The Enemas

Click image for more photos ...
The Enemas were a Guelph college/punk band who we saw a few times at the Cedar Lounge in London Ontario. I really liked them — they were outrageous. The group was Greg Jarvie (drums), Oliver Kellhammer (vocals), Derek Graham (guitar), Blaine White (guitar) and Brian Lambert (bass).

 Brian Lambert, who played bass in the band and later in a group "Nach dem Tode", was from London and we became acquainted in later years. Recently Brian posted a YouTube video of the band performing "Joe Wyatt" using and crediting some of my photos from that time. Many thanks.

I have a CD I digitized from a C90 Brian had given me. It includes this tune and more. I've shared it with a few friends over the years.

If you're interested in more pictures of the band click on the image at left. These are all the pictures I have from that era — they have not been edited down to a "best of" collection.

See also my blog of 2012 on the London Graphic Underground — there was a gallery showing, a book released (Brian Lambert & Mike Niederman) with some of my photos and a reunion concert where the Enemas and several other bands played Call the Office in London.

It's nice to see history preserved.

P.s. Brian has also posted a version of the Enemas "Gang War" on YouTube. Another great tune.
