about

the MEANIES were the 1978 brainchild of drummer Stephen Muir and guitarist Arne Eigenfeldt. Kevin Swain on bass was an early member whom eventually left to tour with regional bands. During 1979 Barry joined on keyboards and as a trio they created and recorded songs on 4-track reel tape during 1980 and 1981.

Between 1979-1981 the MEANIES recruited Scott & Brian Harding and David Henschel to play shows in and around Vancouver to enthusiastic reception by local Punk, New Wave and Jazz Punk fans.
