The Last Pogo Jumps Again

Yuppers.  Three years ago today we started shooting our feature documentary The Last Pogo Jumps Again.  We’ve amassed a hundred plus hours of interviews; secured yards of rare footage of the “never before seen” variety; and have jammed our external drives with tons ‘o’ jpgs.   We’ve captured a dozen or so sets of old-school bands from the back in the day, and watched as our hard-drive collapsed in a fit and die on the floor.  The Last Pogo Jumps Again survived, and will be released sometime when we’re about four or so.

Co-director Kire Paputts is hard at it, piecing together all the stuff and trying to make sense (or not) of it.  Co-director Aldo Erdic is finding bits of time between shooting his own stuff to compile the many hours of footage he has, the goldmine being the pile of stuff he’s shot of Greg Dicks‘ interviews on CIUT-FM’s Equalizing Distort series:  Viletones, Ugly, Mods, Zero4, Teenage Head, and a screwy let’s-bail-before it gets any worse debacle with The Scenics.

Co-director Brunton is focusing on getting the last interviews, and flogging The Last Pogo dvd (only three cartons left people!  Hurry up and order already!)  We’re also trying to get our hands on some pretty awesome footage holed up in the archives of the CBC and MuchMusic;  stuff we’re sure you’ve seen on your Internet Machine — but that would be great to see, y’know, full screen and only second-generation.  At a hundred bucks a second, it’s a little intimidating, but we’re doing our best dripping honey in The Man‘s ear, hoping to catch a break.

Make sure you hit The Ugly, The Mods, The Superstitions and DJ OPP tonight, and keep on keepin’ on.

In the late seventies, being the only punk in Calgary (although he’d find out later there was this other guy called Warren Kinsella skulking around the south side) made Steve Koch feel as though people thought he was either (a) dangerous, (b) developmentally challenged, or, most likely (c) a little bit of both.

He sent a fan letter to New Rose in Toronto, the punk music and clothing store run by Margarita Passion and (original Viletones guitarist) Freddy Pompeii, and asked for a copy of the single by this new Toronto band called The Viletones.

Punk records were hard to find in Calgary, but if they did surface, were usually found in the “delete” section, so as far and few between as they were, they were at least cheap.  But there just weren’t enough for Calgary’s Only Punk, and Calgary was…well…Calgary, and hence the letter.   Don Pyle, all of fifteen or so, wrote him back.  (Don, of course, besides being a great photographer and cool dude, would later form Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and continues to make music, art, and produce for other people.  He spent a lot of his formative years hanging out at New Rose.)   Don mistakenly addressed the letter to one John Koch, who didn’t exist at the Calgary Koch residence, and so the letter sat on the stoop for a few weeks until a curious Steve held it up to a light, saw that it contained… a paper airplane, and decided to open it up.  And that was the start of a friendship that continues to this day.

So it was that in ’78 that Steve Koch decided to get the fuck out of Dodge, and after a non-stop seventy-hour drive, he and a couple of buds arrived on the doorstep of Don Pyle, who, with parents conveniently out for the night, let them crash on the couch and floor.   The next thing ya know, Steve and Don form Crash Kills Nine, and after giving that name to the late Reid Diamond (on the condition the number changed;  it did, and became Crash Kills Five) Steve auditioned as the new guitar-slinger for The Viletones, and won them over with his take on the Dead Boys’ classic Sonic Reducer.   Quickly earning a rep as one of Toronto’s better players, Steve would later play with Handsome Ned, The Demics and lots more, and has continued to bang out music on a regular basis, currently as a member of both The Screwed and the 2009 version of The Ugly.

Any last words on punk rock?

“Buy the CD.”

And parting advise for any aspiring punks?

“Don’t buy the CD.”  BAM!

We got to hear (and record) all these stories over a couple of hours on a sunny Saturday afternoon, with Tea and Sympathy (coffee and an ashtray) provided by Steve’s wife Max (no, she’s not a dude, dude, she’s all woman, as in va va va voom) — and a half-dozen scrapbooks dating back to ’76 provided by photographer Ross Taylor, who’s continued to photograph all things punk for over thirty years now.  (Awesome collection, Ross;  good work!)

