MUSIC: Toronto music promoters The Garys closed out their 1978 stint at the Horseshoe Tavern with one final punk-rock blow-out called "The Last Pogo." Undercover police at the concert shut down the show when headlining act Teenage Head took the stage, allowing the band to play only one song. Their decision incited a furious audience to then rip the venue apart. The entire event was documented in the punk film classic The Last Pogo, a look at the Toronto punk scene from 1976 to 1978. The Last Pogo 30th Anniversary tonight features many of the original bands, including The Mods, The Scenics, The Ugly, Steven Leckie of The Viletones, and audience member Mickey DeSadest of The Forgotten Rebels. The show is being filmed for the upcoming release of The Last Pogo Jumps Again. A DVD of the original 1978 film is now available, and will be screening at the bar during the show. Horseshoe Tavern (370 Queen Street West), 9 p.m., $10.
