Haligua

Found a cassette tape from a band called Haligua in a thrift store here in Ottawa.

Four mediocre straight-edge-punk-rock songs with one hidden untitled gem at the end.


Kids, don't do drugs! All words and music - 1997.

Check out their cool website http://www.reocities.com/SunsetStrip/Palladium/2839/ and they might still check their email (xhaliguax@hotmail.com) thirteen years later too. Send 'em a shout out and see if the boys from Sainte-Anne-De-Bellevue, Quebec are still fighting the good fight!

NO sex + NO drugs + Rock 'n' Roll = Apparently, NO long-term success.

You can order their music here: http://home.ica.net/~hamilton/haligua/mail/mail.htm but probably not.

*UPDATE* November 21, 2010: 

"Thank you for posting this. Here's an update for you on what the ex-members of Haligua are up to music-wise.

Modupeh Taylor Cline played in a couple Toronto area bands then ended up managing a few bands such as The Getaway, Sunriser, Cancel Winter, and Stellarband.

Ben Dussault played drums in Montreal hardcore bands A Death For Every Sin and Final Word then went on to drum for American bands Throwdown and Madball.

Luke Brodie played in a couple bands in Toronto then moved to Mexico City where he started a solo acoustic project in Spanish, released 2 full-length albums, toured extensively, and put out a couple videos.

All 3 are still straightedge, still friends, and live in Toronto."
