Drummer Ross Hales, bassist Rachel Melas, and keyboardist/singer Elizabeth Fisher all came together in Vancouver around 1980 to form a group they named Animal Slaves. The band offered pop/rock music that didn't completely fit the pop mold with its unusual dash of funk and jazz. The threesome did shows in both Canada and the United States, earning a small fan base in each country. In 1986 Animal Slaves recorded an independent cassette, Secret Sharper, to sell at shows.
These are photos from concerts where Animal Slaves played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
