Grab some safety pins, practice your sneer and get ready to revisit Toronto's thriving punk scene. THE LAST POGO documents the raucous 1978 punk concert held in Toronto's legendary Horseshoe Tavern-a night of unhinged music and unbridled mayhem. On December 1, 1978, legendary Toronto concert promoters Gary Topp and Gary Cormier-better known as The Garys-presented The Last Pogo, a rollicking, riotous concert at the venerable Horseshoe Tavern. On the bill were seminal bands from Toronto's punk rock scene: The Scenics, The Cardboard Brains, The Secrets, The Mods, The Ugly, The Viletones and Teenage Head. During the concert, the frenetic energy of 800+ thrashing fans in the club boiled over and a near-riot ensued. Filmmaker Colin Brunton was there with a camera crew to capture it all, from the irreverent punk musicians and the slam-dancing audience to the police who tried to stop the show and the firefighters called in to escort people from the premises.

8. THE LAST POGO JUMPS AGAIN – Review by Jaimie Vernon
29 okt 2013 · The three hour and twenty minute film delves into the literal overnight upheaval of Toronto's staid and conservative pop culture.
With recent media attention focused on the biopic ‘CBGB’ about the New York punk explosion in the mid-1970s and the recent release of a new comprehensive boxed set about England’s The Clash, it seems perfect timing for filmmakers Colin Brunton and Kire Paputts’ exhaustive documentary ‘The Last Pogo Jumps Again’ to shine the spotlight on Toronto’s simultaneously evolving punk/new-wave/alternative music scene scene circa 1976-1978.

The album of ‘The Last Pogo’ concert (which, unlike the movie, omits Teenage Head and the Viletones) In 1978, Toronto (and some Hamilton) punks answered Scorsese’s The Last Waltz, a movie lousy with Canadians, by putting on their own star-studded farewell concert at the city’s Horseshoe Tavern. The Diodes were missing from the bill, but plenty of other Canuck punks made it: Teenage Head, the Viletones, the Ugly, the Mods, the Secrets, the Cardboard Brains, the Scenics. The resulting concert film, The Last Pogo, is so outrageously Canadian as to make Robbie, Joni, Garth and Neil look like a bunch of rank Topekans. It is in fact more Canadian than a Molson delivery truck parked at a Tim Hortons. It’s a shame the Viletones do “Last Guy in Town” instead of “Screamin Fist,” but during the thrilling climax, Teenage Head blows away any lingering disappointment with their sublime “Picture My Face”—the only song they’re allowed to play before the Man pulls the plug, and the punks smash up the club. Director Colin Brunton revisited Toronto punk in 2013’s The Last Pogo Jumps Again, a survey of the scene from 1976 through 1978 that includes notable acts omitted from...
