This short review was originally published in TLN in January 1991.
A Scottish group playing downtown Toronto promoting an album so far unreleased in their home country?
As the Canadians say "eh?" Shame play an invigorating set containing a waelth of new material. Live Shame shake off the studio bound feel of the album 'Symi', creating a music which aches for a larger audience. And that is a shame.
Short and sharp it was in the TLN Short Lives section. Shame were a band lead by Norman Rodger ex TV21. I caught up with them in Ottawa and travelled with them to Toronto where they played live on a local cable station and in the afternoon and the Rivoli that night.
