In 1964 when acts like
The Beatles and
The Rolling Stones were invading North America from Britain, there was a similar but lesser known invasion happening in
South America but the bands were coming from...
Canada.
Groups like the
Bay Street Strollers,
Nick and Friction, and
The Last Words were big in countries like Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Venezuela but there was no bigger Canadian group down there than
Johnny & The Apologies. The group has kindly re-issued two of their hits for the purposes of This Is That and we would like to offer them to you for
free download.
You can grab
'Aurora Borealis In Her Eyes' right here and you can grab
'Mr. Prime Minister' right here. Special thanks to Steve Bays for unearthing these gems and re-mastering them for this historic anniversary.
