Toronto Calling on display at Steam Whistle Art Gallery
Photographs of the British New Wave as it happened in Toronto 1979-1981 Never before displayed, these photos are a front row perspective on a movement that changed the course of music. A glimpse of an underground era in music history, which was locked out of mainstream media, shot by former Torontonians Simon and Nick White. These photos capture a moment in time before the internet and before corporate sponsorship, a unique and exciting time which still seems to resonate with a raw energy and passion: http://www.steamwhistle.ca/events/eventdetail.php?id=152
