Rio Static?

Some Bay Street type guy was staring at me on the subway this morning and when I went to get off at my stop he asked "are you the guy from Rio Static?" To which I replied "Stop coming on to me", no I didn't I just said no I'm not and he told me I looked just like the guy. At least I think he said Rio Static. Does anyone know if that's a band or Brazilian soap opera?

Thanks Mme. Rouge - So they're a band and trey're called Rheo Statics...
Maybe the guy second from the left?

He better be good-looking otherwise the train guy needs a slap across the face.

I saw them once. Edgefest '94 in the old Ontario Place Forum (torn down the next year. I still miss it)

Dave is the guy to the right of you.

Their most memorable song was 'Claire'. It's #61 on the TOP 100 CANADIAN SINGLES OF ALL TIME

Claire may be memorable but I'm not sure it makes my top ten

I don't really think he looks like you. But how obscure a band is that to actually make reference to a stranger about? He was soooo coming on to you.

"Excuse me, but has anyone ever told you how much you look like the Rheostatics guy? No? Shocking. Come to my apartment so I can tell you more. I'll slip you some roofies while you admire my shrine."

LUCKY!
