Pressure Point-80's

circa 1983 - circa 1987
Pressure Point was active from 1983 to 1987. Ken Eisner was ld gtr and backing vocals. Chuck DePape was rthm gtr, backing vocals and some lead vocals. He switched to bass gtr in 1985. Grover Foreman was the bass player until 1985. On drums the main player was Andrew Tolson and was preceded by Charlie “something” - nobody can remember his last name. Sean McCool was on keys and replaced by Trevor Inkpen in 1985. A 17 year old Gene Hardy on sax (known as Eugene Hardy till he graduated from high school). Harris Gilmore on lead vocals and harp. Played ska, reggae and 60’s R&B. About 1/3 original tunes written by Gilmore/Eisner/DePape.

Main claim to fame was opening for No Means No at the Fernwood Community Centre in 1983. (It’s mentioned in the recent book about No Means No). Memorable night dealing with slam dancers crashing into the stage head first, including one guy who slammed his head into my mic stand. It hurt my lip so I instinctively kicked him in the head. The crowd went crazy-they loved it! No Means No came on stage and the bass player turned his amp up full and blew it up on their second song. They asked to borrow our bassist’s amp - he said flatly no. Harris
