HOME FRONT, Canada’s band, return to Toront
o May 16th!
Has there been a band that more perfectly captures that
post-pandemic ennui than HOME FRONT? We’ve never been shy to show our lov
e for our fellow Canucks. And their second full length, “Watch it Die,” on
ce again highlights their uncanny ability to craft meaningful music that i
s incredibly catchy. Songs indebted to their deep love for punk’s past, th
at so beautifully captures how we’re feeling today. You’re born alone. You
die alone. You don’t have to live alone.
They’re joined by fellow
Western Canadian maniacs BOOTLICKER. A band whose speed is only matched by
their ability to write a sick riff.
And you’ll find us, back at th
e East End United Church for an all ages affair.

SACRIFICE, Thrash Metal Legends from Tokyo, are coming to Toronto for the first time ever this May!
SACRIFICE's debut LP, "Crest of Black," is a monument of the 80s Tokyo Underground. A n LP stacked with evil riff after evil riff, known well to any true schola r of the depths of thrash. With the re release of the previously obscure " Total Steel" and "Tears" LPs, SACRIFICE has continued to meet their notori ety with sold out shows in New York and California... and now, Toronto and Montreal.
They're joined for the dates by some true blood HCPMF in Richmond's PUBLIC ACID, perhaps the greatest hardcore punk crossover band of the modern era. Their "Deadly Struggle" LP a masterclass of manic riffe ry.
Support is provided by our own HCPM legend Joel Fisher and the A BSOLUTs, death metal gang COPROLITH and Ottawa's D-Beat crew ZEAL.
T he Hardcore Punk Metal Freak Gig of the year is here. Pose and die. You're welcome.

Where the Goose Landed is a solo p hotography exhibition and photozine launch by Erjin Liu, developed since 2 025, and featuring selected works created over the past several years. As distinct national imagery, the presence of Canada geese is iconic and symb olic. It’s a soft metaphor for what it means to seek places, to land somew here unknown and call it your own.
By situating personal narratives within broader cultural symbols, Where the Goose Landed raises qu estions central to contemporary Canadian identity while offering the audie nce an open and affective space to sit with ambiguity and sensation.

We love DARK THOUGHTS. If you've been fo
llowing us for any period of time, you know this. Pitch perfect, spiritual
RAMONES worship. Songs about love, and nonsense, played lock-tight, downs
trokes only. Among our favourite contemporary bands.
We haven't had
a DARK THOUGHTS headliner in a while, so we figured why not do it special
-style and throw it at the EAGLES AERIE 2311, a hall located on Elm Street
, mere steps from Yonge and Dundas. Yup, you read that right.

Gerard Malanga worked closely for A
ndy Warhol during the artist’s most creative period, from 1963 to 1970. Th
e New York Times referred to him as “Andy Warhol’s most important associat
e.”
After being introduced by a friend, Warhol hired Gerar
d because of his previous experiences in silkscreening. Gerard eventually
left college, and as he said, started “a summer job that last seven years.
” On his first day of working with Warhol, they created the iconic E
lizabeth Taylor paintings.
Malanga was heavily involved in Warhol’s filmmaking. Warhol’s famous three-minute “screen tests” stemmed from Gerar d’s idea of creating a publicity photo of himself using movie film. Warhol and Malanga went on to create 500 screen tests of some of the most famous and unknown visitors to The Silver Factory. Malanga was active in many of the early Warhol films, including Chelsea Girls (1966) ; and co-produced Bufferin (1967) in which he reads his poetry, deemed to be the longest spoken-word movie on record at 33-minute s nonstop.
In 1966, Malanga became a creative collaborator and choreographer with the legendary rock group Velvet Underground, part of W arhol’s multimedia presentation, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
In 1969, Malanga was one of the founding editors of Interview magazin e, along with Warhol and John Wilcock.
In December 1970, Malan ga left Warhol’s studio to pursue his work in poetry and photography. ;
A lifelong poet, he's been publishing his acclaimed poetry fo
r decades. He was already a published poet before he went to work for
Andy Warhol in 1963. Gerard writes poetry every day of his life. He’s the
author of over a dozen books of poetry spanning a 50-year period, includi
ng 2019’s “Cool and other things" (Bottle of Smoke Pres
s). In June 2024, he published his latest book of poetry called
"Odie is Being Called Back & Other Poems" (Bottle of Smoke Press)
. He is the co-author (with Victor Bockris) of Up-Tight: The Velvet Underg
round Story. Malanga recently completed his memoirs, In Remembran
ce of Things Past. His work has appeared in Poetry, Yal
e Review, Harvard Review, Paris Review, Raritan, Partisan Review
;and The New Yorker. In 2014, he was named the Official Poet
of the annual Glasgow Arts International. In 2024, Gerard was named
a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the Fre
nch Ministry of Culture.
THE FLOWERS OF HELL is a Lou Reed-approved London/Toronto experimental ensemble that plays th
e Velvet Underground. It will accompany Gerard Malanga’s film “Andy W
arhol: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” (1964).
