BOULEVARD CASINO PRESENTS HONEYMOON SUITE & PRISM
LIVE AT THE RED ROBINSON SHOW THEATRE
FRIDAY, JANUARY 23
Formed in 1982 by Johnny Dee and Derry Grehan, Honeymoon Suite have achieved well over a million album sales worldwide. Throughout 1983 and 1984, the band toured across North America releasing their self-titled debut album in June, 1984. The album went Platinum and featured four hit singles: “New Girl Now,” “Burning In Love,” “Wave Babies” and “Stay In The Light.” Their second album, The Big Prize was released in February, 1986 … it also went Platinum and featured four hit singles: “Feel It Again,” “What Does It Take,” “All Along You Knew” and “Bad Attitude” which was featured on the series finale of NBC’s “Miami Vice.” That same year, they won a Juno Award for “Group of the Year.” In 1987, they released their third album, Racing After Midnight … a slightly harder-edged, more guitar- oriented album that spawned a European tour with Status Quo and a headlining tour across Canada. A best-of compilation album was then released in 1989 followed a year later with Monsters Under The Bed which featured the singles, “Say You Don’t Know Me” and “The Road.” In 2001, the band released their first studio album in eleven years, Lemon Tongue. Last year, original members Ray Coburn, Dave Betts and Gary Lalonde returned to the band and just last month, they released their latest album, Clifton Hill.
In the late 60s, the punkish Vancouver band "Seeds of Time" formed the basis for what would eventually become Prism. Their hit single, "My Home Town" was released in 1969 followed by "Cryin' the Blues" which scored modest success in an infant Canadian music market. Seven years later, bandmates Lindsay Mitchell, Al Harlow, Rocket Norton and John Hall would find themselves together again climbing international charts as Prism. In 1977, they released their self-titled album, PRISM which featured the hit single, “Spaceship Superstar.” Armageddon followed two years later and featured some compositional input from the then largely unknown Bryan Adams. After releasing three more albums including a greatest hits album in 1980, the band signed on with Capitol Records and recorded Small Change which was released in 1981. The single, “Don’t Let Him Know” became their first Top 40 hit in the US with the follow-up, “Turn On Your Radar” also making the charts. Today the band continues touring with Harlow performing lead vocals and playing guitar, Gary Grace on drums, Steve-O playing guitars and keyboards and Tad Goddard on bass. Just this past summer, the band released their most recent album, Big Black Sky.
