Releases by rusty

There are at least two bands called Rusty. 1. Rusty was a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. Following the breakup of One Free Fall, vocalist Ken MacNeil and bassist Jim Moore continued working together, hooking up with former Doughboys member Scott McCullough (guitar) and Mitch Perkins (drums) to record the EP Wake Me in 1994. Released on Handsome Boy Records, the EP was popular on Canadian campus radio, and led to a major label distribution deal with BMG Records for their full length album Fluke in 1995. Led by the hit single "Misogyny", which featured a video consisting of clips from Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce's film Hustler White, Fluke was the band's commercial breakthrough, also spawning the singles "Wake Me", "Groovy Dead" and "California", and earning a Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative Album. In 1996, the band contributed a cover of "Let's Break Robert Out of Jail" to the compilation album A Tribute to Hard Core Logo. The band's followup album, Sophomoric, was released in 1997, including the singles "Empty Cell" and "Oh No Joe". Perkins left the band that year and was replaced by John Lalley. Perkins left the group due to creative differences and released an electronic album independently with Andrew Massey under the name "Blu Pernu". In 1998, Rusty released Out of Their Heads. The band subsequently broke up, playing their final show on November 25, 2000 at venue Opera House, Toronto. They reformed in 2011 for performances in and around Ontario, Canada. 2. Rusty was a progressive rock band from Surrey, United Kingdom, active in the early 1970s. They were initially called Sheephouse but changed their name after their September 1971 single, 'Juicy Lucy', bit the dust. Rusty's line-up featured Danny Edwardson (lead guitar), John Stokes (rhythm guitars), John Moran (bass, keyboards) and Seamus Sell (drums). They relocated to Switzerland for a while and recorded their only LP there: the self-titled Rusty (1972), which they self-released. It was never commercially released by a record label.
