Toronto's FAMOUS UNDERGROUND were due to bring their Rock Social event to Foufounes Eletriques in Montreal, Quebec on June 30th. The band has been forced to cancel their appearance:

"For all of our fans in Montreal, we are sorry but due to a scheduling conflict we will be unable to perform this upcoming weekend on June 30th. We will however be re-scheduling for a later date, as we will always bring our show to the people of Montreal."

The show - renamed Montreal Rock Scene 1 - will reportedly go on with EASY ACES, PARADISE and FREIGHTRAIN. Go to this location for event details.

In celebration of their self-titled debut album, Famous Underground headlined the Rock Social at the Opera House in town on June 7th. Footage of the band covering MOTÖRHEAD's classic 'Ace Of Spades' can be viewed below:

Folks that remember life before grunge may recall the Canadian hard rock outfit kicking up a proverbial storm in the early '90s. SLIK TOXIK achieved Gold status in Canada with their full length Doin' The Nasty, and took home the 1993 Juno Award (Canada's version of the Grammy) for Best Album Of The Year. Sadly, in spite of their success, Slik Toxik called it quits in 1995 as grunge tightened its hold on the music scene. Nick Walsh and lead guitarist Rob Bruce formed the modern rock/hardrock band RAISED ON MARS, and together they released a self-titled debut. Walsh went on to form the hardrock band REVOLVER with CRASH KELLY's guitarist Sean Kelly. Revolver have produced two albums, one being a CD/DVD set. In 2011 the band changed its name to Famous Underground.
