Chapman and Duggan-Smith (along with Graeme Williamson) first worked together in Pukka Orchestra, a self-described “urban cult band” that were mainstays of the early ‘80s Toronto scene. Critical faves, they also notched serious radio play with such infectious singles as “Cherry Beach Express” and “Might As Well Be On Mars” (tunes that certainly stand the test of time), while selling impressive numbers of their self-titled 1984 debut album. Their current comrade, Russell Walker, also tasted ‘80s pop fame, as a member of the band New Regime. In the post-Pukka era, Tony and Neil worked together as Neotone. As well as remaining active as a songwriter (he’s currently co-writing with Alannah Myles), Duggan-Smith has pursued a parallel career as a highly-regarded maker and restorer of guitars. He has worked extensively with famed luthier Linda Manzer, building guitars for such artists as Pat Metheny and Bruce Cockburn. The ever-busy Neil Chapman has recorded two solo albums, tours with his southern rock band Zedhead, and is in great demand both as a session player and touring guitarist for the likes of Buffy Sainte-Marie, Bill King’s ‘Saturday Night Fish Fry’ and ‘Rockit 88 Band’.
