Mike Motor X Anderson of The Viletones & Secrets

Details are short at the moment but it just announced on Saturday Nov.24 that Mike Anderson (AKA Motor X) drummer for one of Toronto's classic punk bands The Viletones and the Secrets was found dead. The Viletones were probably the most notorious denizens of the Canadian Punk scene in late 1970's Toronto. After a short and violent career in which they managed to find time between drunken brawls to record an album with a few classic songs such as "Screaming Fist", "Danger Boy" and "Possibilities". Later the chronically unstable Viletones quit out from under manic singer Steve Leckie (AKA Nazi Dog) and formed a new band, The Secrets, who would also record a good album and appear in the "Last Pogo" film before they two broke up. Motor X would then go on to play in Arson and The G-Rays.
