Kensington Market

Around for only two years in the late '60s, Kensington Market consisted of Alex Darou, Luke Gibson, Eugene Martynec, Keith McKie, John Mills-Cockell and Jimmy Watson. The Toronto band recorded several singles before their debut album Avenue Road appeared in 1968. A varied sound and excellent songwriting made the LP one of the best Canadian efforts of the decade, though Kensington Market broke up just after the release of 1969's Aardvark. ~ John Bush
