I think American Standard were from New Jersey and part of the straight edge scene. This new club was in Little Italy in a basement level near a Blockbuster video and was later run by Jeff Cohen before becomng a gay club called El Convento Rico.

Jim Carroll did one of his spoken word performances. It felt like a member of a modern day beat movement which saw folks like Henry Rollins and Jello Biafra doing spoken word tours. Ths flyer is courtesy of the Noxious Art archives. Note the autograph by Jim Caroll on the flyer artwork.

This would have been one of the first times that Fire Hose played town and there was a lot of excitement about this show because the Minutemen had never played up here.  This flyer courtesy of the archives of Noxious Art.

This was a later period version of the band and may have been the period where the band co-existed with the Doughboys. Noxious Art made this flyer.

This was the first appearance in Toronto of the Henry Rollins group. It was the first year after Black Flag broke up and I remember Jill heath working the door. I didn't have enough money to get in and she let me in anyways. I wasn't sure what to expect and I think "Hot Animal Machine" was about to come out so that was the material performed at the show. I went to the matinee show. Circus Lupus were the band that morphed out of Mike Marley and the Sailors and would become Rocktopus after Jonathon Cummings moved to Montreal to join the Doughboys.

I remember giong to this show. At the time I had no idea that Dez Cadena had played in Black Flag prior to seeing the posters. I remember noticing that Dez did not look very punk, but that was also trye of other members of Black Flag so it wasn't really a surprise. The show took place in the back room at the Cameron House, which is the norm for this place.
