About Me


Between 1984 and '86 at 185 Richmond St. W in downtown Toronto on Wed. nights PARIAH was the meeting place for Toronto's original underground alternative after-hours scene. The scene was officially inherited with the closure of the infamous Voodoo Club located on St. Joseph Street. However, DJ Siobhan O'Flynn did more than merely 'sustain' a scene...she constantly pushed the musical envelope with her mixes, and encouraged the eclectic direction in which things were headed, blending '60s psychedelia and '70s hard rock with the '70s and '80s punk/post-punk menu already being served elsewhere in town, and drawing interesting connections between these seemingly disparate styles and periods in music history. 185 Richmond St. W no longer exists, but this location predicted where Toronto's club district would later establish itself. More history coming soon & additional flyers will be posted very shortly...We would also love any submissions from those of you who remember.
Halloween 1985
Like any successful venture, Pariah did indeed expand beyond the 'confines' of Wed. nights at 185 Richmond St. West...This flyer announced the inaugural 'Saturday night version' to be located in the space formerly occupied by the Voodoo Club (see above), which was called D.O.C. at this point in April of 1986.
