Tonight's show is part of a series on the early Toronto hardcore scene named after the book "Tomorrow is Too Late". Tonight we look at one of Toronto's second wave promoters - Don Lebeuf, better known as Reuben Kincaide Productions.
His primary responsibility was to help HYPE. But soon he took NEGATIVE GAIN under his wing. And then the RHYTHM PIGS adopted him as their tour manager.
He brought so many great bands to town. And he gave so many local bands a chance to play.
Unlike other cities where there was a love/hate relationship with promoters, there was only love for Don. So much so that when he took a bath on the Brigade show, bands rallied and put together a fundraiser. Unheard of.
He became a regular contributor to Pirates of Doom fanzine with a regular column called Reuben's Ramblings. He also contributed to One Solution and Maximumrocknroll (Berkeley).
He had a lot of stories about bands, the scene and how things evolved in the scene.
