Formed out of the ashes of
Mood Jga Jga in the spring of 1976 when
Gord Osland and Ian Gardiner left to
record with Burton Cummings, the original
line-up was Greg Leskiw, Larry Pink,
Hermann Frühm, Bill Wallace, and Marc
LaFrance. Double keyboards … a
unique treat at their debut in the
Norlander Hotel May 3, 1976 in Winnipeg,
Manitoba, Canada.
Leskiw left the band around 1978, prior to
their first recording. Bob Deutscher
was recruited to replace Greg and by 1979,
they were signed to Stony Plain Records
out of Edmonton. Two albums followed
- the self-titled "Crowcuss" (1979) and
"Starting to Show" (1980).
Greg Godovitz, of Goddo, noted, "Crowcuss
is a band's band. They're the sort
of group you love to go out and play
with."
