SYDNEY'S DAMAGED IN FIRE

Dear Friends,

You may have heard that Sydney's was damaged in a fire this Monday. Thank you to those who have already offered support and kind words.

The fire started next door at Deluxe and quickly spread through the rafters of the Australian Boot Company, Deluxe, Sydney's, and Flight Centre. We are very fortunate that only the upstairs of our store was damaged and the majority of our merchandise is still in excellent condition.

We will be having a fire sale in the very near future, so please watch your inbox for the announcement.

In the meantime, if you have any questions or wish to get in touch with us for any reason, please direct your emails to info@shopsydneys.com

If you have an emergency and need to get in touch with Sydney personally, please contact him on his cell phone at 416.894.3635

We will keep you posted on all further developments.

Thank you again for your support.

Warm regards,
The Sydney's Team

KERN: A Retrospective


Our friends at Studio Gallery on College are currently presenting a retrospective of New York based photographer and stalwart of the 80's East Village Underground scene Richard Kern's work. The exhibition opened last night with a party featuring a screening of several of Kern's short films and a performance by Toronto metal band Dentata.

Tonight at 7pm, Studio hosts an exclusive live artist talk between Kern and famed Toronto artist and filmmaker Bruce LaBruce after which there will be a Q&A and book signing. We will be heading straight there as soon as we close the shop, you should join us!

Studio will be hosting some other Kern-related events throughout the month of May, CLICK HERE for more info.
