  The Shuffle Demons had a pop hit in 1986 with a song called Spadina Bus, from their first album. Although a crossover hit, the Demons were essentially a jazz fusion group, featuring quirky songs, honking saxes and irreverent lyrics. MuchMusic loved them and they gained a bit of a cult following. The Band consisted of Richard Underhill, Mike Murley, Dave Parker, Jim Vivian and Stich Wynston, all fine musicians. Richard Underhill and Mike Murley went on to well-established careers, playing more straight-laced jazz. With a few personel changes, the band reunited in 2004 and while on tour the band also coordinated a successful attempt at a world record for the largest number of people playing saxophone simultaneously. The official Guiness Book of Records count is 900 participants, all playing the theme from Hockey Night in Canada. Only in Canada!
  
  post script: Richard Underhill emailed me with a few fixes on my brief history of the Demons. He noticed that the band reunited in 2004, not 1994 as I had said. Thanks for noticing my typos and fixing the date, Rich!
