Steve Perry

It's official: in a recent poll of lead singers in bands named after Due South characters and/or former Canadian prime ministers, 100% voted that the person they hate most in the world is Steve Perry from Journey.

Parenthetical to that, here's a bit of Diefenbaker audio I'd been meaning to put up for a while, but never got around to:

CLICK IF YOU HATE STEVE PERRY

It's from a very early "full band" practice recording (from that same hand-held cassette recorder, circa August '09) of when we were first starting to get the music together for Maybe Michelle. If you can't be bothered to listen to the actual clip, it pretty much sounds like New Order and Gang of Four being forced into a room together, hating each other at first, then realising that they have a lot in common and just fucking running with it.

If you put this together with the previously posted DA recording of Maybe Michelle with the current vocal, you can get a fairly good idea of what the song is shaping up to sound like, much more so than the demo version.
