Bachman-Turner Overdrive | Biography & History | Allmusic

Biography by Jason Ankeny Canadian rockers who grew out of the Guess Who and became classic rock heroes starting with the 1974 hit "Takin' Care of Business." Read Full Biography Share on Following his 1970 departure from the Guess Who, guitarist Randy Bachman recorded a solo album (Axe) and planned a project with ex-Nice keyboardist Keith Emerson (later canceled due to illness) before forming Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 1972. Originally called "Brave Belt," the metal group was comprised of singer/guitarist Bachman, fellow Guess Who alum Chad Allan, bassist C.F. "Fred" Turner, and Randy's brother, drummer Robbie; after a pair of LPs (Brave Belt I and Brave Belt II), Allan was replaced by another Bachman brother, guitarist Tim, and in homage to the Play Bachman-Turner Over… trucker's magazine Overdrive, the unit became BTO. on Amazon Music While their self-titled 1973 debut caused little impact in the U.S. or the band's native Canada, Bachman-Turner Active 1970s - 2000s Overdrive II was a smash, netting a hit single with the anthemic "Takin' Care of Business." Prior to the release of Formed 1972 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, 1974's Not Fragile, Tim Bachman exited the group to begin a Canada career in production, and was replaced by Blair Thornton; the Disbanded 1979 album was a chart-topping success, and notched a number one single with "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet." Genre Pop/Rock After 1977's Styles Arena Rock Boogie Rock Freeways, Randy Album Rock Bachman left the Rock & Roll group for a solo career and formed another group, Ironhorse. Hard Rock Bachman-Turner Overdrive continued on in his absence with replacement Jim Clench for two more albums, Street Action Also Known As B.T.O. and Rock n' Roll Nights (both 1978), eventually changing Group Members C.F. Turner their name to simply BTO. At the tail-end of the decade, the Robbie Bachman band dissolved, but in the 1980s they re-grouped to tour as Blair Thornton both Bachman-Turner Overdrive (led by Randy) and BTO Randy Bachman (led by Robbie); the ensuing confusion the name game Jim Clench Tim Bachman triggered ultimately resulted in Randy Bachman filing suit against his one-time bandmates for rights to the group's logo.

Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival
LOCAL NEWS The Party of the Century: Marking 50 Years Since the Niverville Pop Festival May 07, 2020 @ 12:30am Brenda Sawatzky [email protected] Crowds gather for the infamous Niverville Pop Festival in May 1970. On stage: Dianne Heatherington. Photo: Hans Sipma The hippie movement was alive and well in 1970, riding on the waves of the 1967 Summer of Love where more than a hundred thousand hippies converged on San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district to celebrate counterculture music, drugs, free love, and anti-war sentiment. In 1969, Woodstock, New York became famous for its three days of peace and music. Nine months later, hippies would once again amass—this time at a setting much closer to home. This local music event would go down in history not just for the calibre of bands scheduled to play but the memorable events that followed. Sunday, May 24, 1970 was the day of the Niverville Pop Festival. Niverville’s Woodstock During the 1960s and 70s, Winnipeg was a hotbed of young musical talent. One of those bands, called Brother, was quickly rising in notoriety. Its members included Bill Wallace, Kurt Winter, and Vance Masters, and their talent established them as one of the city’s hottest supergroups. Harold Wiebe, formerly of the Niverville area, recalls a night spent in the pub of the Westminster Hotel. There, friend and band member Bill Wallace joined him for a drink between sets. Wallace shared with him an idea to recreate Woodstock right here at home. But unlike Woodstock, Wallace wanted this event to have a charitable purpose.

Rockmusik in Kanada
Rüdiger Meilahn Rock & Pop Splitter (16) Splitter In den bisherigen Ausgaben dieser Reihe standen zumeist britische, US-amerikanische oder deut- sche Interpreten im Vordergrund. Irische und australische Rockmusikgrößen wurden vor einigen Jahren anlässlich der Weimarer Schulmusiktage vorgestellt. Der aktuelle Teil möchte Ihnen einige interessante Bands und Solisten anbieten, welche im zweitgrößten Land der Erde aufgewachsen sind, in Kanada. Kanada ist der Staatsform nach eine Parlamentarische Monarchie. Das Staatsoberhaupt ist Königin Elisabeth II., welche durch eine Generalgouverneurin vertreten wird. Formal erlangte Kanada 1982 seine Unabhängigkeit von Großbritannien. Aktueller Regierungschef ist Premierminister Stephen Harper. Kanadas Wahlspruch lautet: „A Mari Usque Ad Mare“ (lat. für: „Von Meer zu Meer“; abge- leitet von Psalm 72,8). Die Hauptstadt ist Ottawa, und Englisch sowie Französisch sind die Amts- sprachen. Kanada hat etwa 33.000.000 Einwohner und verfügt über eine Fläche von ca. 10.000.000 qkm. Paul Anka Obwohl Anka bis in die 1990-er Jahre dem Plattengeschäft treu geblieben ist, hat er in einem Inter- view Folgendes erzählt: „Ich hatte meine große Zeit in den Jahren von 1957 bis 1962, nachdem die erste Rock-‘n‘-Roll-Welle abgeebbt war. […] Ich reihte in diesen Jahren Hit an Hit, wie Lonely Boy, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, You Are My Destiny oder Puppy Love. Mit 19 Jahren war ich Millio- när.” Paul Anka wurde am 30.07.1941 in Ottawa geboren. Für den Film „Der längste Tag“ schrieb er die Musik und spielte selbst mit. 1963 heiratete er in Paris und hätte spätestens jetzt zum jüngsten und reichsten Frührentner des amerikanischen Showgeschäftes werden können.
