DOA - Communication Breakdown (Sudden Death)

But we are going to start things off with a tribute to Frederick Nathanial Hibbert, better known as Toots Hibbert, singer for Toots and the Maytals. “Toots” passed away last Saturday which is a week ago from air time but only a few days when we started producing this show. And tributes galore have been aired on radio shows for this soulful ball of energy of a singer that started out in the ska era and coined the next incarnation with his song “Do the Reggae”. Why are we eulogizing a reggae artist on a Punk show? Because Toots had an impact on the early punk artists like the Clash. I got to see Toots at the Concert Hall and it was insane as the 60 year old he jumped from start to finish in rude boy style. And he was still performing at the time of his sudden illness. I am going to start out with a song that everyone has been playing. This is Pressure Drop as covered by the Clash on “Black Market Clash”.

Bruce La Bruce is an important name in the Toronto hardcore scene. He is mostly known for his filmaking. He was one of the first people to mix hardcore punk with LGBTQ footage. One film constantly referred to is “No Skin Off My Ass”. When he was first learning his craft he hung out and lived with FIFTH COLUMN and became a go go dancer for them and appeared on some of their recordings like “The Fairview Mall Story” which will feature in this interview. He did a zine called J.D.'s. He played drums in ZuZu’s Petals. He helped coin the term “Homocore”. He wrote a LGBTQ manifesto called “Don’t be Gay” that appeared in April issue of Maximumrocknroll in 1989. He did many films featuring some amazing people in the hardcore scene. In an interview that we did in 2018 for the book “Tomorrow is Too Late” Bruce takes us through the back stories of all these projects and fills us in on a whole lot more about the punk scene back then. This is the latest installment in the feature series on the early hardcore scene in Toronto called “Tomorrow is Too Late” with a look into Bruce La Bruce. Download and MP3 here.
