Formed in Nelson, BC, in the late '60s, Crosstown Bus played high school dances, made a trip to California, and then settled in Vancouver. They were eventually signed to MCA Records and their debut album was produced by Tom Northcott and Greg Hambleton. They tasted a small bite of success in 1971 with the single "I'm Lost Without You" which made the Canadian Top100 at radio. After many line-up changes the band split up in 1974.
Ludwig would go on to an acclaimed career as keyboardist with Trooper, Union, Ironhorse, and Body Electric; Thornton would go on to replace Tim Bachman in B.T.O.; Boyne went on to join Hammersmith;
Henthorne became a commercial airline pilot most recently with BC Air.
