The Toronto punk scene has lacked a regular spot for a while now. The EDM scene has various spots such as Comfort Zone or the recently closed Guvernment which will be replaced as the main spot by the Sound Academy, the jazz scene has The Rex, and of course people who are into Top 40 have an endless selection of bars to choose from. But the punk scene still doesn't have a hub for people to go to on a regular basis.
Punk fans have been left to go to different spots every weekend without a guarantee that they will find something to go to every time. Sneaky Dee's does a decent job at bringing cheap shows around quite often, but they still don't offer punk fans something all of the time. So fans are left chasing events at various venues such as The Opera House or the Annex Wreckroom.
Jess Montebello and Erika Supply plan to fill this void through their vegan cafe, D-Beatstro which will be hosting various events for the punk scene.
