@Canadian_Eh A version of this blurb has now been posted here several times, without any acknowledgment that GBS disbanded some years ago (unless they have reunited more recently). However, frontman Alan Doyle is still in circulation as a solo act; I saw him in Baltimore, MD a couple of years ago.

@rella7209 I took another look at the sources of this one - Canadian Encyclopedia doesn't reference disbanding, and the closest Wikipedia gets is Alan Doyle calls the band 'retired'. So does that mean the band could come out of retirement? Would be cool.

Here's the Wikipedia link... good read!
