NEW Punk Exhibit in LA Outsiders, Outcasts, Rebels + Weirdos: Punk Culture at Skirball Center

[GReedDiamond]

Punk rock in Los Angeles circa 1976-1986.

Right when my band - Benedict Arnold & The Traitors - were "active" circa 1979-1982.

We're not covered in this video, but we played with several of the bands featured.

1. Thanks for posting, GReed.

Austin had / has a respectable punk scene as well. My two older brothers introduced me to the cosmic cowboy culture of early 70’s Austin, Armadillo World Headquarters, all of the Gilbert Shelton cartoons... I was born 10 years late. By the time I lived there in ’89 the punk scene was hopping, and on into the 2000’s with bands like the one my friend played drums in, including “The Oklahomos” and “Skatenigs” (more hellbilly than punk).

Hope you’ve been well, man.

2. Thanks for the reply...

...I am as good as I can be, considering the ongoing crisis involving the psychotic orange menace, and the ongoing dying of old age thing!
