“If we do well and get some people out, I think we’ll be able to get a few more gigs. “It’s sort of a make it or break it situation for us here,” explains Donnelly. Singer Alex Chuaqui, guitarist Kevin “California” Fyhn, and drummer Jeff Germain are all taking time off from their jobs as home renovators and Keg managers to give old tunes like “Dance”, “Black Box”, and “Down Again”-and a couple of Chuaqui’s new ones-another go. Unlike some so-called reunions, the upcoming QCK show will feature all the original members of the sharp-edged rock act that was a big hit on the prairies back in the early ’80s. “We haven’t seen each other in a long time, so there’s lots of laughs, but then when we play we instantly lock into the groove and play tight. “When we get together it’s like four brothers,” says Donnelly. And believe it or not, these guys have been playing together (on and off) since they were 13, when they played in front of 10,000 people at the Regina Exhibition. That’ll all change at 86 Street next Friday (March 29), when Donnelly reunites with the other members of his old Winnipeg-via-Regina band, the Queen City Kids. But between producing things like Band Warz, Guitar Warz, and Vocal Warz for the PromoCo arm of Feldman and Associates, the 33-year-old father of two doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to steal the spotlight.
