Hard to Search Bands

Toronto Star, Nov 8, 1984

This is a super interesting list (November 1984) if anyone has time to search, but tons of generic names hard to search :

  • The Church - just really hard to find given the name
  • Gospel Shop - weird - they have replied 'yeppers' to be me asking if CIA is theirs here https://youtu.be/T8yFONPMLJQ?feature=shared but I think DJF knows this band and my bet right now is they are misunderstanding the question.
  • The Magnetics - unknown BUT they there is one BMI entry for "CIA" that reads "MAGNETIC COMMAND PRODUCTIONS". Worth checking if anyone has time.
  • The Reason - hard to track down due to generic name
  • D.C. Divers - also hard to search this name without getting 1000 wrong results
  • Hostage - ditto
  • Tokyo - ditto
  • Compass - ditto
  • Freedom Fighters - ditto. But I could see a group called Freedom Fighters doing a song called "CIA" right?

One possibility is we are struggling to find our band because they have a generic name that's really hard to search.
