POSTERS - 1970s

HOME

I have a bunch of posters and promo material from long ago. Right now there's only been time to scan the few that you see here but one day there will be more. As well when I can find information on the players, discography, etc I'll be adding details. Clicking on the tiny images will bring up a new window with larger versions.

I can't guarantee that these bands actually played at The Gasworks but I figure they're part of the Toronto and Canadian music scene and should be included. If any of you know details about them please contact me through the email address below or go to the contact page. And of course if you have promo material you can pass along such as scans or originals (originals will be returned) I'd love to hear from ya.

RECKLESS

Jan Melanson - vocals
Steve Madden - guitar, vocals
- bass
- drums

One of the first of the new Canadian metal/big hair bands. Noted for having a female vocalist in a metal band before just about anyone else as well as for great songs and a unique melodic guitar style. While never making it big at home they did get international attention, touring Europe and sharing the charts with the heavy weights of the day. Founder, song writer and guitarist Steve Madden is currently with The Prime Rockers.
