3 re-issues for classic Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet
Here’s a reissue series on vinyl and CD which might especially interest our Canadian readers. The re-releases come from Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, a seminal Canadian instrumental combo formed in Toronto, in 1984.
The band is perhaps best known for providing the theme song to the sketch comedy TV show, The Kids in the Hall, which you can watch below. They released three albums before disbanding in 1996, reconstituting once again in 2013.
All three original studio albums are being re-issued on CD and 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.
Included in the reissue series are these albums: “Dim the Lights, Chill the Ham” (1991 – available again on CD and vinyl), “Sport Fishin: The Lure of the Bait, The Luck of the Hook” (1993 – available again on CD and vinyl) and “Savvy Show Stoppers” (1988 – the band’s debut – available again on CD and vinyl).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
