}}The Romaniacs was a Canadian rock band based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their music combined Eastern European, Gypsy jazz, and pop.[1] They made extensive use of costumes and props, including a large map, during their live shows.[2]

History

The Romaniacs formed in 1984. They performed at first in clubs and small venues, telling an invented story of thei ethnic history of the band members.[3][4][5]

The band toured extensively in Canada and the United States.[6][7] The group also toured Australia in 1988, including a week-long appearance at the Canada Pavilion during the World's Fair in Brisbane. That year they released their first album, World on Fire.[8]

In 1990 the band contributed the song "Ecstasy of the Martyr" to the compilation album Polka Comes to Your Haus.[9]

The Romaniacs disbanded in 1995.
