No matter how hard some folks try to shake it, Windsor and Detroit are forever synonymous, both geographically and musically. Fans of early 80's hardcore from both sides of the border would be wise to pick up last years book by Tony Rettman published by Revelation Records. 'Why Be Something That You're Not' focuses on the American side of the river, but a legendary Windsor venue gets a brief but worthy mention. Hardcore history in our back yard.
From the book:
Coronation Tavern
Sleazy dive bar across the border into Windsor, Ontario infamous for its skillet swinging proprietor and lax attitude towards underage patrons.
5/23/1981- D.O.A/Necros
8/2/1981- Minor Threat/Necros/Meatmen
9/5/1981- the Fix/Meatmen
10/17/1981- Necros/Negative Approach/Youth Patrol/Suburban Anger
