| Don't miss The Gem's 40th Anniversary Christmas Party at Salto today starting at 4pm. Catl plays a covers set at 8 pm. |
SURPRISE SUNDAY POP-UP SHOW
IN SUPPORT OF THE GEM BAR & GRILL
Salto Restaurant & Bar (1138 Davenport Rd) - across from where the Gem stood.
4pm until 2am. CATL plays at 8 pm. $20 admission (includes a beer and nachos).
Writes Catl's Sarah K.: "Heyo! CATL is gonna play some cover tunes around 8 pm tonight in support of our buddy Edualdo Angilletta. The Gem was damaged by fire about a year ago and sadly was unable to re-open. Eddie is auctioning off some of the memorabilia that adorned its hallowed halls. It was our favourite bar for nachos and camaraderie and we miss it dearly.
"The Gem was the first place that catl ever played live a looong time ago. Eddie has been a great supporter who even let us rehearse in the bar during the days when we didn't have a practice space. He also rode his motorcycle down to Detroit to see us one time.
"We're gonna warble through some covers tonight and hope to see some folks who felt the same love for Eddie, the staff and The Gem. A huge loss to the community what was once the greatest rock 'n' roll bar in the city."
Also there's a raffle for The Gem's famous jukebox and an auction of The Gem's memorabilia. For more info, visit the FB event page right here.
