Formed in 1989 by singer Andy Maize and guitarist Josh Finlayson, the band soon added Peter Cash, Wayne Stokes and bassist Ron Macey to their lineup. They quickly became a regular house band at Toronto's Spadina Hotel, often playing with Cash's brother, singer/songwriter Andrew Cash.
In 1989, the band became the first Canadian signing to Enigma Records. Their self-titled debut album was released on Enigma the following year, and spawned the singles "Monday Morning" and "I Will Give You Everything".

80 ODD HOURS - SKYDIGGERS (from Just Over this Mountain)
(When I saw them play this, Peter Cash had his guitar capoed at the 4th fret. When strumming the G chord, periodically lift and hammer down on the 6th and 5th strings. The chord changes are fairly slow leaving a lot of open strings being strummed. This is from memory, and just the acoustic so feel free to E-mail any corrections or comments.(sans castigation please) Have Fun. David Bruce - [email protected]
