Flyer - Saturday September 17, 1977


This was a famous show in Toronto's punk past. It happened at the Masonic Temple which was a big deal for a punk show to happen there. Gary "Pig" Gold sent us these after hearing the interview we did with the Battered Wives. This was a piece we didn't cover in their interview. Thanks Gary.
