Gord Lewis
Gord Lewis is a Canadian musician from Hamilton, Ontario best known as the founding guitarist of Teenage Head, a popular Canadian punk rock band during the early 1980s. Lewis named the band after a Flamin' Groovies song.
Gord Lewis formed Teenage Head along with Westdale High School in Hamilton along with Frankie Venom, Steve Mahon, and Nick Stipanitz.
In September 1980, Attic Records, the band's Canadian label, set up a series of showcase gigs in New York City, hoping to attract a U.S. record deal. Only a few days before their scheduled departure, Lewis was seriously injured in a car accident and the showcase was cancelled. Lewis was temporarily replaced by David Bendeth, although he was able to return in time to play on the 1982 album Some Kinda Fun.Discography
