Martha and the Muffins:
Perhaps the most successful band to emerge from the Queen West scene, the Muffins first opened for the Dishes at the Shock Theatre on December 9, 1977. They later opened for the boys at the Beverley Tavern on February 2, 1978. Shortly after, their Echo Beach was topping the charts!

The Biffs:
Those zany teenage sensations (at least in their own minds) from Scarborough, that brought teen angst and Fluffernutter to the Beverley Tavern and asked the musical question "Is It All Art?"

land of giants:
"Three talls and a girl"... and what a girl, the former Miss General Idea herself (and president of The Dishes Fan Club) Anya Varda. This quartet managed to make it into Pitchfork 28 years after their original single was released.
