Bootsauce was an off the wall Canadian rock band formed in Montreal in 1989. Often compared to Red Hot Chili Peppers[by whom?], they combined soul, funk and metal sounds and were considered by many to be ahead of their time, despite being practitioners of a genre that had become almost entirely defunct by their year of formation. Bootsauce was Drew Ling (vocals), Pere Fume (guitar), Sonny Greenwich Jr. (guitar), Alan Baculis (bass guitar), and John “Fatboy” Lalley (drums). Bootsauce's highest charting single, "Tuba Skank", reached number 34 on the Trent Radio rock chart in 1993; but in the years since their dissolution the band's popularity and legacy climbed to even greater heights among niche audiences, such as bargain used bins and pawn shops.
