Cheetah Chrome tribute (Stephen)
Another giant in the punk scene fell this week, Cheetah Chrome, guitarist from the Dead Boys. I got to meet him once thanks to the efforts of Cleave Anderson. Cleave and Cheetah were friends. Cheetah used to stay at the Tyranna house when the Dead Boys were in town back in the day. The Dead Boys played Toronto so much that they were considered a local band. I was looking back at how many times they played Toronto in the early days

2 nights at the New Yorker on Friday June 17 and Saturday June 18th, 1977 opening up for the Ramones
2 nights at the Crash ‘n Burn on Friday August 5th and Saturday August 6th, 1977 with the Diodes
2 nights at the New Yorker on Friday October 14 and Saturday October 15th, 1977 with the Viletones and the Poles
Saturday August 5, 1978 at the Horseshoe with Arson and the Demics
2 nights at the Horseshoe between Saturday September 22 and Sunday September 23th, 1979 with the New Ugly line up and the Forgotten Rebels
3 nights at the Rock Palace (Lee’s) between Thursday October 25 and Saturday October 27th, 1979 with the Androids and Zro4

In 2008, the Screwed were recording with Cheetah in Toronto. They convinced Cheetah to come in to the radio station. We were on St George Street and we could just use that basement studio whenever we wanted so that worked with their schedule. I have a short set paying tribute to Cheetah Chrome starting off with his first band

ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS - Search and Destroy (Smog Veil)
DEAD BOYS - Down in Flames (Sire)
THE SCREWED WITH CHEETAH CHROME - Sonic Reducer (CIUT) -

AC DC cover for the cancellation (Stephen)
AC DC were supposed to play Toronto on September 16th. The show was cancelled. It was in an outdoor stadium. The stadium had sustained some damages and the promoters weren’t going to be able to get them fixed in time. Andre had tickets and was upset because they will probably never come back here. And while that reality is setting in I thought punk bands love AC DC. Why not celebrate them. Here’s some bands covering Acca Dacca starting out with Angry Samoans and their cover of Highway to Hell.
