CLEAVE ANDERSON BIO:

Cleave Anderson is a Canadian rock, rockabilly, and punk drummer… We here at The Painted Lady believe the word ‘legend’ applies, though Cleave, always humble, eschews such titles.

Anderson has played and recorded with several well-known groups, including Battered Wives, The Viletones, Sherry Kean, Forgotten Rebels, and Blue Rodeo.

n 1976, after visiting Max’s Kansas City and CBGB and seeing the Ramones, Anderson became interested in the new punk movement. Returning to Toronto, Anderson eventually joined Battered Wives, one of a few new bands on the scene. The band recorded their debut album and opened for Elvis Costello on his first tour in North America. On leaving Battered Wives, he played and recorded with local Punk Rock groups such as Tyranna, Forgotten Rebels and bubblegum punk pioneers the Way Outs.

In 1980 as the first wave of Punk Rock faded, Anderson joined new wave R&B band The Sharks. He would later play with The Shark’s bassist Basil Donovan in Blue Rodeo. Around the same time, Anderson also played with blues artists David Wilcox  and Colin Linden. Anderson returned to roots music doing gigs with Handsome Ned, who had started playing country and rockabilly in Toronto’s Queen St. West artist community.

In 1984 Anderson started rehearsals with Blue Rodeo. Anderson joined the group and is heard on their first two albums, Outskirts and Diamond Mine.

After leaving Blue Rodeo to raise a family, Anderson continued to play with local songwriters and then reconnecting with original punksters Screamin’ Sam. In 1997 he joined the John Borra band (with John Borra from A Neon Rome and Change of Heart) that continues to the present.^[10] In 2004 Anderson formed old school punk rock revivalists the Screwed, who have recorded two albums. In 2011 Sid’s Kids were formed to back up many of the Canadian punk originators and the project is ongoing.

Cleave has toured with the Viletones’ Steven Leckie, Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys and Walter Lure of Johnny Thunders’ Heartbreakers, among others.

Catch Cleave and a host of his buds rip it to shreds.

What started out once as a tiny little trio in late 2009 has grown into a core six-piece reggae groove outfit that brings the good vibes. That said, these days it’s more like a nine-piece!