Back in the seventies Ross was a member of Cheap Thrills, the ticket subscription thingy that for a yearly fee gave him fifth row centre seats at the old cavernous and smoky Maple Leaf Gardens, and so Ross went to everything.   As Steve turned the scrapbook pages on prog-rockers and sixties relics that frankly are too embarrassing to mention (although Pogo director Brunton owned up to once being a fan of Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd — did anyone not go to see that show in Hamilton in ’75? — and Yes) you could see on the yellowed brittle pages how it all changed around ’76, the pages getting jammed with the likes of Ramones, Dead Boys, Iggy Pop, New York Dolls, Dictators, Lou Reed — and loads on Toronto’s own nasty darlings, The Viletones.

You can catch Steve playing with The Screwed every other week or so, and on June 6th head down to Sneaky Dee’s in Toronto where he’ll by playing as a member of The Ugly, with original members Sam Ferrara and Tony Torture, and Greg Dick filling in for the late great Mike Nightmare.   Get a sneak preview of what these guys sound like by tuning into CIUT-FM on Sunday, May 31 at 10:00 where they’ll play a couple of tunes, and then sit down for a chat.

Sharing the bill at Sneaky Dee’s will be another of the original Toronto punkers, The Mods, sporting the same line-up, same tunes, and same sharp sartorial stylings as they did thirty years ago.  And if that ain’t enough, a new band (who Dick says are great) called The Superstitions open the show.   And if you’re still not convinced, in between bands and beers be treated to old-skool tunes spun by D.J. O.P.P., a.k.a. Peter Genest, the legally beleagured owner of Hits ‘n’ Misses.

After two and a half years of shooting, we finally finished principal photography on THE LAST POGO JUMPS AGAIN by taking our swat-team of a shooting crew down to our old haunt, The Horseshoe Tavern, and shooting The Last Pogo 30th Anniversary Bash.

We’ve still got some interviews we need to do — you know who you are! — but we’re finally moving into post-production on our feature film.   There’s so many people to thank for all their devotion and hard work, that we’d rather wait for another to day to thank them all, because we know some are going to slip our mind.   But this thing would never have happened without the support and encouragement of all the kids from back in the day, and we never would’ve gotten anything shot without the tireless devotion of co-directors Aldo Erdic and Kire Paputts;  the backbone and smarts and heart of David Quinton Steinberg and Gary Topp;  and the support of everyone who’ve given us jpgs and film-clips and interviews and shared thier stories;  who’ve connected the dots, dotted their i’s and croosed their t’s.   We’ll save the credits for the movie.

The Last Pogo 30th Anniversary Bash was great fun and a non-stop party.  There’s not too many shows we can recall where you announce a nine o’clock start time — and there’s 450 people waiting in line at 9:00.   When the doors opened, the place was packed, and our 16mm camera caught the first couple of hundred faces, both familiar and fresh, as they filed into the old haunt.

Each band stuck to the strict twenty-minute set, and it was truly without flaws — except for Moog Audio on Queen West who completely dropped the ball by neglecting to drop off the turntables and mixer for D.J. OPP.   After some desperate phone calls to other, more reliable businesses, Gary Topp called daughter (and member of Steven Leckie and the Solutions!) Alex, and she dug around Garys home office and sent down some mix CDs that were used to fill the gaps between bands.  Mixes by Topp can’t be topped.

Ever since the Original 99 Cent Roxy Theatre, Gary has created tapes specifically for each show, whether it be a night of movies or a line-up of bands.  At the The Original 99 Cent Roxy, and later the New Yorker Theatre, the music before movies was played at the right volume, which usually meant “loud” but not always cranked up to eleven.   On the rare occasion (a couple of times a month) someone complained about the volume, it was “Sorry, you can have your money back if you want, but we like to play our music loud.”   “But I can’t even have a conversation!” they’d protest.    “Well…maybe you should go to another movie theatre then.”    After spending the last week planning out his evening, and rounding up over a 100 vintage 45s, Hits ‘n’ Misses owner DJ OPP realized it just wasn’t gonna happen, so he cabbed it back to his store, stashed his prize 45s, and came back to the Horseshoe where he vented his frustration in an interview in the men’s room.

