- Is this the same Chalk Circle from Toronto that's lead by Chris Tate?
- I was under the impression that they disbanded after the failure of
- their label, Duke Street Records (Jane Siberry is their banner act).
- I used to see them live at free shows at Toronto's Harbourfront (on
- the edge of Lake Ontario), and they were opening for Rush during one
- leg of a Canadian tour.
-
- Quite unlike Rush, though. (-; This Chalk Circle had a debut
- mini-album titled "The Great Lake" with a U2-ish sounding hit single
- called "April Fools". A follow-up EP fleshed out the debut's CD
- version to full album length (with a cover of T. Rex's "20th Century
- Boy"). Their second effort was a full album called "The Mending
- Wall"; the Rush opener came around the time of their third album in
- the late 80's but I was down here for grad school and lost touch. If
- this is the same Chalk Circle trio, I'll vouch that they are great
- live. While they're not at all like U2 or Rush, I can't help but
- to think back to U2 live clips that I saw on Canadian TV almost 10
- years ago (up 'til the mid-80's, Canada was ahead in "new wave" and
- reggae; comparisons of Rolling Stone charts vs. those from Toronto
- or other Canadian newspapers will bear that out) for the club tours
- supporting "Boy" and "October" when I recall the Chalk Circle shows.
