December 15th 1995
Sydenham United Church

Brantford, Ontario
This is the small poster for the show which was 1/4 size of the full poster
This is one of the tickets for the show (front and back)
This was our fifteenth show and our first anniversary show as well. It was one of the best ones and had a large crowd of about 100 people. The show was even video taped.
There was alot of bands that would play that night. Blue Suede Gnus came on first then Karl, Dirge, Circle Theorem, Vic Moya with the Booger Band which was an early form of Curtis Mathis, then it was Dianthus (who were playing a two show night and left right after their set) and at the end was the Earthlings who were playing without Brian.
The show was billed as a "save the downtown" show Vic's wife had an idea to open a small coffee shop downtown where you could have a sandwich and drink and watch a band. (Oddly enough just over a year later Dan Walker of Entertainment Brantford? tried to do the same with the Den.)