While the bands were playing, Directors Brunton and Paputts were either outside getting shots, or down around the dressing room, luring people into the Men’s Can (quiet, nice light, interesting ambience) for impromptu interviews.   Caught with their pants down were:  The Ugly’s Tony Torture, DJ OPP, The Mods’ Greg Trinier, The Cardboard Brains’ Vince Carlucci, The Screwed’s John Borra, The Scenics’ Mike Young, and the Forgotten Rebels’ Mickey de Sadist — who we coerced into apologizing to everyone he dissed on camera in the original Last Pogo movie — and various others, including an impromptu “Everyone get outa here!” rant by The Wads’ and Dick Duck and the Dorks’ Paul Ecknes.  And we shot the gradual evolution of the towel machine throughout the night (starts intact; then bunching up on floor;  then completely on floor, in pool of mystery fluid.)

The bulk of the shooting at Last Pogo Jumps Again was handled by director Aldo Erdic and his three other shooters, covering the bands’ performances.   A generation in-between co-directors Kire Paputts and Colin Brunton, Aldo’s company To Be Scene has shot literally hundreds of hours in the past few years for a ton of bands — and a truckload of goodies for The Last Pogo Jumps Again.

For all you film/tv techno geeks out there, we had four small Sony HD cameras covering the bands’ performances; a sound guy hooked into the sound board;  ambient sound from audience cameras;  for old-times’ sake, a 16mm Bolex camera worth about twenty minutes of Kodak Vision 2 footage; the workhorse Panasonic DVX 100A  MiniDV; a Sennehauser Wireless mike;   125 Watt Pocket Par portable light, with a chimera, filters, and three commando-style battery belts.  Total cooperation and buckets of sweat.  Three people shooting interviews, four people shooting the bands (not to mention the footage we’ve already been offered by audience), and lots of friends in the audience who would’ve helped out if called upon for duty.  There’s a lot of punks in TV and film.

Zero of ZR04 opened the show with an upbeat and “lets get to it” intro to the show by dedicating it to Teenage Head’s Frankie Venom, The Ugly’s Mike Nightmare, ZR0$’s Tony Brighton, and Ruby Teases and opening band Cardboard Brains.  Guitarist Vince Carlucci gave a shout-out to M.I.A. lead singer John Paul Young, and fill-in singer Sandy MacFadyen did just swell (and a 360 degree flip from his performance at the original Last Pogo where as an audience member he yelled good-natured obscenities at Cardboard Brains.  (Vince is back in the hunt searching for JP.)   Sandy was in ]the 1977 band Swollen Members who’s lead singer, Evan Siegel, is featured in one of the “hidden features” in The Last Pogo DVD.  (WhaaAAA?!  You didn’t know there were “Easter Eggs” in the Special Features menu?)

Around 9:30 the Gothic Cowboy, ex-Fifth Column and Thee Immaculate Hearts (and original Last Pogo attendee) singer Wayne Brown walked into the club with Paul Eckness from The Wads, who walked into the club at a unique, tilting east.   A bouncer went after him, bemoaning his task, but determined to obey strict liquor laws (the Man) and came back empty-handed;  Paul had given him the slip.  “Man, you can smell the weed in there already.”    His partner shook his head in disgust and sighed.  “Maybe we’ll get Paul later.”  It was going to be a long night.

Mickey de Sadist was dressed to the nines, and amongst other gems, told the audience:  “Some of you girls look familiar, but not too familiar.  I think i mighta f*#ked your mother thirty years ago.”   The Forgotten Rebels ended their tight twenty-minute set with their classic “Surfin’ on Heroin” just as original Rebel and Hate-Filled Man Chris Houston, co-writer of “Surfin’” showed up with a flair for synchronicity and did some biz for the camera out front with Rojer Moxie Streets aka Roger Dirtbag aka Roger Fucking Streets.

Roger asked:  “Is The Last Pogo Jumps Again going to be the Chinese Democracy of punk films?”    For the record, we’re aiming to have the movie completed in 2009.

