  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • From what was said to be show creator and star, Brent Butt’s favorite episode, we learn of “Thunderface”, the band that Dog River residents, Brent, Wanda and Hank had in High School. Their musical style was described as "a small animal caught in some kind of machinery," and their sole gig since 1986 was booked for comedic purposes due to the poor performance. Of note (which is huge for Canadians) this episode featured a cameo appearance by the Tragically Hip, which for those of you in the States who are not aware, is for many Canadians the most important band the country ever produced.
