Ever heard of the Deverons? Me neither, until about an hour ago. They were a Canadian band, that had among it's members Burton Cummings, who would end up in the Guess Who. Their song "She's My Lover" is a mid-sixties garage song, but judging by the photo above I think it's safe to say they lacked that sort of badassry that some of their U.S. contemporaries had going on. Though that might not be the reason you or I have never heard of them. Truth is, they sound like they're winding down for the night. There's that little energy going on. In fact, it's an energy zapper, it will rob you. But I dig the guitar solo, not because it's good, but because it sounds kind of fucked up, like the guy is just learning how to bend notes. (I'd like to imagine it a very young Robert Quinne just learning to screw with things.) You'll probably hear something completely different. You may hate it, but there's another Canadian thing down there that's an up tempo rave-up with some neat bass and lots of fuzz. It's by the wimply named The Passing Fancy. It sounds like they can't decide if they want to be the Yardbirds or the early Beatles. Both are on an old post at Detailed Twang, which you should check out. There's a lot more good stuff. Get your moose on.
