Connelly and Burns formed Apple Viper and was joined by Cat Smith, an American from the midwest. They decided to perform for real after taking it from a joke act of the sing-and-play-at-the-same-time variety to heavy Ontario bar circuit contenders as guaranteed crowd pullers.
They won second place in the Maxell Metallion Marathon. Their song "Goin' Fast" was used in a Leathershop TV commercial. They appeared in 1985 on CBC's 'Rock Wars' show and were finalists in Q107-FM's annual Homegrown contest. They also opened shows for Honeymoon Suite, Kick Axe, and Toronto.
Following the demise of Apple Viper, Cat Rood moved to Sacramento, California where she joined Lane King & The Fire Eaters. In the late '98's she released the first of two solo albums on CD.