Trouble in the dressing room! For some reason everyone kept blaming Cardboard Brain Vince Carlucci for taking off with the key to the dressing room, and as the Scenics waited around to get in the room so they could get ready to go on the stage, Pogo director Brunton make a feeble attempt to pick the lock, and finally barkeep and ex BopCat Teddy Fury fished it out from under the bar, the Scenics got settled in, and a few minutes later took their turn on the stage, blasting through a tight set after spending a week in Toronto laying down tracks for a new album, and ending the set with their last-minute version of “I Heard Her Call My Name”.   Drummer Mark Perkells’ 82-year-old mother drank beer at the front of the stage and watched her son keep the beat, while Andy Meyers jumped for joy.

Former B-Girl (and now bass-player for the punky NYC-based New York Junk) Cynthia Ross flew in from the Big Apple to introduce The Mods, and in the twenty minute break between the Scenics and The Mods, ran into a couple of other B-Girls in the basement:  Xenia, there just for kicks, and Lucasta, getting ready to introduce Steven Leckie and the Solutions!

Meanwhile, original Viletone and The Best Commentary Reader Ever (watch his stuff on The Last Pogo DVD) Chris Haight forgot his ticket at home, and drummer and man-about-town Cleave Anderson had to open the back door of the Horseshoe to sneak him in.  Yes, security was that tight.  In a perfect world, of course, Chris would’ve been on the guest list or better, up on stage playing, but just having him there was pretty cool.   Cleave, under the influence of beers and perhaps something else, with no intention of doing anything but having a good time, was quickly snagged by the B-Girls as their plot developed, and Ugly guitar-player (and –okay, this is confusing — Viletone in an interview portion of The Last Pogo movie, but not on stage at the time, go figger) Steve Koch was lured into the surprise attack that they were planning.

Cynthia introduced The Mods, the only band there that night featuring all of the original members, and without saying word one performed a crowd-rousing, tight, fast set of hits.  Dressed exactly the same as they did thirty years ago.   “That drummer is a maniac!”, said audience member Casey Sebert.  Well, Casey, if ya didn’t know, he’s also a highly respected lawyer and the main guy for getting this whole show happening.  It was a little odd to see David at the end of the night, still dripping sweat, carefully doing the accounting for the bands’ payday.  In true punk fashion, the box-office was split equally amongts all musicians, and everyone walked away with a couple of hundred thousand dollars.  Whoops, I mean pennies.  Or tenths of pennies.  Hey — it wasn’t about the money anyways!

With much anticipation, Steven Leckie and the Solutions! were up next, and Leckie surprised everyone by ignoring his classics from the era for a few cover tunes, including a great version of Lou Reed’s Caroline Says, then a spoken word piece that mostly extolled the talents and importance to Toronto’s culture of The Garys Cormier and Topp, and then a couple of more tunes.   “The Solutions!” were Jim Masyck, the late Handsome Ned’s brother, on guitar, and keyboards and programmes by Alex Topp.  It was a nice touch for Alex to use glitter letters to spell out “Solutions, The” on the front of her keyboards.

The surprise of the evening was a couple of tunes by The B-Girls, who shoulda been at the first Last Pogo, but were in NYC at the time.  Joined by Ugly guitar-slinger Steve Koch and a very loosened-up Cleave Anderson, the girls belted out a few tunes and looked great.

The show went out with The Ugly with ex-Dream Dates Greg Dick replacing the late Mike Nightmare (“He’s good,” said drummer Tony Torture, “But he can’t do 100 push-ups like Mike could.”  They squeezed in an encore, and ended the evening with bassist Sam Ferrara inviting some friends on stage to join them.

Okay, we’ve got the final line-up, so here ya go.   A couple of last minute fiddlings, and we’re now set.  We couldn’t get everyone out to the party (The Second Last Pogo?), but we’ve got a jam-packed evening lined up.  And who knows who else might drop in at the last minute.  Speaking of the last minute, as of Sunday, November 9 the show is either half sold out (if you’re an optimist) or half unsold (if you’re a pessimist).   If you do manage to snare a ticket, make yourself all perty ‘n’ everything, ’cause cameras will be watching and recording your every move.

