Rheostatics were a band. Although they had only one Top 40 hit (Claire in 1995), they were simultaneously one of Canada’s most influential and most unconventional rock bands in the 19, a band whose defiantly quirky, yet compelling, take on and rock music has been described both as iconic and iconoclastic.

They played their final concert to a sold-out house at Toronto’s Massey Hall on March 30, 2007. Sound board recordings of that and many other shows are available (with permission) at http://rheostaticslive.com.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were the best band ever. I got into them just this year. Great timing...

    "and the Rheostatics are a really great band..." - that line in a Veda Hille song has always fascinated me.

    Listening to my old Rheostatics records right now for the first time in years, I realize how much I miss your shows! Come see us in Vancouver again someday!
