Teaze

Ontario-based Teaze were more popular in Japan during a short tour in 1978 than the band's entire career in their native country. Formed in 1975 by Chuck Price, Mike Kozak, Mark Bradac and Brian Danter, Teaze only released one popular single in , "Sweet Misery" in 1978. The group's albums include a self-titled debut in 1977, On the Loose (1978), One Night Stand (1979), Tour of Japan (1979) and Body Shots (1980).

They were discovered by Mel Shaw who produced a bunch of demos with the band to help them launch their career. The band and Shaw loved the songs so much that they decided to turn it in a full album. This LP was released with Force One Records, a division of London Records.

Bob Rags,Terry Flood, Donald Tarlton aka Donald K. Donald, and Aquarius Records discovered and signed Teaze with Aquarius Records They first seen the group at the famed RPM convention in Toronto Canada. The group was then purchased from Force One Records, Mel Shaw and then personal manager Stan Witcher.....Their only hit single had been released with this label on their second album, On The Loose. It was a slow ballad called Sweet Misery.

In 1977, they moved to Montreal and started touring all over US and Canada without getting much visibility. Their big-break happened in Sept. of 1978, when they toured in Japan for ten days. The reception was so favorable that they recorded a live album there: Tour Of Japan.

When they came back to their new adopted hometown, they met , leader of the band who was signed with Aquarius Records since the very beginning. Goodwyn produced One Night Stands. The result of that album was a lot more serious than their firsts two releases. It consequentially ended up being their only U.S./worldwide release on Capitol/Aquarius Records. They also toured all around the world to spread their popularity without a lot of success. Body Shots, the last record recorded by Teaze was produced by Nick Blagona who some attribute a major factor in the demise of the band.

As a consequence the last album "Body Shots" did not produce any hits, Brian Danter left the group to pursue his life long religious calling, Aquarius Records and the band failed to find a suitable replacement. Aquarius Records lost interest in the band and decided to break the contract. The band split-up at that time.

Myles Goodwyn produced two best-of compilations after Teaze's break-up. Those albums also been released by Aquarius. One of these album, A Taste Of Teaze became their best seller.

The song Heartless World from the album One Nights Stands was featured in the 2014 Icelandic movie Málmhaus (aka Metalhead).

The song Heartless World was also featured in a movie called "Twists of Terror" starring Donald Sutherland!
