“Given their enduring presence on classic Canadian rock radio it might be hard to believe, but once upon a time CFRO was the only station which would touch Doug & the Slugs! The band is eternally grateful to Co-op Radio for its early support – in 1978 the Slugs had no management, no record deal and almost no airplay. CFRO would broadcast ‘Live On Arrival’ usually from Rohan’s on 4th Ave and those tapes are some of the only recordings of the band’s early material. With the release in 1979 of their independent single ‘Too Bad’, Doug & the Slugs suddenly had national airplay on mainstream radio. They returned from a no-budget Ontario tour to their first sellout at the Commodore Ballroom in December 1979. This song ‘Dark Connections’ was recorded at that gig, but has never appeared on an album until now – 42 years later!”
