i guess that's ok because I thought you were going to be predictable and say Uranus or One Eyed God Prophecy were better. (Both great bands as well).

People should check out 30 Second Motion Picture and Three Penny Opera - both from the ashes of Shotmaker. I think The Grey may have ex Shotmaker as well.

Shotmaker came far before Union Young America and was so completely different than anything else around... I love both bands but my vote goes to Shotmaker.
What all did Three Penny Opera release?

As far as I'm aware they have only released a LP and one 7".

i toured with three penny opera once....there were really good, although i honestly wouldn't call them the most friendly band i ever met........ ....i do believe threepenny had more than just 1 LP and a 7" ....they definitely had more 7"....at least enough to fill another full album...check out, countless trips from here to there.

If someone can list three Penny Opera's entire discography that would be great.

check the last line.....i know i have about 13 songs that are not on the LP.


______________________________________

Ottawa’s Three Penny Opera started in early spring of 1997 in the basement of Adam and Hayden Menzies (who are identical twins, born two and a half years apart). Rounding out the band were Shawn Stapleton and Brian Martin. At this point Three Penny Opera were one player short of a hockey team and had several instrumentals in the can. They ran into Matt Deline (ex-Shotmaker, ex-30 Second Motion Picture) at a basement punk show and asked him to sing (and play nets). This was during the waning of 30 Second Motion Picture and Matt was a little unsure of starting something new. In the end everything worked out quite nicely. Three Penny Opera’s first match was on May 24th 1997 in Quebec City where they lost a close game to hometown favorites Fifth Hour Hero. Their first home game saw them defeat Chicago’s Braid, 5-2. Since then, Three Penny Opera’s 1986 GMC Vandura 2500 has traveled over 40,000 kilometres and the band has played 82 shows and 213 street hockey games. 3PO have replaced virtually every major part of the van except for the engine itself. They have also gone through three bass players. Brian Martin returned to the band on a free agent deal in the first round of the 1998 draft. Besides the two spectrasonicsound releases, two songs from countless trips appear on District Skateboards No Time To Heal video.

Do you think you could send me their "Countless trips from here to there" release?

The t-dt-b site lists both Spectrasonic releases as well as the LP, but the only 7" is the one released on Spectrasonic. Do you know what releases aren't listed?

I confirm that Shawn S. is mentionned on the insert of the 7" as playing guitar. Certainly more a guest than a full time member
If it's not S. for scallen, what does it stands for?

cheers

here's the link to some artwork Shawn Scallen did

By the way, what band were you in? I feel like you mentioned it before, but i can't remember..
