Private School

Private School was formed in the summer of 1978, and was on fixture on the Vancouver scene until their demise in late 1979. Private School was often pegged as an “art school” band, but their musical repertoire was eclectic, and also featured some harder punk tunes. They played with every sort of local band, from D.O.A. to UJ3RK5, and bridged the gap between the art-school and hardcore-punk scenes; they opened shows for The Police at the Commodore, and the Dead Kennedys at the Smilin’ Buddha. "Rock And Roll Radio" appeared on the 'Vancouver Complication' LP; and from the same sessions, they released four more songs on the 'Lost In Action' 7-inch EP, so-named because by the time it was released in December 1979 the band had already split-up.
