Growing up in Southern California there were all there gigs and cool local LA punk bands like Social Distortion, The Vandals, T.S.O.L. the Minutemen, X, Black Flag, Social Distortion, etc. I feel pretty lucky to have been there and have this music for us "weird" kids.

Once a week I'd go to Moby Disc records in Woodland Hills and grab all the gig fliers stacked on the floor near the cash register. I still have all of them. They're hand-drawn art and clip-and-paste type made with Xeroxed copies. One of them, features a long bill of acts headed by the Cramps, and way down the list, eight deep at the bottom, is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
