Our friend Dave O'Halloran (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. This morning Dave writes in 1980's Punk Rockers in London, Ontario group:
"Here's some more Reg Quinton pics. This time it's The Golden Calgarians at Call The Office circa 1985.
From the pics you can see the weekly calendar they used to have behind the old stage.
The Golden Calgarians were from Calgary (no kidding) released a couple of albums and singles in the early 80's. Believe they had played the Embassy a couple years prior."
I must confess I have no recollections of this event, but then it was nearly 40 years ago. I confess that, at first glance, I thought these were pictures of the Napalm Babies! We had some school friends from Calgary but have only visited a very few times (like in 1980 on our honeymoon!).
There is a bit about the band on Discogs, on Bandcamp, and even a video of "It's Fun to be Alive" on Youtube. Call the Office (the bar at York and Clarence) is long gone and sadly missed.
Many thanks to Dave for preserving these memories and organizing our photos.
