Urban Shocker
Doyenne
I went when it still was a strip joint which would have been 1983 or 1984. It changed into a music venue soon after. It was a very down market strip joint. Nothing sexy about it but the drinks were cheap.
Did the earliest lineup of Blue Rodeo ever play there? I saw them in a club waaaaay back in the mid-80s, and I'm pretty sure it was that location. They certainly weren't at all well known at the time, nobody made a fuss of them, and I couldn't believe anyone local would play that sort of music. Now Jim Cuddy and his family live in a big house at the fancy end of my street ... and I'm in my hovel-like Winter Palace at the other end.
