St. Valentine's Week Massacre

Flyer - Monday December 31, 1979

This show was recorded as a live record (Rock n Roll Ressurection) for Jayne County. The idea was to be the first recorded album for 1980. Tyranna were also able to get a recording out of it but only after Jayne County swapped out all the good recording mics. So much for helping out the scene. This was Tyranna's final show.

I think there were two flyers for this show. This would have been when the Gary's left the Horseshoe and started booking the Edge. The Suspects headlined and Tyranna opened up.

Cardboard Brains "The White" ep

The Cardboard Brains were a big part of the Queen Street art bands for the Toronto punk scene. The band featured

John Paul Young (vocals, keyboards)

Vincent Carlucci (guitar, vocals)

Richard Miller (drums)

Paul O'Connell (bass)

Patrick Gregory (bass, vocals; replaced O'Connell 1978)

Mickel Keena (drums; replaced Miller 1978)

John Thomas (bass; replaced Gregory 1979)

Dave Richardson (drums; replaced Keena 1979)

The band originally formed in 1977 and played places like The Edge and The Horseshoe Tavern and played with bands like the Viletones, Teenage Head and The Ugly. With several line-up changes the band continued developing its unique cross of King Crimson-inspired art-punk which led to the release of a 12" 1979's four song follow-up called 'The Black EP' -- which contained the 7" single as a free bonus. That same year the band would achieve its biggest claim to fame when they were immortalized on film and record for their performance as part of the 'The Last Pogo' movie and soundtrack recording.

The band reunited for the Edge's brief resurrection and anniversary celebration April 26, 1981. Recordings from this performance were released as a live album in 1982 before the band split up for good. Patrick Gregory went on to become a member of Woods Are Full Of Cuckoos and The Lawn; Vincent Carlucci would form Station Twang with Carl Tafel of Terraced Garden fame; John Paul Young is a successful actor in many Canadian television productions and has contributed to movie soundtracks such as 'The Gate'. He has since resurrected the Cardboard Brains on several occasions for club dates in Toronto, initially to coincide with the John Paul Young And Cardboard Brains 'best of' compilation CD, and then in 2000 as a prelude to a possible new Cardboard Brains recording project.
