I also have fond memories of the 'Cuda. Before my wife and I 'officially' began dating, we went there with a few friends. As often is the case, we all were separated and she I ended up at the same bar at the back of the club. It was incredibly hot in there that night and we both we're sipping on some nice cool water, when suddenly she spits some in my face. Being the gentlemen that I am, I in turn spit some in her face. From that moment I knew I had to marry this girl. We've been married 11 years, and she still spits water in my face.

I also wanted to ask if you knew how to get a hold of an unreleased Hip song. I hear on the local London radio station each Sunday on their 'Acoustic Lunch' - can't quite remember the name, but something like "Get Back Again"...any thoughts?

It's funny we've both been married 11 years and we both met our wives at the 'Cuda.

Yes, "Get Back Again", recorded in Kingston back in '95. According to A Museum After Dark's Unreleased Songs Information Page . . . written by Gord Sinclair and played in 1990. Recorded for Road Apples but never released. Last played in 1995.

Lyrics:
What's the deal with your dad?
He don't even know my name
Didn't know he'd be back
Didn't know we'd been bad
No one stayed to share the blame

I didn't mean to do that
She won't even come around
Everytime I look back
Didn't realize that
I was better off then now

Mother's came and cried for Abel (Mother's came and cried for Abel)
Brother Cain survived the century's end (Brother Cain survived the century's end)
All the time that I thought was my friend (All the time that I thought was my friend)
Be all right till we get back again

Heaven knows you are right (They won't never drag you down)
They won't never drag you down (There aint time to lose sight)
There aint time to lose sight
Getting lost in the light (Getting lost in the light)
Is more than never being found (Is more than never being found)

Mother's came and cried for Abel (Mother's came and cried for Abel)
Brother Cain survived the century's end (Brother Cain survived the century's end)
All the time that I thought was my friend (All the time that I thought was my friend)
Be all right till we get back again

We never could go back (And I could never leave my home)
And I could never leave my home (Why'd they change your face like that?)
Why'd they change your face like that?
If I'd never seen you (If I'd never seen you)
I could always dream (I could always dream)
That I'd be better off alone (That I'd be better off alone)

Mother's came and cried for Abel (Mother's came and cried for Abel)
Brother Cain survived the century's end (Brother Cain survived the century's end)
All the time that I thought was my friend (All the time that I thought was my friend)
Be all right till we get back again

Be all right till we get back again
Be all right till we get back again

There's an MP3 floating around somewhere, but I'm afraid I don't have it.

does anyone remember the name of the club that was directly across the street from the Barracuda? it used to be called Scorpio, but it was something else before that.
