  • Pointed Sticks were(are) a Canadian punk rock/power pop band from Vancouver, active from 1978 to 1981. They reunited to perform in 2006 and have remained active since then. They were the first Canadian band signed to Stiff Records, although the label was going through financial problems and never released an album by the band. The original band consisted of vocalist Nick Jones, guitarist Bill Napier-Hemy, bassist Tony Bardach and drummer Ian Tiles. Keyboard player Gord Nicholl joined soon after. Johnny Ferreira later joined on saxophone, Bardach was replaced by Scott Watson on bass, and Tiles was replaced by drummer Robert Bruce (from Active Dog), and later by Ken "Dimwit" Montgomery. The band released four singles before releasing their only full-length album, Perfect Youth in 1980. All of their recordings were re-released in 1995 on the Zulu Records compilation Part of the Noise. In 2005, Perfect Youth was reissued by Sudden Death Records, followed the next year by a compilation of singles, outtakes, and other rarities, entitled Waiting for the Real Thing. The original band members reunited in 2006 for a Japanese tour, and they continued to play sporadic concerts in Canada and the United States through 2008. In 2009 the band recorded an album of all new material,"Three Lefts Make A Right",which will be released Nov 1 on Northern Electric records. Advance reviews have been spectacular.
