Their singer Gord Downie is dying of brain cancer. They're a great band and Canada's greatest export. Check it out if you got a minute.

Very Canadiana rock band that have been around since mid 80's. They are actually hugely popular here but never seemed to make it outside Canada.

I was at the show they recorded for Live Between Us, in Detroit, 1996.
Plenty of Americans at that show. Where ever there's a border crossing there are American Hip fans.
