Riot at Artists Jazz Band Cabaret 1975

Artists' Jazz Band Cabaret at A Space 1975.

Members of the F-art Group interrupted the The Artist Jazz Band cabaret by chanting various slogans such as "DOWN WITH THE METAPHOR SUCKERS" and "THE END OF DUMB IDEAS IS NIGH!" and sung the line "THERE IS ONLY ONE NIKITA SUNBURN" to the tune of Guantanamera in the manner of soccer hooligans. All dressed in matching loose-fitting white overalls with their names embroidered on them, they stood out amongst the artiste crowd with their Sassoon haircuts and berets. Many of the crowd started throwing their smocks at the F-art group. The F-art Group responded with a sticking out their tongues and other rude gestures. Several of Toronto's finest escorted the pseudo-artists out of the hall and directly to their flea-ridden flop house on Parliament. As they were forced to leave, the F-art group were heard to shout: "DOWN WITH THE ANTI-CULTURE... LIVE RADICALLY DISHONEST LIVES."
OneĀ fan deeply resented the disruption. "My life is now pointless. I cannot get those slogans out of my mind. What use is ART now!"
