Everyone knows that keeping a band together is the biggest hurdle to success. Just when you find your groove your drummer a) has twins, or b) chokes on vomit, or c) chokes on twins` vomit, etc. and you are back at square one programming your TR808 and considering a switch to hip-hop. That's why one of the first Beaches Jazz Festival rock bands booted their original guitarist Devin (he had twins and missed practices and gigs ... sans vomit). Little did they know that Devin would plan exact his revenge at their Jazz Festival debut! After his former band set up and was chowing down at the food vendors lining Queen Street East, Devin slipped through the crowd and swapped the new guy's amplifier volume knob with a booby-trapped one that short circuited when turned to '11'... oh yeah, did I mention Devin-Eleven played too loud too?
After the band's set fired up the crowd, the amp fired up the new guitarist in the encore. Having turned his amp volume to '11' the guitarist fried himself - the crowd didn't catch on at first, thinking his smoking and sparking guitar was some Ace Frehley tribute (Ace video), and then his rotating spasms on the ground were an homage to Angus Young (e.g.,see 2:30 and 4:15). In the end he was street meat and Devin-Eleven did hard time at the Don Jail.
On late summer nights residents along Glen Manor have reported hearing wails of guitar and the jazz Festival Fry Guy near the scene of the crime (beware of the parkette across from Swiss Chalet - Harvey's!).
