[1] Founded by Platinum Blonde frontman Mark Holmes and fellow English-expat Bobbi Guy as The Mod Club Theatre in 2002, the venue hosted live performances and DJ nights.

[7] Holmes also deejayed at the club under the name DJ MRK, with set lists featuring genres such as hip hop, electroclash, dance-punk and other forms of alternative dance music.

[9] Described by C. J. O'Connor of the Toronto Star as "pre-inflatable-pig Pink Floyd, powered by Marshall/clothed by Galliano," the band's sound was inspired by the music of the late 1960–early 1970 London rock scene.

[1] Other performers that played at the club included The Killers, Metric, Calvin Harris, The Lumineers, Sia, John Mayer, Florence + the Machine, Cypress Hill, Yukon Blonde, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Lana Del Rey.