The evening provides a neat book-end to the feature film The Last Pogo Jumps Again, and we’re hoping that all those elusive old punkers we’ve not found yet are there that night, ready for their close-up, and to tell us what they’ve been doing for the past thirty years.  Hear that, Mr. Shit?  Gonna be there, Blake Street Boys?

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, or live and in person at the Horseshoe Tavern, Rotate This, Soundscapes, and Hit’s ‘n’ Misses.

Meanwhile, we continue to work the room peddling our dvds of The Last Pogo.  Our latest cool review comes courtesy of artist/musician Rick Trembles.  In his gig with the Montreal Mirror, Rick has created this little gem:

Okay, back to the anniversary show.  We’re still fiddling with the exact order, so we suppose the next suggestion is to get there on time, ’cause we’re not positive who’s going on first, second, etc.  As together as we’d like to be, there may very well be a good dose of anarchy that evening.   The show starts at 9:00 sharp, and we’ve enlisted the talents of martial arts expert Nip Kicks to help keep order.

A Brief History Lesson on the musicians playing that night:  Tony Torture and Sam Ferrara played with Steve Leckie and The Viletones at the original show, and both Tony and Sam were original Toronto punkers from Day One;  they’ve joined forces with Steve Koch and Greg Dick for this latest version of The Ugly.  During the original Last Pogo, Greg, the singer with Hamilton band The Dream Dates, was in the audience, as might have been Steve Koch.  Steve wasn’t playing with any of the bands that night, but joined The Viletones shortly after, and is seen in the Viletones interview in the film.  Steven Leckie is keeping the members of Steven Leckie and The Solutions! under wraps, unveiling a new band with new tunes the night of the party.  Steven of course was arguably Toronto’s first punk, and premiered the original band at the Colonial Underground in 1976.   The Mods come to the party with all of the original members.  In the past year they’ve re-recorded some of their old tunes, have done a number of gigs, and drummer David Quinton is involved with many international old-skool punkers in his position as one of Canada’s top entertainment lawyers.  Mickey DeSadist is playing at the show, but during the original Last Pogo, Mickey and his band of Forgotten Rebels were audience members, and bitching about the line-up in an interview in the film, it seemed like maybe Mickey should make an appearance this time and play some tunes.  Mickey has been playing shows and making albums since the original Last Pogo in 1978, with either The Forgotten Rebels or The Mickey Show.   The Scenics boast the two original members and song-writers Andy Meyers and Ken Badger, and are joined by Mike Young on bass, and Mark Perkell on drums.  Mike and Mark were members of the Scenics in the early eighties.  In the week preceeding the show at the Horseshoe, The Scenics will be cosied up in a swank recording studio in Toronto laying down new music for an album to be released in 2009.   They released How Does It Feel To Be Loved, their album of live Velvet Underground songs to critical acclaim earlier this year.   The Cardboard Brains’ Vince Carlucci and Patrick Gregory were in the band when they played the first Last Pogo, and this time ’round they’ll be joined by a new drummer and vocalist.  Original lead singer/song-writer John Paul Young is more or less missing in action.

Teenage Head/Last Pogo display at Dr. Disc’s in The Hammer

It’s been a busy week since the passing of iconic Teenage Head frontman Frank “Frankie Venom” Kerr.  Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and now the dust is settling.   No word yet on any official tributes, but once we know, you’ll know.

Pogo H.Q. cut a cheque for Frankie’s children today (and we urge you to do the same;  details in the blog below), and sent along a few copies of The Last Pogo.   As mentioned in the previous blog, Frank’s immediate family hadn’t seen much of him in action, and in fact were somewhat surprised at the huge turnout for the three visitations last weekend.  At the least, our little DVD will give them a glimpse of what the fuss was all about.

