about
Porcelain Forehead came onto the Canadian scene in 1982 and quickly gained a strong following in the punk community with their unique brand of punk with the occasional burst of hardcore and Mike Hillis's frenetic vocals. Over their three-year life span they did some touring, appeared on three compilations and released two records, and shared a stage with many infamous bands including the Dead Kennedy's, the Butthole Surfers, and M.D.C. They stopped performing in 1985 when Chris went to India. The band reunited in April, 2009, to practice the old material with the original line up of Mike Hillis, Chris McLellan, Bruce Stevenson and Ian Seabrook, which was the first time they had played together in 27 years. Plans for an actual reunion show continued without the participation of bassist Bruce Stevenson. His replacement, Janine Frenken (from Unwarranted Trust), completed the line up. The reunion show took place on March 20, 2010, at the Dominion Tavern in front of a packed house. The reunion show was quickly followed by two shows opening for Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine in Ottawa (April 3, 2010) and Toronto (April 4, 2010).
