Bootsauce were Montreal's answer to the funk-metal question, a band that formed in 1989 and threw soul, funk and metal into the same greasy pot. The lineup was Drew Ling on vocals, Pere Fume and Sonny Greenwich Jr. on guitars, Alan Baculis on bass and John "Fatboy" Lalley on drums, and they slapped, strutted and grinned their way through it all like the party was theirs to throw.
The Brown Album, on Island in 1990, is the loose-limbed debut, with "Scratching the Whole", "Masterstroke", "Everyone's a Winner" and "Play With Me" all popping and grinding on slap-happy bass and guitars that bite. Bull followed in 1992 with the rubbery "Love Monkey #9". Both records went gold in Canada, and more than one listener heard a northern cousin of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in them. The band wound up in 1996.
