Thread Name: McLean and McLean-foul mouthed Canadian duo
Subject: RE: McLean and McLean
Actually their puerile filth is still easily available, in worse used record stores everywhere.

I met them once. I can't even remember how I got on the same bill with them, but I seem to remember the audience being in shock. I'm not sure if they were the ONLY Canadian band in history to have an album COVER banned (shades of Spinal Tap!), but if you find one with the Brothers riding a tandem bicycle, grab it! One of them is a double arm amputee, and the other, a double LEG amputee. I thought it was pretty funny, but decent Canadians disagreed.

They may also be the only band with a dozen albums, who worked regularily, who NEVER received even one DROP of airplay. I know THIS much. They were THE favourite band of ALL the biker gangs....but I don't know how much the Hell's Angels paid.

Cheers
