Notorious for the openly sexual nature of their songs and the burlesque theatricality of their live performances \u2014 which often included bondage and sexual satire \u2014 the band was one of the first mainstream musical acts to include explicitly gay and lesbian references. Four-time JUNO Award winners Rough Trade are best known for the risqu\u00e9, controversial hit single High School Confidential, which was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2020. Rough Trade The Musical, written by Pope and Kate Rigg and starring Chilina Kennedy, is being workshopped in New York. A documentary on Carole\u2019s life based on her autobiography Anti Diva is in development with the CBC, produced by Michelle Mama and Gay Agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In partnership with Anthem Entertainment Group and Live Nation, Rough Trade will be inducted into Canada\u2019s Walk of Fame alongside 12 other Canadian music legends at Canada\u2019s Rock of Fame on Sept 28 at Massey Hall in Toronto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadaswalkoffame.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada&#8217;s Walk of Fame<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rough Trade \u2013 A trailblazing, politically charged, punk-inspired New Wave rock band (Arts &amp; Entertainment) Rough Trade was formed in Toronto in 1974 by multi-instrumentalist Kevan Staples and vocalist Carole Pope.
