Artist: Blind Ravage, Album: Blind Ravage, Song: Friday Fish

"Supper is 7 on Friday is fish."  Blind Ravage were a rock band from Montreal, Quebec.  They were John Charbonneau, Bob Dufour, Serge Fleury and Andre Deguire.  They formed in 1969 and played the club circuit for a couple of years, performing mainly as a cover band.  Their hard guitar rock sound was likely born from those nights covering the likes of Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.  They released their debut album in 1972 with the Crescent Street label.  The album was a nice collection of original songs along with an inventive cover of the classic, Suzie Q.  Friday Fish, is a deep album track from this release that never made it as a single but it is definitely one of the best tunes on the album.  You can check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkfAu58FuRM&feature=endscreen.  Unfortunately, this was the only release from the band as the members parted ways in 1973.  However, the album was re-released in 2007 by the U.S. independent label, Gear Fab (http://gearfab.swiftsite.com/).  You can purchase new copies of the album at Amazon or from the Gear Fab website.  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
