The Haunted

THE HAUNTED
 
 
The Haunted  were a Canadian garage rock band from Montreal, Quebec.  The band was formed by Jurgen Peter (guitar) in 1965, and went on to release several records before finally disbanding in 1971.  They were among the first Canadian bands to achieve a level of success in their musical genre.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
 

 

Another great Canadian band (from Montreal), the Haunted had a fairly big hit that has the title “1-2-5”.  Their recorded output was prolific enough that Greg Shaw released two Haunted albums in the Rough Diamonds Series on Voxx Records; a CD called The Haunted has been released on Voxx more recently.  The last single by the Haunted is a French-language version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze”, called “Vapeur Mauve that is really something; the Voxx CD also includes “Pourquoi”, their French version of “Talk Talk” by the Music Machine
