John Brower writes about this show in his first book about Heatwave trilogy saying

"Jim Piatro was the promoter for this show, but a week before Jimmy landed himself in the Don Jail for a few months and Brower was left to handle the concert. The Hot Rods didm't draw flies and Teenage Head had not become huge yet. Eddie had been paid half his fee in advance but Gary Kurfirst who was managing the band at the time demanded the rest of the money or he wouldn't let the boys go on stage. There weren't a lot of people at the show, but it was Halloween and many were in costume expecting a party. Brower and Kurtfirst argued in the box office while stagehands and clean-up crews waited outside to learn the outcome. Kurfirst won. There wasn't much choice for Brower, so Hot Rods renamed the Shit Boxes by Brower, got all their money and the stagehands, the cleaners, and Teenage Head got none. But the show went on and Brower paid the others personally a week later."

This was a famous show in Toronto's punk past. It happened at the Masonic Temple which was a big deal for a punk show to happen there. Gary "Pig" Gold sent us these after hearing the interview we did with the Battered Wives. This was a piece we didn't cover in their interview. Thanks Gary.
