#AFU covering “Highway Patrolman” by #CircleOne at a backyard in #ElMonte with @carloshamma434 on vocals, @magmatized78 on guitar, Chris Del Rio, and probably Eric Vasquez (off camera) on drums. If it’s a Monte gig from ’97 then there’s a pretty good chance #funkychickenproductions had something to do with it. If that’s the case then I might have a flyer for this gig. ⁣

#TheJawas at Richard’s pad on Redding St. in #Rosemead. This is the from the same video that @syphic put on YouTube a few years ago. The one with #Syphic from an earlier post. That’s @b_von_wolfe on vocals, Stevie G on guitar, Duke on bass, and motherfucking @carloshamma434 on drums. They later became #TheJawaz.⁣
⁣
The flyer for the gig was sent in by @syphic_sgv.⁣ According to @dandrews319’s records, #teenagerage and #creepshow didn’t play and The Munsters got added.

Shoutout to Gerald Levano/@syphic_sgv of #Syphic (Stoned Youth Politically Hated in California) for the first submission. Thanks, homie! This flyer features SGV bands, some legends, and a few other heavy hitters. Such a good lineup! The show ended up getting pushed back a day and moved to The World/Ruby on Hollywood Blvd., where the clubs Perversion, Clockwork Orange, Beat It, and Bang! used to go down. Now it’s a Buffalo Wild Wings.

I was at the show and even bought an all-access pass from one of the Syphic or #AFU guys, which I still have because I keep shit from pretty much every show I’ve ever been to. The SGV bands that I was used to seeing in backyards completely held their own and played just as good as the more well-known bands on the bill. There was some underage drinking going on that day as well, so a lot of that day is a little hazy.

Towards the end of the festival I decided to use my pass for more than just hanging out with friends in the VIP room, so I made myself at home at some steps on the side of the stage to watch #Tongue (I need to do a post on them!) and #DRI, which is how I got setlists from both bands.

#DezCadena of #BlackFlag came out near the end of Tongue’s set to join them on vocals for a couple songs. The setlist says they did “Jealous Again” by Black Flag and “I Got a Right,” but I don't remember them playing it. What I do remember is them covering part of “Flashlight” by Parliament, which was messy but they pulled it off pretty well.
