Canadian surf rock trio Shadowy Men From A Shadowy Planet put this promotional-only 5-track mini CD out in 1993 before releasing Sport Fishin': The Lure Of The Bait, The Luck Of The Hook the same year. Best known for providing the opening theme music to "Kids In The Hall," the Canadian sketch comedy show that was reminiscent to "Monty Python's Flying Circus" but far more perverted and gay (and in some ways, rivaling in humor or even funnier). "Having An Average Weekend" is their all-time greatest and biggest hit, but personally I find that "Plastics For 500, Bob" is almost as good; it's faster, catchy and you can see the frantic surfer struggling to keep balance when you crank this song up before he wipes out. Many of their songs were used as interludes between sketches on "Kids In The Hall," this song being one of them. "Having An Average Weekend '78" is the band parodying themselves, putting out a heavily distorted, almost stoner-rock version of the song by the same name. Enjoy this and I will upload a full-length by them soon. They formed in 1984, won a Juno in 1992 (the Canadian equivalent to the Grammys), broke up in 1996 and their bassist, Reid Diamond, died in 2001. Easily one of the best surf rock bands there ever was, as out-of-place-and-time as they were.
