Hey Shawn. . you do a mention of my old band “Newsociety” on the bio for “The Hollow” but i noticed we weren;t up on the page. if you wanna add it i can find an old photo.
The members were
Chris Newby – Lead Vocals
Jess Allin – Guitar/ Back up Vox
Brian Venne – Bass Guitar
Scott Gillett – Drums
We were a punk band started back in highschool in 1998. We all went our seperate ways after highschool. Later Brian Venne and I started “The Rucks” with Lee Fletcher.
Now posted, send in the pic Scott. 🙂
no problem. I just sent my buddy an email. he should send me a photo over within the next day. and than I will send it your way.
Shawn:
Another trip into the past. The “Violations” were an R&B group from the late ’60’s & early ’70’s. The core group was Mel Crewe – vocals, Lazzie Day – guitar, Bill “Junior” Crosby – guitar, Dennis Lucas – Bass. They would recruit other members as necessary – St.Clair Shadd on saxophone, Brian Blakely – drums. Any more specific info you can probably get from Dennis – he lives on Colburne Ext. or Mr. Crewe who I believe is still an Alderman in Chatham Kent.
Thanks. I will be talking with Mel tomorrow.

Hi Shawn,
I’m a former Chatham resident. Love your site, and love what you’re doing.
This is probably too marginal for your site but if you wanted to include everything, I’ll mention that I formed a band called “Good Question” in 1990 or so, purely as a diversion. Recorded one album of original songs (named for the band) at Barnyard Studios in Blenheim (owned by the irreplaceable Tony Meriano, engineered by Steve Fowler with the able assistance of Sean Meriano) in 1991, and performed once at the Cultural Center (in a smaller room, not in the main hall). Brad Davis on bass, Fred Feyen on drums, Paul Vanderkooy on 12-string acoustic, and me, Bill Van Dyk, on guitars. I wrote most of the songs, Paul Vanderkooy wrote two (on the recording). Thanks. bvandyk@rogers.com
is there any way you can add our band the TBH we only been around since august 3rd 2013 and we have played 2 birthdays and a party for my friend who has cancer, so contact me for pictures and information. My email is chrisbrown27@hotmail.ca
You can email the complete info to our email posted on this page above. We normally don’t post bands unless they have been around for at least a year due to constant member changes new bands go through in the first couple years.
Hey Shawn, great site. Still waiting for some Time is a Hymn on here when ya get time. We can get you some music and pics anytime you ask. englandsson@hotmail.com

Hello,
I am currently searching for information about my father. He was said to be in the music industry and was around the Chatham Blenheim area. His name was Marcus Lindsay, he may have went by Mark Lindsay. He is now deceased. If anyone has any information about his music talents it would be greatly appreciated.