Last Sunday, new Ugly frontman Greg Dick had Pogo director Colin Brunton on for a couple of hours, and it was fun.  Of course they started off the show –after the hilarious Mr. Rogers opening — with a Teenage Head song — Kissin’ the Carpet — and then got into the interview proper for a couple of hours.  Brunton played some favourites from his childhood (Good Thing by Paul Revere & The Raiders, Caught in a Dream by Alice Cooper) and even admitted that his guilty pleasures in high-school included the standard Led Zeppelin but also…uh…Jethro Tull and others too embarrasing to mention in print.  Greg asked about working at Gary Topp’s The Original 99 Cent Roxy back in the early seventies (there’s another blog in here somewhere with a story about that) and the through-line that went Roxy to the New Yorker and then The Horseshoe, and how much all of those places planted creative seeds into the brains and souls of many who would become part of the Toronto punk community.   Two things were apparent:  Brunton mentioned drugs and said “Y’know” a lot.  (Hey, he barely graduated high-school, whaddya want?).   Of course, two hours isn’t nearly enough time to lay out all the fun punk facts from back in the day, and after it was over, both Dick and Brunton realized they’d forget to mention tons of people, not the least being Stephen Davies, who both drummed for The Dishes and The Everglades, and had his fingers in many a creative pie.  And then there’s Tony Malone, and The Diodes, and The B-Girls, and The Curse, and…hey, you know the names.   Memories were a little rusty too, but not bad for a couple of middle-aged fellas.   A phone in fact check by Gary Topp clarified that yes, Wayne County and band had to sleep in the New Yorker Theatre after their gig there in 1977, and that was when they watched for the first time The Rocky Horror Picture Show.   Recounting one of his most memorable shows at the Horseshoe — Suicide — Topp also cleared that up:  Teenage Head opened, the joint was packed, and as soon as they left the stage, the audience left the building, leaving only about a dozen people to watch an intense and almost frightening show by Suicide.   They never got around to playing Edie the Egg Lady or Herb Alpert, but did manage to spin a few discs, and tell lots of tales out of school.

Initially uncomfortable with the timing of Frankie’s death and the long-planned release date of The Last Pogo DVD, we’ve kept ourselves busy popping off copies to various indie record stores, and today sent a couple of boxes to Dr. Disc in Hamilton.  Owner Mark Furukawa has set up a nice Teenage Head display, and is going to help promote the upcoming December Last Pogo screening at Lou Molinaro’s new digs, details to follow.   Mark has also generously promised to send one dollar from each DVD sold to Frankie’s family.  You can find out in a blog below just where you can buy the DVD, and we’ll add more stores as they come in.

It looks like we won’t be shooting any new material for The Last Pogo Jumps Again until the New Year, but we will of course have the cameras humming for the big Last Pogo 30th Anniversary Bash at the Horseshoe Tavern, on Saturday November 29th.  Ten lousy bucks gets you in, and it promises to be a great show.   The Scenics (the original line-up from 1979) start the show off around nine, fresh from a Hamilton gig the night before, and after a week of recording a new album of both new and old material.   Mickey DeSadist never got to play the original Last Pogo back in 1978, but he’s graciously agreed to pull together the Forgotten Rebels and take the stage.  Next up will be a screening of The Last Pogo, and then the second half of the show starts off with original Viletone (and Toronto’s first real punk rocker) Steven Leckie unveiling a new sound with a new band, Steven Leckie and The Solutions! (the exclamation mark is part of the name, not that we’re not excited anyways).  Steven promises a show like you’ve never seen before, but don’t think you’ll be hearing old chestnuts like Screamin Fist or Possibilities — this is all new stuff.   Following Leckie will be one or other of the original line-up of power-pop punkers The Mods, and Greg Dick replacing the late Mike Nightmare in The Ugly, featuring original members Steve Koch, Tony Torture and Screamin’ Sam.  In between the scheduled acts DJ O.P.P. of Toronto record store Hits ‘n’ Misses will be spinning vintage punk vinyl.  And while organizers David Quinton and Greg Dick have things planned out in detail, you know there’s always the good chance that a little anarchy will break out.   Watch out for some surprise guests and drop-ins;  it should be a great show.   Advance tickets at the Horseshoe, Rotate This, Soundscapes, Ticketmaster and Hits ‘n’ Misses.
