Mike Tyler

Red Rider formed in Toronto in 1976.  After a gig at the legendary El Mocombo in 1978, they met Tom Cochrane, who had previously pursued a career as a folk singer. He had even released a solo album called “Hang On to Your Resistance” back in 1974 (to little success). Red Rider took Tom Cochrane on as their frontman and soon the band signed with Capitol Records through a connection of Tom’s, and issued their hit debut single, “White Hot,” in late 1979.   Their second album, 1981’s “As Far as Siam”, went platinum and still ranks as their most popular work. It featured the band’s signature song, the Canadian chart-topper “Lunatic Fringe”.  What American T.V. series did the song “Lunatic Fringe” appear in?

A)  Breaking Curfew

B)  Miami Vice

C)  Desperate Housewives

Make your answer one word,…ah, you know the deal.

Have a great “FIRST” official weekend of SUMMER!

Cheers,

Mike
