Detroit's "Death" performed at The Mod Club in this past weekend to a sold out crowd who got to experience history 50 years in the making, as part of the excellent Project Nowhere indie-music festival programming. The African-American proto-punk band consisted of three brothers (Bobby, Dannis, David) who recorded their first (and only) single back in the mid-1970s, before disappearing into obscurity. After a unforeseen sudden resurgence of interest spurred by rabid underground punk scenesters, they were signed to Drag City Records and finally were able to release a full album, with new material on the horizon. The current incarnation of the band is without their brother David, who passed away, and was the main inspiration for the band. Bobby's three sons have since since started their own punk punk of original tracks and Death covers, under the name ROUGH FRANCIS. Catch them live if you can, and also make sure to watch the documentary on them, "A Band Called Death" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ZJ65oxyQQ&list=OLAK5uy_nCANfL0DjpvoMKmCVyym1yu5K7oum2Ybg

"You Had To Be There" is a documentary on the 1972 Toronto production of the "Godspell" musical, that also pieces together how many of the actors and comedians also intertwined together in almost an incestuous way between The Second City Toronto, SCTV, and Saturday Night Live. It's wonderfully done with clips from the past and animated vignettes, interspersed with interviews from those members still around today, including Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Paul Shaffer, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, and Jayne Eastwood. A truly Canadian viewing experience! RIP Gilda Radner, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara. Now screening at select theatres across Canada, including Oct 2 to 8, 2026 at Toronto's TIFF Lightbox Theatre (350 King St W) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWNj0ZgfgDk G*T PR Greenwich Entertainment
