On Thursday October 30th, 2008 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto, HELIX, ANDY CURRAN & SOHO 69, BRIGHTON ROCK and RUSS DWARF will perform a concert to benefit Carl Dixon (CONEY HATCH) and his family.

Proceeds from the event will go to defray the costs associated with Carl Dixon's near fatal car accident that occurred four months ago in Australia.

Andy Curran along with Brighton Rock has assembled their original line ups. Both Brighton Rock and Andy Curran & Soho 69 have not appeared live in over a decade. Joining Curran will be his original drummer Glenn Milchem now of BLUE RODEO who will help Andy perform songs from his Coney Hatch catalog and beyond.

Russ Dwarf was the lead vocalist and co-founder of the KILLER DWARFS formed in 1981. Russ is now fronting his new solo band for the first time in Toronto (tricycle TBA??).

Helix is currently supporting their latest release The Power Of Rock N Roll. Brian Vollmer’s band is still going strong after 30 years and has 2 Platinum records and 4 Gold records to their credit.

We call this line up the "Full Metal Package" says Brighton Rock lead vocalist Gerry McGhee.

Russ Dwarf warns us.... "It's going to be a cool evening of some really heavy all Canadian hard rock and metal from yesteryear.... and it's for a great cause, Carl is good friend of all four bands"

"If you survived the 80's, chances are you will want to be there"!! Adds Curran. "October 30th is not far off and all of us always dressed like it was Halloween everyday!"
