Formed in 1976 in London, Ontario, Uranus were originally called Cheeseburger Deluxe. They swiftly made a name for themselves in southern Ontario and other parts of Canada with their successful single "You're So Square". They released an album, produced by Ross Munro, featuring mostly cover tunes by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly and Bob Dylan. There were also four original tunes including the 'Ballad Of Gilligan's Isle' played to the tune of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway To Heaven". After the release of their 'You're So Square' album they toured western Canada and appeared on the Terry David Mulligan Show. At the height of their popularity they were attracting a teeny-bopper and biker audience and still playing dives around the country. Realizing that the music industry was not going to offer them much else for the foreseeable future, the band split up. Whiteside and Ridsdale would later go on to The Sci Phonics and both returned home to London, Ontario; Fletcher was playing with the Georgette Fry Blues Band.
