YOUNG FAST & SCIENTIFIC: The DiY World of AL COLE Book Launch, Oct 19th, 2025 / Steven Frank

Following a solo performance by Ron Hawkins of Lowest of the Low, Steven Frank discusses his new book about the late music promoting legend AL COLE. Presented here is a multi-media take of his extended toast to Al and a thank you to those that helped bring this labour of love to fruition. Contributing writers include What Wave Dave O'Halloran, Sue Weigand, Brian Lambert, Jason King, Lou Molinaro, Patrick Nagle, Craig Laskey, Steve Kane and Erin Hagen. The book documents the hundreds of posters Al made for famous and not-so- famous musical performers from 1980 to 2013 from shows in Oshawa, London and Toronto. Al was much more than a poster designer. The title of the book YOUNG FAST & SCIENTIFIC is from the name of his radio show in London in the early 80's and it in turn comes from a song by NYC's The Dictators. The foreward to the book is courtesy of Andy Shernoff the writer of that song. The accompanying exhibition AL ROC CITY (Oshawa Clubland) opened Sept. 20th as part of the CONVERGENCE FESTIVAL. (Special thanks Dana Cole, Niek Ermes of GET WRAPPED along with Nick Diachenko and Antonella Diachenko and crew for making this telling of local music history possible. The 325 page book is $40 and can be ordered at: [email protected]
