The Enthusiasts are a Canadian garage rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, active from 1963 to 1972. considered one of the most influential underground Canadian Rock groups of the 20th Century, the band's style paved the way for the first waves of Canadian Punk Rock and Art Rock. The Enthusiasts are considered pioneers of Indie Rock as well. while the band saw little mainstream success outside of their native Canada, their influence on later music scenes would be tremendous, especially during the 1980s. The Band has been disbanded since early 1972, although they briefly united for a short Canadian tour in 1984. Currently there are no plans for any further Enthusiasts reunions.
