The Government was a short-lived musical group from the late 1970s in the Toronto area. They realeased a 4-song record in 1979, featuring songs like "Zippers Of Fire", "Flat Tire" and "Hemingway Hated Disco Music". They had a couple of follow-up albums, but these didn't really go anywhere. Unfortunately, as of today, it is virtually impossible to get hold of any music from this outfit. A member of their group, drummer Billy Bryans, did go on to become a member of the better-known band Parachute Club in the early 1980s.
