<center><h1><a href="sweat.htm">The&nbsp;SWEATERS</a>!</h1>REAL MEN PLAY POP!<p>
  When Vancouver hard-pop veterans <a href="sweat.htm"><img src="sweaters/sweaters2.jpg" border=1 align="left">The&nbsp;SWEATERS</a> were asked to record the song
"<a href="creep.htm">Dump&nbsp;That&nbsp;Creep</a>" for the <a href="tribute.htm">SHOT&nbsp;SPOTS</a> <a href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a> tribute album, they were both thrilled
and honoured.  Not only were they happy to pay tribute to the CanRock
institution that is <a 
href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a>, but each of <a href="sweat.htm">The&nbsp;SWEATERS</a> has a personal connection
to the "<a href="boys.htm">Boys in the Bright&nbsp;White&nbsp;Sports&nbsp;Car</a>".<p>
  <a href="sweat.htm"><img src="sweaters/sweaters1.jpg" border=1 align="right"></a>Singer Pete&nbsp;Campbell remembers <a href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a> as one of the first concerts he ever
saw, back in his high school days in Victoria&nbsp;BC.  "We all pretty much thought
they sucked, but you couldn't help but clap along in the breakdown part of
"<a href="hell.htm">Raise&nbsp;A&nbsp;Little&nbsp;Hell</a>".  Also, in my year book the line, "<a href="goodtime.htm">We're&nbsp;Here for a Good&nbsp;Time, 
Not a Long&nbsp;Time</a>", appears more often than any other quote as a source of
personal inspiration to the grads of "79".<p>
  <a href="sweat.htm">SWEATERS</a> drummer, James&nbsp;Richards, has his own <a 
href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a> story.  Instead of
<a href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a> being a guilty pleasure, he has nothing but affection stemming from an
early connection to the band.  His Uncle&nbsp;Werner popped in a tape of "<a href="http://www.trooper.ca/disc/hs.html">Hot&nbsp;Shots</a>"
on the way to a weekend camping trip when James was young.  "I found rock'n'roll
a little scary but I even liked that too", he adds, "I had to buy the record
when I saw it at K~Mart."<p>
  Rounding out <a href="sweat.htm">The&nbsp;SWEATERS</a>, bassist Shawn&nbsp;Turkington doesn't have much to say
one way or the other about <a href="trooper.htm">TROOPER</a>.  "But I do like that Iron&nbsp;Maiden song "<a href="trooper.mp3">The&nbsp;Trooper</a>" 
though."...and that's good enough for us.<p>
<a href="people.htm"><img src="glogo.gif" border=0 align="right" alt="GORGE RECORDS!"></a>
  Look for the new <a 
href="sweat.htm">SWEATERS</a>' CD "The&nbsp;Kick&nbsp;Me&nbsp;Generation" on <a href="people.htm">Gorge&nbsp;Records</a> this
spring, and check out <a href="sweat.htm">The&nbsp;SWEATERS</a> webpage at:  <a href="sweat.htm">thesweaters.com<p><img src="sweaters/sweaters3.jpg" border=1></a>
