In case you missed it, Frigidaire III was a benefit held at the Roxy on September 17th and 18th to kick off the CKCU funding drive.
Two Toronto bands, ZEROPTION and BREEDING GROUND, played both nights and on Friday there was BUGS HARVEY OSWALD and U.X.B. and on Saturday SOMETHING RED and CIVIL TERROR played.
