matter!
The Liner Notes credited them as….
Dr Zuess- Lead Screamer.
Cat In The Hat-Backing Screamer/Producer
Ed Jr- Guitar
BassGOD-Bass and Drum Machine Programming!
The first video posted is PISS-MOAN-WHINE while the second tune is S.O.B… Piss Moan Whine is a 45 second rant while S.O.B is a 4 minute rant!
Check em out for a laugh….What a bunch of Goof’s! Actually some one posted the whole compilation on Youtube…
Thunder Bay Rawk Circa 94!
Hahaha.
Cool local comp. I saw “Drum Machine Programming” and had a really bad feeling.
I got through 10 seconds of each song, so at least I tried.
That comp needed Current River to make it wayyy better. Obviously everyone in town was jealous of you guys so they left you off.

I listened to that comp on Youtube.
A ton of really cool tunes. I love finding out about little known Canadian bands and then trying to find out about band members.
I will look for this one.

Not to mention backing screamer – when just 1 screamer is insufficient & screaming harmonies are required!

True but this local comp was put together by a fella named Eric (can’t recall his last name) but he stated a label here in Tbay “Meathead Records” If you search on Youtube one of his punk bands from here was called “Headcramp”..they were funny as shit..lyrical especially…

A weird rime for music.
I seem to remember a tailing off trend of Brit pop too. Garage rock, alt rock and alternative. Also music seemed to be quieter and mellow. Unplugged was still a thing.
Then Nickelcrap (and their clones) and Nu Metal hit. UGGGGHHH
