HARLEQUIN
Now Playing: "Somehow...we all..."
Topic: Riff-In-A-Jiff

Today we riff on the first single (and first hit) of Winnipeg band Harlequin. The song is from their debut record Victim Of A Song (1979). The Intro tabbed here features the kind of guitar and keyboard harmonies that were (and probably still are) a trademark of the band's sound. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to come up with an audio clip of the song. While searching for one, though, I did come across an interesting fact or two about the band, things I didn't know before. Like the fact that Denton Young (former lead vocalist for Zon) played drums in one of the later Harlequin lineups.

I've seen Harlequin live twice, several years ago in each case. Both times they were the opener for another band, and both times they were better than the headliner.

Because it's a Harlequin riff, I had a feeling you might say that.

More Harlequin (full tabs) in the New Year! Cool
