about
Halifax based garage rock and roll band The Sweet Tenders only released two records, 2003's 1.2.3. Love EP and their sole full length in 2005's Skeleton Key. Their first EP was heavily indebted to early garage/frat rock bands covering tracks by the Wailers, while Skeleton Key showed a more refined and Pebbles/Nuggets sound. The band went through a Spinal Tap-esque problem with drummers, using among others members of The GCO, Thier Majesties and The Sleepless Nights. The primary members of the band were Dave Ewenson on lead vocals and saxaphone, Lyle Peterson on lead guitar, Brent Randall on keyboards and (later shakers when Laura Peek did keys for the live show), and Joel Goguen on bass. During their breif lifetime The Sweet Tenders showed a penchant for fashion, dawning costumes and playing themed shows. These included spacesuits, sailors, 3D movie goers, and fire dogs. They played their final show supporting The Bicycles at Stage Nine. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
