Major Hoople's Boarding House

The Shan-De-Leers was a pop band from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, which included Rocky Howell, Peter Padalino, Gail Selkirk, Dave Lodge and Rick Riddell.[1] It was later renamed Major Hoople's Boarding House after they hired David Lodge in 1967. The group was named after the long-running comic strip, Our Boarding House. Riddell and Selkirk left the band in 1972 and were replaced by Ed Miller and Peter Beacock. Lodge left the band to concentrate on songwriting and management in 1973 and he was replaced by Keith Stahlbaum. In 1975, Dave Gooding was added on saxophone.[2]

They performed in the club circuit around Ontario for many years, signed with Axe Records and had a top-30 Canadian radio hit in 1975 with "I'm Running After You".[3]

The band was known as simply Boarding House after James Leroy was added in 1976.

In 1988, a version was created with Howell leading. The band ended shortly after.
