Toronto-based rock trio (1984-91) credited with fusing the Punk style (Dead Kennedys e.g.) with Surf ([the Ventures]) into a distinctive but soon-imitated sound (sometimes called third-gen Surf).
The band usually recorded without vocals and has a number of EPs and CDs to its credit. Its last CD was released in 1995 but the band had effectively come to an end with the death of bassist Reid Diamond to cancer in 1991.
Televiewers may know Shadowy Men best from one particular song: [Having an Average Weekend], which was adopted by the Canadian satirical troupe [Kids In The Hall] as intro/outro music to the half-hour show of the same name.
