Northwest Dance Halls

Gai Parie
Burnaby, British Columbia

Some of the bands that this place during the early years of NW rock and roll were:

Vancouver Playboys

Others??

The Gai Parie in Burnaby went through  few changes.  I remember it being called Diegos for a long time, then was the Ozone, and then returning to Diegos.  Finally it was changed to Maverics for the past decade.  The building is slated for demolition in about two years.
