Cease and Desist Promo Collage For people who have asked us where and how this band came to be, here it is from my perspective. Marc LaFrance came into my life on November 1st, 1985.

Cease & Desist were asked to be the ‘house band’ for The Pumpkin Patch in Richmond BC. We did this gig for a full month leading up to Hallowe’en Eve. We were to play (with very little break time) from 9:00am – 1:00pm every day. Also every day we would have to set up the […]
The year 1975 was a magical time for Michael Sicoly and I. We were so engrossed in going out on the road to become ‘the next Beatles” we couldn’t talk about anything else for months. Although I hardly knew Brien Armstrong, Jeff Neill made sure to write us often from the road and call us […]
I’ve had this audio for quite some time. I got it from Tony Levin years ago (who played bass on these sessions). It’s hard to believe that John was assassinated such a short amount of time after this. He was really looking forward to the next stage of his life and career. We’ve recently seen […]
At the outset, I apologize for the quality of this footage. I dug this out of some old VHS tapes wondering what exactly did I have ‘in this box’. The back story… In 1994, Revolver was getting ready to do a concert at The Vogue Theatre in Vancouver. It was our first time doing the […]

The Way-Back Machine I was born in the City of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada. My mother had passed away from cancer when I was nine. Being kind of a lonely kid, the next two years of my life were spent ‘noodling’ on every instrument my older brothers, Kenny and Jimmy, would bring home from […]
Jeff Neill, Michael Sicoly and I – our one and only gig thus far sadly. We were asked to play a cancer fundraiser at the Bell Centre Theatre in Surrey. This is not a mix from any real professional source… just from the little camera mic’s that videoed the show. When we saw and heard […]
Sometimes you get lucky. I was very, very, very lucky. I met Kelly…. and we fell in love.
