1ST PUNK CONCERT IN CANADA?
This show, presented by The Ontario College of Art in February 1977 made me decide Toronto was were we had to go to find a scene that Teenage Head would fit in. These bands were playing original music which was unheard of at the time. We eventually played the Colonial Underground downtown Toronto in April of the same year. The Viletones had opened up the club first. It was definitely DIY.
