Bio

Proud Canadian Punk.

Bio (taken from website):
Sheppy Fortrell, (lead singer and guitar owner) and Jimi Payne (crappy backup vocals and bass) make up Canadian Bush Party. Since 1977 CBP has been churning out album after album. Sheppy (formerly front man for Uncaged Primates) was in line to claim his UI check when the guy in front of him started yelling at the person behind the counter. In the verbal tirade of insults the guy was hurling, Sheppy overheard the phrase "a NAZI in moderation", and Mr Fortrell had to meet this guy. The man hurling the insults was Rev. Jimi Payne, bass player for the long defunct band Parade of Ninjas. Splitting a couple of beers, the two visionaries formed Canadian Bush Party and MODO Records.

They were soon joined by Bucky Lopez, ace drumer for Cockfight and keeper of the CBP mobile. Bucky was the driving force behind such hits as Doin' Farrah Fawcett in the closet and I'm naked (Why arnt you?). Sheppy hails from Esquimault and loves Peach Daiquiris. Bucky was originally from Placentia Newfoundland, but his family soon moved to BC for political reasons. Jimi is from Fort St. John and hates to be reminded of it.
