What a long, strange trip it's been! Here's something to make some of you rockers feel old -- this year, Sparkling Apple is celebrating its 45th Anniversary. The drummer and the guitarist (Captain Maniac and Art the Fart the Heavy Metal Kid...) have been the same all these years, so those of you who joined us at our New Year's Eve 2014 gig at Donegal's will have also attended our 45th Anniversary. Yes, it is true: we started in 1969, and through the magic & wonders of medications and wheelchair access to the stage, we continue to rock well into the 21st Century -- and not in rockin' chairs! Have a drink on me! Meer weergeven

Joining us on New Year's Eve at Donegal's is North Vancouver's own "House Party", proving once and for all that the house will definitely be rockin'!

Another successful rehearsal! (Jeez, in the old days, it used to be called "band practice", but nowadays that conjures up visions of trumpets, tubas and glockenspiels!).
