THE LAST POGO

Maverick Producer COLIN BRUNTON & surprise guests in attendance

A weekend where all the energy and friendly corruption and intimacy and tears and noise and drinking and dancing of eight months were crushed to be savoured.

THE LAST POGO MOVIE has made tangible a little bit of what went on at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern when it's concerts were produced by the two Garys, Topp and Cormier -- and because that final weekend party seemed to specify, in terms of the music (the artful, the artless, the funny, the different) the spirit that the 'Shoe and the Toronto punk scene was ultimately about.

The move (and separate album produced by Bomb Records) gives a small glimpse of those times between March and December 1978, in Toronto's music revolution. It's not comprehensive, it doesn't offer perspective. It just helps to strengthen messy memories and offers a taste to those outsiders who never got to experience what all the talk was about.
