Bootsauce was conceived in 1989 when Drew Ling and Pere Fume hooked up with Sonny Greenwich, Jr. after they all met by chance in future manager, Steven Shipp's office.
The first album called 'The Brown Album' spawned two hits in "Play With Me" and the remake of Hot Chocolate's "Everyone's A Winner". The first tune won a MuchMusic Video Award and the second won them a Juno.
Ian Astbury of The Cult saw them and was so impressed, they were asked to tour England with The Cult.
'Sleeping Bootie' didn't reach the gold sales mark like the first two mostly do to the label's under-promotion in light of managerial and band member problems.
During the recording of 'Bootsauce', founding member Pere Fume left in a dispute with the handling of the band's career by the record label. (Fume returned to his given name and formed Toronto band Fonzi). During the recording of the album they picked up Exploited guitarist Fraser Rosetti who were recording at the same studio in England.
Polygram released a greatest hits album shortly after the band's demise in 1996.
