Before jumping back into my master tapes I thought I'd throw up another slice of LA punk history. Two great bands in a doubleheader on one night about the time the LA punk scene was peaking.

I've listen to this show often and it's one of my favorites as being a great snapshot of one night at a LA punk club.

Most people are very familiar with X, gaining quite a bit of commercial fame along the way but maybe not so familiar with The Plugz. Having the distinction of being the first Latino Punk band they released two great independent LP's in 1979 and 1981 (Electrify Me and Better Luck). They were also one great live band doing traditional rave up's and tight originals.

I hope you enjoy this bit of LA punk history!
