16. Plan 9…I Like Girls….from the Dealing With The Dead release on Midnight Records from 1984.

23. Pandoras….You Don’t Satisfy….It was 4/19/1986 when The Pandoras played at Bullwinkles (formerly Kellys, later the appropriate Hard Times) and local scribe Robert Pegg had written an article for the London Free Press about The Pandoras and their novelty as an all girl combo. For some reason, loads of young women came out to see the band, and for some even odder reason, they all sat in front of the stage, where the so called dance floor was. Anybody that had been to Bullwinkles prior, would know that’s not a wise thing to do. Bullwinkles was housed in an ancient building (which still stands, but has large metal supports on its east wall to prevent collapse) which wasn’t the most sanitary. There would be the odd black sticky drip of goo that would fall from the ceiling…and if that shit got on you, good luck getting if off….LOL. Probably blood from the ghosts that haunted that relic of a building.
24. Das Clamps…..New Kind Of Fix…from their recent Shit Music For Shit People release on Dirty Water Records….Cramps tribute/worship 2 piece out of the UK.

Thanks for kicking the fledgling London Ontario punk rock scene in the balls by playing for 2 nights at Fryfogles back in November 1977! 6 weeks later and London’s first punk rock combo, The Demics appeared for their first ever show at Niederman’s loft!
29. Eddie and the Hot Rods….Quit This Town…. As above.
30. Eddie and the Hot Rods…..Teenage Depression….from the release of the same name and also from 1977.
31. The Inmates….Back On The Street….from their Five release and features Barrie Masters on vocals. RIP to Barrie!
