Another excellent upload from LAPunk13
Even in 1991 there was a fun spirit to this set by LA OG’s The Weirdos who were one of the first punk bands to hit the LA scene in the mid to late 70’s.
It’s nice to see this as back on the East Coast where I grew up in 1991 most ‘punk’ shows were really aggressive and violent. The element of a fun time was pretty much absent. This show represents a different time in punk music when people got together to enjoy a kick ass band and have a good time being an outsider…and there’s ‘pogo dancing’!
On a side note I was lucky enough to play with Dix Denny a few times when he auditioned for the Flesh Eaters around 98-99. He came to a few rehearsals before realizing we were going to do some shows, he thought he was going into the studio with us…he didn’t want to do any shows! That would’ve been fun…alas.
Check out LAPunk13 for more great video from the early LA scene.
This is wonderful stuff. What a great band they were.

They were one of the few bands from the early scene who could really play and write songs.

Yeah, but they had a healthy bit of strange about them too, which helps.

PS. How is Turn Me on Dead Man going? I thought of you when ‘Deep Space Pollen’ came up on my iPod yesterday.

Haha! We have that in the set list. There’s no official announcement but there may be interest from a label in Italy to press some vinyl of the latest album and possibly tour Europe behind it. I’ll definitely post here if anything develops.
