TonyRage Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) First off, apologies for posting this twice (once in the listings forum and once here), but I don't know if people check the listings. So if this is poor form, feel free to lambast me and add lots of really nasty smileys.To the meat...I know I have not been posting here for some time, and I am sorry to have denied all of you my witty retorts and oft aggressive posts, but I have a new band and we are playing a show this coming Saturday, April 12th at the Imperial Pub at 54 Dundas St East (at Victoria).Our band is called Shoot The Cameraman, and we combine some country, some rock with some serious twang. Check us out at www.myspace.com/shootthecameramanWe will be joined by Must Stash Hat who are three great musicians who can really play, and vary in style from 70's Southern Rock, to funk to country. They also have more h's, s's and t's in their band name than any band since Hashithashta from the 1950's. They are here: www.myspace.com/muststashhatThe cover is $3. MSH will be on around 9:30 with an hour long set. STC will follow them with two shorter sets.If you have never been to the Imperial, it has been around for over 60 years, and the current owner Ricky (third generation owner) has set up a really great stage in the back room. It is small, warm and the beer is cheap.I would love to see some skanks representing (other than the traditional ones who hang out in that hood). So drag yourselves out, if you have the urge to dance or just binge drink.When: Saturday, April 12th, 2008, 9pm-2amWhere: The Imperial Pub, 54 Dundas Street EastWho: Must Stash Hat and Shoot The CameramanWhy: Why not Edited April 9, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 For those that plan on going, there's two parts to the Imperial/Library Pub: upstairs and main floor. I believe this gig is in the main floor pub, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRage Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 That is correct buddy. It is actually in the back part of the first floor, where there are normally pool tables. Much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I haven't been in the Library for a couple of years. Don't tell me they've done a little renovating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRage Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 A lot actually (according to Ricky) but it's hard to tell. It still has the same vibe - a mix of Ryerson and gangsta and real scary old white dudes. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 As long as the upstairs reamins the same. It's perfect. Downstairs always needed some work, so I gotta check it out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRage Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Upstairs had some work but is still a library. Did you go to Ryerson? And you should come see it Saturday! I am assuming Dublin is somewhere in Ontario. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I went to Ryerson for RTA and graduated in 1994. I went to the Library almost every week for almost a decade and still try to pop in once a year - I live in the east end. I remember the two brothers that ran the place along with their dad (the one brother died of, I believe, flesh-eating disease back in the late 90's). I'm working night shifts this weekend, but I may walk by on my lunch break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyRage Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 That is a nasty way to go. I had a buddy who got it on his hand but it started in the morning and when the wound was the size of a dime by 3pm (started as a dot) he went to the ER and they got it out. If it had started when he went to bed, he would have woken with no hand they said.My ex was in Journalism at Ryerson, so she hung out there a lot a few years back and I would pop in from time to time, but business seems good there. Not going anywhere so I think you have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 I'm not 100% sure he died of flesh-eating disease, but that's what my friends and I were told at the time. It's not something I tried to verify though: "Hey, how did your brother die?"BTW, best whiskey-sours in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
