Doug and the Slugs carved out a unique spot in the North American music scene after first appearing in Vancouver BC in 1977. Too polished to be punk and too irreverent to be slick radio rock and roll, they quickly became hometown favourites. Through a hard-won, rigorous touring schedule, a bar band suddenly found themselves Gold record holders, seemingly beloved from tot to pensioner - a career trajectory almost unheard of today. With a sense of humour never too far from their approach, it thrust lead singer Doug Bennett to become the clown prince of Canadian rock and roll. But there was a price to be paid, which ultimately questioned the very nature of success. Featuring never before published photos, posters, personal diaries, ticket stubs, and Slugs music ephemera, Real Enough is at its heart a celebration of Doug and the Slugs, their music, memories, the ups and downs of lifelong friends, who - as a group of musicians after a lifetime of playing together - still make for a good night out.
