Scrubbaloe Caine - "Round One" 1973

The six members of Scrubbaloe Cain spent their formative years as Cannonball, playing venues in Calgary, Winnipeg, and Quebec City. It was when the band was in Winnipeg that Don Hunter, The Guess Who's manager, took an interest in the band. Hunter sent out Jim Kale, who had just been released from The Guess Who, to check on the band's progress. At the time, the band had been playing steady at the Electric Circle in Quebec City. Kale was impressed, and gave Hunter a good report. Sometime later, the bands bass player wasn't strong enough, and Kale, being the ex-bassist for the Guess Who, joined the band.
The band released singles from their debut album in 1973 & 74, but to little success. Plans to record a 2nd album tentatively titled "Street Level" never materialized. The band split up broke and far from home in Toronto in '76.
