- Cats_Can_Fly abstract "Cats Can Fly was a Canadian synthpop band in the 1980s. They released one album in 1986.Cats Can Fly began as a school rock band called Ethos at Elia Junior High School (now Elia Middle School) in North York, Ontario in 1971. The original members were Jim Longmuir on guitar, Alan Frizell on guitar, Frank Miller on drums and Peter Steele (later [1] Peter Alexandre) on bass guitar. The band was was formed under the supervision of School Board consultant Laura Lapedus. In the following year, Mitchell James replaced Longmuir and Frizell left. David Ashley replaced Steele on bass guitar and he switched to keyboards.After a US-based band with the same name released an album the group changed its name to Scamp. Miller eventually left the group and was replaced by Tom Davidson. Scamp toured Canada as a bar band and had limited success including touring with Burton Cummings, winning the CFTR Talent Search and appearing on Global at Noon. Ms. Lapedus eventually became the band's co-manager along with Wayne Baguley and Warren Keach.In 1980, Scamp recorded an album with the producer Jack Richardsonbetter known for producing Guess Who, Bob Seger and Brecker Brothers. Distribution could not be established, however, and the record was never released. After a series of drummers including Geoff Geddes, Phil Knipe and Bill Hibbs, Eddie Zeeman became the band's permanent drummer in 1982. Scamp changed its name to Cats Can Fly shortly thereafter. In its final form it consisted of the vocalist-bass guitarist Ashley, the guitarist James, the keyboard player Steele and the vocalist-drummer Zeeman. One of the band's great strengths was that all four members were talented vocalists. This allowed them to include strong vocal harmonies in their arrangements. They were signed after winning a cross-Canada talent search sponsored by a cigarette company, Craven A. (The same talent search also led to a recording contract for Belinda Metz.)Their album, Cats Can Fly, released on CBS Records, contained the Top 40 hits "Flipping to the A Side" (#16, 1986) and "Lies Are Gonna Get Ya". Despite their success, CBS dropped the band in a major housecleaning that preceded its 1988 takeover by Sony Music Entertainment. The band subsequently broke up.".
