The Pursuit Of Happiness and The Parachute Club will be inducted into the Indies Hall Of Fame during the Canadian Independent Music Awards as part of Canadian Music Week on March 1.
The Indies Hall Of Fame was established last year to acknowledge individuals and bands who've made significant contributions to the Canadian music industry and to the advancement of Canadian artists. The first two inductees were Martha & The Muffins and D.O.A..
The Pursuit Of Happiness, who just released their When We Ruled greatest hits package, formed back in the mid-'80s. Their biggest hit was the independently produced �I�m An Adult Now,� which was selected as one of Chart�s top 50 Canadian songs of all time. After that indie breakthrough, the band signed deals with Chrysalis Records and EMI Music Publishing. The Moe Berg-fronted group released five albums before taking an extended hiatus. They reunited this year and have been touring to support When We Ruled.
The Parachute Club released their three albums on Canadian indie label, Current Records, starting with their 1983 self-titled debut. The four-time Juno Award winners are best known for their smash �Rise Up.� The group reformed this year and have been performing and writing new material.
The nominees for the 25 Indie awards haven't yet been announced.
