In college, Chevy Chase played drums in a jazz-rock trio called Leather Canary. Seeing no future in it, he quit to go off and become a globally successful comic actor. The remaining members decided to keep going as a duo, but changed their name to Steely Dan.

Also, before he became a successful actor, Chevy Chase was in a college rock jazz outfit called Leather Canary. That same band went on to record hits such as Peg and others ones too. Yes, thatās right, the band was Steely Dan.

I canāt remember if weāve had this one, but it popped up on my Insta feed from the man himself.
Danny Tenaglia had been commissioned to remix World (The Price Of Love) by New Order. Warner Dance loved the result, but New Order did not. DT removed the vocals and the samples from New Order, and so was born Bottom Heavy.

Saw the same video and never knew where it came from either, would love to hear the whole thing as he just played a snippet. Timeline makes sense as London records got thr whole new order back catalog and had anyone and everyone remixing.
