NewRider Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Thats odd to be playing two nights in a row at the Comfort Zone for a U.S. band, or for a Canadian band for that matter. It is posted on the Smokestack website though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted September 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 I book for the Cozone, and just got a little misunderstood. Nero was supposed to play Toronto on the 11th, but it got cancelled or postponed. Thus, Smokestack will only be playing on the 12th. Did you listen to the band's music or just critisize my fact finding? Give them a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
