Product Details

Toronto's Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet carved out a singular niche in the early '90s indie underground, built on twangy, reverb-soaked instrumentals that owed as much to surf and spaghetti western soundtracks as to post-punk economy. They're probably best known to a generation of Canadians as the band behind the "Kids in the Hall" theme, but their studio work rewards deeper listening, and "Sport Fishin'" stands as their most fully realized collection.

Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet is the seminal Canadian instrumental combo formed in Toronto, in 1984. They released three albums before disbanding in 1996, reconstituting once again in 2013. Yep Roc Records is proud to be re-releasing all three original studio albums digitally and on CD, vinyl in deluxe gatefold sleeves, with expanded artwork, liner notes by Bon Von Wheelie, Bry Webb, and Scott McCaughey and contextual essays by band associates.

Sport Fishin': The Lure Of The Bait, The Luck Of The Hook, is the third full-length release from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.
