Barefoot Hockey Goalie is a rock band started in 1993 and still active as of 2020. They have released three rock operas, the first one about a Canadian youth born with grotesquely large feet who finds success as a hockey player through many trials and tribulations. This 7 song opera provides the anchor for the live performance and sets the tone for the rest of the catalog, many songs of which rely on a bit of performance art in the way of prop and/or costume. Guitarist Toe Knee Paderelli and Vocalist Blair Hatch began as a two piece, performing Darius wherever adventurous bookers would allow them to, becoming a four piece when possible and then permanently. Original drummer Danny Heifetz is still on a roster that through the years has sent different lines out on the ice. Accretions Records produced Darius, A Rock Opera and Selected Short Stories in 1995 and Fediks Butcher Shop in 1997. The band has self released, through Ouch! Productions, An Interview with Thomas Edison, in 2001 and Kid Champion, a Faustian tale about a washed up boxer, in 2004. They are currently working on their 4th rock opera, Clairemont, about suburban pride and late life comebacks.
