Winnipeg’s first all-girl punk band The Wurst and later played in the
legendary Winnipeg band The Ruggedy Annes. She is currently playing
with Gramma Lama.
London had the Sex Pistols, New York had the Ramones, but Toronto had a punk movement all its own. Six years in the making, this definitive epic traces the evolution of Toronto from small town to big city and its pop/counterculture lifestyle during the early and mid-70s. It centers on the first wave of Toronto punk rock and new wave music, from the Ramones playing The New Yorker Theatre in ‘76 to the police shutting down Teenag Head and causing a riot at the Horseshoe Tavern’s infamous “The Last Pogo” concert in December 1978.
