JOY DIVISION Tribute, Toronto 1997

This was the second time I ever videotaped a show. I loved the Joy Division studio albums but found their live recordings much more powerful. This tribute show at the El Mocambo, Toronto, on Feb. 9, 1997, was the first I got to hear their music being played live. Some pretty cool versions

About us

Punks And Rockers was founded by Aldo Erdic who began chronicling the Toronto punk scene in 1997 with a videozine series called F*U*TV. Continuing to film local and touring bands into the 2000’s, in 2010 Aldo directed “cira 1977: The Diodes”, a documentary short about one of Toronto’s first punk bands, which premiered at the 2010 NxNE Film Festival. Aldo also contributed footage to “The Last Pogo Jumps Again”, a feature length documentary about the 1977-80 Toronto punk scene. In the 2010’s, Punks And Rockers filmed many of the live studio sessions at CIUT 89.5 FM radio.
