Joel Anderson - Drums & Percussion   Joel was part of the Edmonton band NEOa4 from 1982-1989. They developed a strong reputation as live performers and cracked the college radio market with their independent releases What's Up (1984) and The Warmer Side Of You (1985) while opening concerts for such acts as The Thompson Twins, Thomas Dolby and The Cure. The band was contacted by record label Duke Street before starting to record demo songs for Warmer Side, but the label dragged its feet so the band released it on their own. After winning several awards, Duke Street finally signed the band in 1987, and the label released a 5 song EP of remixed versions of previously released material and had great sales results. The band went on to release two more albums, the self-titled debut album NEOa4 (1988) and The Hard Way (1989). He joined the band Go Four 3 in 1989, six years after the band was started. Shortly after, the band changed it's name to Thrill Squad and released it's final album It's Party Time (1989). Joel went on to join the Skydiggers in 1993 to play on their album Just Over This Mountain. In 1996 he joined the band as a full member. He plays with the Jim Cuddy Band, and has recorded and toured with Oh Susannah. skydiggers.com Sources: bluerodeo.com, canoe.ca				The Band Joel Anderson Jim Bryson Colin Cripps Kevin McCarragher
