Crash & Burn, TORONTO, Canada. July 22 and 23, 1977. Not one, but two big nights.
February 22, 1976 we headed across the street from Steve Park's house on Forsyth St. North in HAMILTON, and into what is now called The McMaster Children's Hospital, for our first photo shoot.
It was never really a great shot, but so far it's the only picture we have of our first gig, October 17, 1975. This one came from the Westdale High School year book, which is where we played, in the "new" cafeteria they built on the ground floor courtyard
September 8, 1977 starting the new school year out in Scarberia with TEENAGE HEAD at Centennial College
