The Bachman Cummings Band, which is made up of The Guess Who members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (who is also in Bachman-Turner Overdrive and CBC Radio One's Vinyl Tap program), and members of Toronto's famous cover band, The Carpet Frogs, are about to release their first studio album together for the first time since the 1980s, and as the first time being The Bachman Cummings Band.
The new album is titled Jukebox and features covers of many tracks by artists that inspired them while growing up in the north end of Winnipeg.
The album is to be released in June, and this will be the first time that Cummings is releasing a studio album since 1990 with Plus Signs. Bachman just released his new album Jazz Thing II featuring Jay Geils and the New Guitar Summit.

I just returned from Orlando where I attended with my family a 'Guess Who" show at Epcot. When the band hit the stage there was no Bachman..no Cummings..no Pederson..just Jim Cale?? and 4 others. To say I was extreemely dissapointed and embarrased would be an understatement!! They completely BUTCHERED all the great GH songs they played. Carl Dixon (Coney Hatch singer) as the new lead singer of the Guess Who?? I think not. They are touring the US and BUTCHERING the great name of the Guess Who. AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! They said before the show no pics or videos (I did take some video) would be allowed..now I know why.
Thanks for your input.
That's the problem with the current lineup of the Guess Who, people are expecting Bachman and Cummings but lots of the concerts use posters with the older version of the Guess Who.
I've been fortunate to not see any Guess Who the F? concerts.. since they're only touring in the US
Feel free to share this experience on one of the most popular Guess Who fan forums, there's lots of hatred towards the current lineup of the band: http://www.guesswhofans.com/whooligans/
