Sudbury, Ontario-based band Aaron Space was formed in the late 1960s by guitarists Jake Thomas, Dave Moulaison, Gene Falbo, and Bob DiSalle.
While playing as a cover band, as was the custom at that time, they gradually began to write their own materials and send them to radio playlists. By 1970 they had settled in Toronto to take advantage of the larger crowd. Shortly after, Warner Brothers representative John Pozer met the band and signed a deal.
"Keep On Movin", released in the fall of 1971 with Lisa Garber as the backing vocals, received good reviews. The song peaked at number 83 on the Toronto radio list, where it stayed for 3 weeks. Their debut album, recorded in Toronto on Eastern Sound, was released early the following year.
Despite the successful advertising campaign, the album was not a huge commercial success, but many critics still praised the album as a whole. Moulaison's lead vocals and heavy riffs and fuzz guitars in "Silly Ceilings", "North Country Rock'n Roll" and "Man In A Yellow Car" laid the foundations of acid rock.
After a series of short tours in central Canada, plans were made for a second album, some songs were written and some time was spent in the studios. However, with Warner's deals on the verge of ending, the group disbanded and everyone moved on to individual projects. Falbo joined Jackson Hawke a few years later.
