btw, did you ever see any shows at the Anti Club on Melrose? My neighbor was in two bands (Joe Band and Piano Moscow) that played there frequently.


My LA time was so long ago I no longer remember the names of the clubs anymore. I remember the names of some of the bands, tho -- I saw the Three O'Clock, the Mentors, the Dickies, probably a few others. I didn't see anywhere near as many LA punk bands as my friends, tho, since I always thought most of the LA bands were kinda boring. Up in SF I used to go to the Warfield mainly, where I saw Devo in my junior year in high school, circa 1979. I may have seen them twice.  

Never made it to Bleeker Bob's -- I was carless at UCLA, so I hardly ever strayed from the West Side.

Pay no mind to Erasmus. He's just trying to go all Youth Pastor on us so he can start talking about Don Reno.

I would have loved to have seen the mid-80s lineup of the Mentors. My neighbor and I got turned on to them when we went into a record store in Hermosa Beach. The clerk put their live album on the turntable, and in a matter of seconds, everyone else in the store vanished. We left too, but not before we purchased the two Mentors albums they had in stock.

Other than seeing my neighbor's band, the only major show I saw in LA was Black Flag, Gone and Painted Willie at Safari Sam's. It was a pretty suckass Black Flag lineup - Greg Ginn's instrumental band, Gone, kicked ass, though.

I would have loved to have seen Devo in '79. Lucky dog.
