"Hard Core Logo was and always will be the real fuckin' deal."
Hard Core Logo was one of Canada’s most notorious and influential punk bands - until they fell apart on the night of their career-making deal. Years later, during the mid-90s punk revival, lead singer Joe Dick - living somewhere between East Hastings and a dream - decides it’s time to unite the band for a last-gasp reunion tour across Western Canada. It’s the story we know, the book we love, the movie that affected us all. Now, for the first time, we’re taken on a theatrical journey into the world of Vancouver punk rock in the stage adaptation of the Canadian cult classic.
