Bootsauce was a Canadian rock band based in Montreal.[1][2] The band was composed of Drew Ling (real name Drew Thorpe) (vocals), Pere Fume (real name Perry Johnson) (guitar), Sonny Greenwich Jr. (guitar), Alan Baculis (bass guitar),[3] and John "Fatboy" Lalley (drums). Their style combined soul, funk and metal sounds. Two of their albums, The Brown Album and Bull achieved Gold status in Canada.[4] Their style was sometimes compared favorably to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[5][6]

History

Bootsauce was founded in 1989 in Montreal. The band was nominated for a Juno Award as Most Promising Group in 1991, and received a Juno in 1992 for their 1991 single "Everyone's a Winner", a Hot Chocolate cover.[7] Their songs were played on MuchMusic.[8]

In 1992, Bootsauce was part of the cross-Canada Big, Bad & Groovy tour organized by MCA Concerts,[9][10] along with Art Bergman.[11] That year they released an album, Bull on the band's own label.[12] In 1993, the band released the album Sleeping Bootie. The song "Sorry Whole" was released as a single and reached #1 on the RPM Cancon chart. Touring for the Sleeping Bootie album, Bootsauce played the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver for the first time on February 4, 1994.[13]

Reunion Rumours

Greenwich mentioned on the Toronto Mike'd podcast that there was talk of a potential Bootsauce reunion tour in the early 2020s to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bull but there ultimately wasn't enough interest to make the tour happen.[14]
