Product Details

Toronto's Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet built a cult following on the strength of their reverb-drenched, surf-inflected instrumentals, and their influence stretched far beyond Canada's indie underground. Best known to a generation of TV viewers as the house band behind Kids in the Hall, they proved that instrumental rock could carry genuine wit and menace in equal measure.

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.

Dim The Lights, Chill The Ham is the second full-length release from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet.
