 D.J.Skeleton Over two days in November 1996, I pulled off what became infamously known as “The Kingston Sandwich”: Headstones at Studebaker’s on November 8, The Tragically Hip at the Pacific Coliseum the next night, and then straight to the Town Pump to see Headstones again afterward. That last Headstones show had an extra bit of mythology around it. Word suddenly started buzzing through the Town Pump that Gord Downie had shown up after the Hip finished their Coliseum show. I never actually saw him, but the rumour tore through the building and everybody seemed to be talking about it. Somewhere in the middle of the chaos, I also ran into the bass player from Rymes with Orange in the crowd near the mosh pit. By that point we vaguely knew each other because I’d been to so many Rymes with Orange shows that year, so we hung out and talked for a bit. Headstones, Tragically Hip, Headstones again—all crammed into about 24 hours, with Gord Downie supposedly in the building and a familiar face from the local scene in the pit. A pretty damn memorable Kingston Sandwich. The Tragically Hip / Rheostatics Aug 22, 2026

 Michael August Schmidt Sadly, everything was running late, so I think Thought Industry only got to do 2-3 songs. There were two bands with “Anal” in their name, so the whole event was quite a letdown…but I got to meet the band, so it was worth the time and money. Milwaukee Metalfest 1994 Aug 21, 2026
