CANCER BATS AT ADRIFT CLUBHOUSE
Director: Bruce McDonald, 2009
Punk rock stars Cancer Bats are skateboarding enthusiasts with a Do-It-Yourself ethic. So after performing at huge festivals around the world their favourite place for a Toronto show is the Adrift Clubhouse, a no-bouncer/no bullshit skate park turned all-ages live music venue so secret most Toronto music fans don't even know it exists. On a cold winter's day, the Bats boys and director Bruce McDonald take us behind the heavily spray-painted door of the Adrift Clubhouse to reveal how the underground community that has been nurtured there has impacted their lives and career. See a tour of the space and hear the guys talk of their relationship with graffiti, postering, skateboarding and more about the band's origins on the streets of Toronto.
