The Happy Medium was a local
rock band that played in Winnipeg in 1967
and 1968. Members were Andy Stout,
Doug Stout, Michael Costello, Matt Moche,
Ken Vickets, and Peter Munsters.
The highlight for the band was playing on
the steps of the Legislative building in
front of 25,000 young people on the day of
the "Miles for Millions March" in 1968.
The band played at community centres,
CYOs, high schools, the Guilded Cage, and
the Hungry I. After high school,
they disbanded in 1968.
Their predecessor band was The Never BeFour,
composed of Doug, Matt, Michael and
Ken. They played local dances in
1965 and 1966. Andy and Peter had
previously played with the band Cloud 9.
The band had a reunion in 1999, before the
passing of Doug and Peter. The
remaining members live across Western
Canada and are still in touch.
