Topic: New Tab Postings
We go into the request file for this tab, Coney Hatch's "Devil's Deck". The big break for this Toronto band came in 1981 when (Max Webster lyricist) Pye Dubois caught one of their local club shows. He introduced them to Kim Mitchell, who first worked with the band to further hone their sound, and was then instrumental in getting them signed to Anthem Records, the label that was also home to both Mitchell and Rush.
Mitchell then served as co-producer for the band's self-titled debut album (pictured), which was released in 1982. "Devil's Deck" was one of the singles off this disc, as was the last-minute addition "Hey Operator". The album proved to be successful, achieving gold status. In the liner notes of the Coney Hatch compilation disc Best Of Three, singer/guitarist Carl Dixon commented on how the writing of "Devil's Deck" came together:
"This was the second song we ever wrote together after I joined the band. It was at the old Maples Inn in Montreal. Andy (Curran, bassist) had the lyrics, I offered the Intro and melody, Steve (Shelski, lead guitar) put in some things, and voila, MTV. That's Kim Mitchell singing on the 'Devil' part of the Chorus."
Just looking at the video again, I see I need to make a few more adjustments to the tab, all in the solo (Bar 12, for example). Sometime within the next two or three days, changes will be made.
