16 COMMUNITY & ARTS The Kensington Market Drum, December 1990
Performance
cont. from pg 15
.where the anger is aimed:
against mind control, repression
and rip-offs. Then again,
maybe Thor who took part in
the demolition had been
watching the Leafs play
Philadelphia.
The Floor Show
Bill was impressed by the
slam dancing. He said it
reminded him of a friendly
rugby game -where you
receive a bone-crunching
tackle, jump up and pat the
tackler on the bum, exclaim
"well done" and get ready to
· be thrown on your face again.
Karen concurred that it was
the most gentlemanly (sexist
adjective, eh?) sport. And all
in all, discounting the guy
with the Charles Manson
eyes, all the participants
seemed to thoroughly enjoy
getting whacked about.
Kate McNeD
The performance given by
Kate McNeil at the Last
Temptation on November 25
was slightly more laid back
than the B.F.G. show.
Accompanied by Norm Amadio
on keyboard Kate sang an
eclectic mixture of jazz standards,
original compositions
and even some show tunes.
How about "Just to be on the
street where you live" or Cole
Porter's "Love For Sale" as
smile inducers?
A Surpme Guest
·McNeil was joined for her
last set by some guy named
Don Thompson who shows a
lot of promise as a sax player.
His breathy horn helped
shape a fuller, smoother
sound. There were some
occasionally too jagged edges
during the show (you want
slick you go to the Bermuda
Onion), but jazz is by definition
improvisational and the
odd missed note or forgotten
word only heightens the sense
of fun and musical risk-taking._
Kates Place
Beggining January the back
room at the Last Temptation
will be called Kate's Place on
Sunday afternoons and will
set fingers snapping between
5 and lOpm. Oh yeah, Bill
loved the show.
·Much Musk
With the Last Temptation
back on-line, the Free Times
reopened, the Silver Dollar
again booking interesting acts
and rumours of future happenings
at Scadding Court,
not ·to mention a proposed
Drum Benefit Concert (inter-
. ested musicians phone 599-
4317), the Market music
scene is as robust and diverse
as ever.

The Drum occasionally
suffers space constraints.
Such was the case last month
with an article about a series
of concerts at Sneeky Dees
sponsored by the Toronto
Disarmament Network. We
regret not being able to alert
our readers about some fine
music and also missing the
opportunity of informing
them of some-free passes
provided by the TON.
Tuesday evenings in
November offered a mixed
bag of musical styles with
four bands appearing each
night. The best sets of the
series were played by the
Angels of Montenegro,
League of Nations and the
Matriphiles. Make an effort
to catch these bands next
chance you get.
