The band included (from left) bassist Dave, drummer/lead singer Gord, and guitarist Bagpipes McDonald.
One of their songs, I Seen You At The Corner Store, received some airplay on the local AM station in 1980.
After the band split up, Dave returned to his career as a high school geography teacher, while Gord went to prison for stealing golf balls from the forest. Bagpipes, meanwhile, became the lead guitarist in the current touring version of Foreigner.

seems there was a slight mistake in the original post :
"<span>To set the record straight…. These boys aren’t Canadians. They’re from the Davenport, Iowa area. That’s my dad in the middle with the beer. His name is Dave, not Gord. Wade is on the right, and Wade’s brother on the left. They did an excellent cover of “Wild Thing”.</span>
