It was a night “Under the Neon Palms” at the El Mocambo. As Toronto’s hard rock legends Coney Hatch performed thier debut album in its entirety to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their certified gold record.

The show included additional songs from their extensive catalog. Coney Hatch returned to the iconic El Mocambo where they first played back in 1983.

Always engaging with their loyal fans, there was a VIP fan engagement that included early entry to the venue to witness the soundcheck, a meet & greet with all four members, photos with the band and an autograph session.
