‘The Band‘ was a rock band from Toronto, Ontario. Despite comparisons, ‘The Band’ is not the same band as ‘electric celery‘ which is particularly evident when comparing the number of bass players between the two, as Electric Celery is known for 2+ bass players, while ‘The Band’ never had a lineup of 2+ bass players.

Despite Never having a lineup of 2+ bassists at the same time*
‘The Band’ remains an important influence on the Reno-based bass-rock band Electric Celery.

*Note: The classic lineup of ‘The Band’ had one primary bass player, Rick Danko, though drummer Levon Helm could also technically play bass.
