Young rock band an easy fit for Peel Region drummer cop




When Peel police we were called to a backyard party and rock session Saturday in Mississauga the teen band Vinyl Ambush feared the worst. But after discussing the noise complaint, a certain PC Clark got a hankering to play a set on the drums. He and his partner negotiated a curfew of 9 p.m. with the band. They left but shortly after Clark and his buddy returned to the home. Clark asked drummer Jack Laing if he could have a go. The result is the video on the left. The newly-formed band was in the yard to play at a birthday for the father of one of the band members. The arrival of the police made the young musicians nervous at first. “I dropped my guitar, put it down and moved away,” the band’s guitarist Pedro Alvarado told CityNews. “I thought he was going to give us a ticket or something for being loud, but then he said ‘rock on.’” “He played perfectly all the way through,” said lead singer Belle Matthews. “It was amazing, I was astounded” “I’ll probably remember this for the rest of my life,” bassist Corwin Bjelic told City.
