Harvard Street Before Big Chunk O'Rock, Bobby and Randy played with Harvard Street, a hot corporate event entertainment band active from the mid 90's to 2006. Harvard Street did only one nighters with a lot of gigs at the Winnipeg Convention Centre, the Winnipeg Winter Club, in Winnipeg Community Clubs, banquet halls and so on. The band did some pretty big gigs like: Winnipeg Arena Parka Party when the Grey Cup was in town the Aurora Festival with Blue Rodeo on the bill. Above: John, Jim , Kim, Randy, Bobby Photo at left is Harvard Street belting it out at the Winnipeg Arena "Parka Party" when the Grey Cup was in town.

The Odd Couple Randy, Warren and Marty (2005 reunion) Substitute Martini drinking Warren with Tequila sipping Bobby and you have Big Chunk O'Rock. The Odd Couple was active in Winnipeg live music venues for about 18 years during the 60's and 70's. The founding members were Randy, Norman and Ziz. Subsequent versions included "Randy, Billy and Jay", just "Randy and Billy", "Randy, Billy and the Dreaded Dan", "Randy, Billy and Marty" and finally "Randy, Warren and Marty". Warren and Randy played together in a band called Mad House. A famous configuration of The Odd Couple included Wild Bill Pavlik on bass in the 70's. Billy also recorded with one of the hottest bands of the 60's, The Quid. Check out *The Odd Couple* link for that 70's look! And the photo at right is how they've cleaned up as of May of 2008. (Photo taken in Vancouver where Billy currently hangs out) The Odd Couple usually played 6 nights a week for 30 or 40 weeks a year - That's a lot of stage time!

PsssstKrookid Laurie, Jimmy, __, __, __. & Bobby (1975?) Aaaah! One of the finer bands of the 70's! And we are proud to say, one of the root bands of both Big Chunk O'Rock (Bobby) and Harvard Street (Bobby & Jimmy). Check it out - that's Bobby in the cape on the left. That's Bobby again on the far right - Pluckin that bass, directing the band and smokin??? Gotta admit though - Cool shirt!
