Memory Day were a rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia. They were Charlie Mackenzie, Lanny Hussey, Todd Oliver and Scott Fletcher. Their music was a blend of folk and rock. The band had a song called, Who Is They, featured on an Indie Can sampler from 1992. After some digging, I discovered their one and only release from 1992 entitled, Jenkin's Farm. Apparently, the band took a year to record the album in an old movie theatre in Vancouver. It's a very strong release with a number of great tracks including this one entitled, Figure It Out. The album is available for download from Itunes and Cdbaby.com. Unfortunately, these are likely the only places to hear a sample of the song as well. The band does have a Myspace page which includes some of the other album tracks (http://www.myspace.com/memoryday). Charlie Mackenzie is still recording as a solo artist with at least two albums to his credit. Some of the members of Memory Day are still playing with him as well. You can follow Charlie at http://www.myspace.com/charliemackenziemusic. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
