Crowcuss Unearths Lost 1976 Recordings
In 2025, Crowcuss discovered a collection of unreleased recordings featuring its original lineup: Greg Leskiw, Bill Wallace, Marc LaFrance, Hermann Fruhm, and Larry Pink. Recorded live to two-track at Roade Recording Studios in Winnipeg in 1976, these long-lost performances capture the band’s raw energy and distinctive blend of prairie rock, blues, and jazz fusion.
Working with Delinquent Records, distributed by Royalty Gnomes, Crowcuss has released “Big Man in the Country,” “Universal Blues,” and most recently, “How Far You Should Let Yourself Go.”
Band Biography
Born in the vibrant Winnipeg scene of 1976 from the ashes of Mood Jga Jga, (disbanded earlier that year), the founding members Greg Leskiw and Hermann Fruhm recruited Marc LaFrance and Larry Pink from Musical Odyssey, along with Bill Wallace from The Guess Who. The band made its live debut on May 3, 1976, at Winnipeg’s Norlander Hotel. Greg Leskiw departed after six months to chase new horizons, with guitarist Bob Deutscher eventually stepping in to replace him.
