In 1979, Andrew St. George, Richard Rudolph, Tony Blaise and Mark Valdez formed a band in St. George’s Toronto basement. Through an ad in the Toronto Star, they added Simon Slinger as the lead vocalist, and The Start was in business. After a few shows at Lee’s Palace, The Horseshoe, The Edge and Larry’s Hideaway, they were noticed by Capital Records and offered an album deal. The single track Hey You comes from the bands 1980 debut album. It was used frequently as one of the theme songs in The All Night Show with Chuck the Security Guard in Toronto. Thanks to this the band got the change to do concerts with the likes of The Pretenders, The B52s, Teenage Head and Elvis Costello at Toronto’s outdoor festival, Heatwave. Unfortunately, the song, the band and The All Night Show were relatively short-lived, and are now but pleasant memories of a long-gone era.
