DUANE PETERS GUNFIGHT: Southern California's ultra-goob Punk Rock king DUANE PETERS takes five from his arduous duties as frontman/chick magnet for the infamous U.S. BOMBS, the HUNNS, the GREAT UNWASHED, etc. waking the Gunfight from their slumber.
ANGRY SAMOANS: Along with X, Black Flag, Fear and the Circle Jerks, the savagely satirical Angry Samoans rode the first wave of Los Angeles punk. Formed in Van Nuys, California in the summer of 1978, the band was founded by singers and guitarists "Metal" Mike Saunders and Gregg Turner, a pair of erstwhile rock critics who previously teamed with fellow writer Richard Meltzer in the group Vom. After considering names like the Egyptians and the Eigen Vectors (a mathematical termTurner later became a math professor), they settled on the Angry Samoans, enlisted Saunders' brother Kevin on guitar, bassist Todd Homer and drummer Bill Vockeroth, and initially set out as a Dictators cover band. Soon, Saunders and Turner began writing original material, drawing influence from the Velvet Underground, the Sonics, the 13th Floor Elevators and garage rock. After honing their primitive and increasingly thrashy sound at a series of surreal gigs (including sets at the Camarillo State Mental Hospital and a lunchtime show at Santa Monica High School, where emcee Meltzer asked if any "heroin addicts" were in the audience), the Samoanssubstituting guitarist P.J. Galligan for Kevin Saundersdebuted in 1980 with the EP Inside My Brain, highlighted by "Get Off the Air," their pointed swipe at KROQ deejay Rodney Bingenheimer and the L.A. musical community. Two years later, they resurfaced with Back from Samoa, featuring titles like "They Saved Hitler's Cock", "Tuna Taco", and "My Old Man's a Fatso". Soon, the band grew disenchanted with the entire punk culture, and they spent the next several years largely in a dormant state: guitarist Steve Drojensky replaced Kevin Saunders in 1984, Vockeroth went on hiatus, and Jeff Dahl temporarily stepped in for "Metal" Mike in 1985, but by and large the group laid low until 1987's Yesterday Started Tomorrow. Problems with their label and internal differences led the group to disband after recording 1988's STP Not LSD. In 1991, "Metal" Mike issued a solo EP, Plays the Hits of the '90s; in 1994, Turner released his own album, Santa Fe, and later fronted Gregg Turner and the Blood-Drained Cows. Homer, meanwhile, resurfaced in the neo-psychedelic outfit Mooseheart Faith Stellar Groove Band. By the mid-1990s, "Metal" Mike was also fronting a new Samoans line-up which still included longtime mainstay Vockeroth as well as guitarist Alison Wonderslam and Mark Byrne as well as bassist Adrienne Harmon; their infrequent performances (only on Saturdays and only in California) remain a vital link to punk's past.
D.P.I.: Ocean Beach locals D.P.I. (DRUNKIN' PUNKIN IDIOTS) are bringin' it back to Shakedown in the name of booze, skateboarding & general reckless abandon. Banned from various local San Diego venues because of the chaos from their shows, Shakedown welcomes them back with open arms & beer bottles.
DIME RUNNER: Do you remember the glorious blasts from the past entitled "Beach Blvd." and "Rodney On The ROQ" ? I really hope you do as this is Punkrock Elementary School knowledge and therefore absolutely necessary for your existence. Dime Runner is a Fullerton, CA based Punk Rock Garage style band. Formed in 2010 and started playing shows and recording almost immediately. Dime Runner is part of the Post Punk Revival movement and armed with a distinct sound and personality.
PSO: Locals P.S.O. are a young, promising band of Skate Punks. They also share the same lineup as Jakked Rabbits and some of the same songs.
the CODE 7's: Fueled by the absence of legends like Joe Strummer and Dee-Dee Ramone, The Code 7's push for a level of alarming honesty and integrity not commonly associated with today's punk rock and roll bands
