63 Monroe

Our friend Dave O'Hallaran (aka What Wave Dave on CHRW) has been sharing on Facebook, with our grateful permission, photos that we had taken of various bands back in the 1980's. Today Dave writes in The Cedar Lounge - Blue Boot group: "Some more 63 Monroe pics from Reg Quinton, this time at the Cedar Lounge circa 1981/1982."

Bob Loblaws comments: "I remember they played one night when I still worked there as a waiter, they both came in wearing pig masks"

These photos are awfully dusty and dirty. I really ought to dig them out and scan them again. I can't recall but I suspect these were shot on movie film — there was some crazy deal that returned prints, negatives and positives. Processing was crap, hence the crappy scans. I've spent a bit of time adjusting exposure but really ought to dig out the originals, clean them up and rescan.

However, it was a fun crazy time at the Cedar Lounge. That's Markii Burnaway in guitar, Jeff Roth (Rooster) on drums, Peter Dekoker on bass and Steven R. Stunning (Scott Bentley) on voice.

Many thanks to Dave for his work organizing photos and figuring out the location and time for many of these.
