He doesn't sing or jump around on stage, but nobody can miss Chas
Elliott. We like to refer to this gentle giant as the world's tallest
free-standing bass player. Porkbelly players (and knowledgeable
audience members) keep track of his expression during concerts,
looking for the smile that bursts forth when the music feels
especially good. Chas has performed and recorded chamber music with
the great Glenn Gould - which very few can claim! - and added his "low-
frequency bass generator" sounds to some famous film scores that we
all hum along to. He towers over his section mates at the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra, but The iPod That Never Leaves Him (TiPTNLH) is filled with deep, powerful, soulful, funky music. An interesting guy...

We've just performed at The London Music Club, a wonderful Ontario venue operated by a couple of genuine music lovers. Janice and Peter Denomme have converted a gorgeous heritage home into a restaurant/live music site that's one of the nicest we've seen anywhere. Check it out HERE.
London Free Press columnist James Reaney's blog review of our show read: "Paul Quarrington and the other Futures write songs about Sweet Daddy Siki, broken hearts, trains, Newfoundland disasters and just about everything else... Guest guitarist Teddy Leonard was so hot that Quarrington joked he thought he was in Zed Zed Top (nice to see it pronounced properly). Anyway, when they do come back, go! This might have been the gig of the year.
