Ah yes, club 369/goodies. The thing i remember most about that place was the hideous soundman. I saw 3 shows there and by the 4th i learned my lesson and stayed home. He would turn it up SO loud that it was deafening. Saw DI, agent orange, and the cadillac tramps there and i swore after my third show i would never go back.
What about club mesa? anybody remember that dive? Now that was a bonafide shithole. that was the only place i could walk into and my feet would literally stick to the floor. The security guards were all skinheads and they would shed the yellow shirts when the band started and kick the hell out of the blacks and the mexicans before they knew what hit em. Then when the gig was over, they would but the shirts back on and usher everyone outside. I always thought that was pretty funny.
Never went to the country club back in the day because i tried everything in my power to stay out of the valley. It must be a frank zappa and nicholas cage thing i guess. I missed some great gigs there though. The coach house was a big deal though.

I DO I DO!!! yup I could sworn I was typing Club Mesa but then put Club 369....damn I shoulda read my post before I sent.
I am just glad my fellers were older and took care of me. Man, I don't want to imagine what could have happened if they weren't so diligent. I'm lucky.
*cheers* wait...I mean g'night.

Very happy to see other 30ish people here but happier to see the new school here as well, and I thought we were hopelessly doomed... younger generation-wise. LOL glum from Banana Splits-Gulliver's Travels anyone? Hope is reborn and alive! Thanks to all of you!

IRS "the cutting edge" was my favorite show !
Rock on !
HEY! I'M 17 AND I'VE BEEN A HUGE SOCIAL DISTORTION FAN FOR SIX YEARS. I HEARD STORY OF MY LIFE ON KROQ, WENT AND BOUGHT THE CD, AND AUTOMATICALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH MIKE NESS. I HAVE SEEN THEM AT INLAND INVASION 1 AND 2, AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES, ANAHEIM, AND I'M GOING TO SEE THEM AT THE WILTERN ON NOVEMBER 24.
'The Cutting Edge' also exposed me to the band, Specimen, a cult-favorite of mine--remember 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'?
I'm 26, been listening since '92 along with bad religion (before they where lame!) and Guttermouth, when they lived off of Main street I Huntington near "the electric chair" where all the shit would go down...
I grew up in Huntington and as you know there's a HUGE punk influence there...
I don't remember Specimen ...
My favorite was The Alarm interview on the train.
I got to meet Peter Zaremba when I saw the Fleshtones , way back in 88.
This is my first post to the board. I'm 34 and have seriously been into social d since the self-titled LP after seeing 'story of my life' and 'ball and chain' on what i believe was MTV's '120 Minutes' (damn I miss Dave Kendall Kevin Seal--by the way, does anybody remember watching 'IRS's - The Cutting Edge' on MTV back in the early 80's?).
I was first exposed to the band in the early 80's when i saw 'another state of mind'. I either rented the VHS from my local video store or I saw it on USA when they used to have alternative/new wave programming on in the wee hours on Friday Saturday nights. I think the show was called 'night moves' or something. I'm not sure--I could be wrong.
Anyway, I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts and like the fact that the older fans are exchanging thoughts with the younger fans. I'm going to the show tonight in Orlando so I'll post the set list when i get home.
p.s. Why are 'I Was Wrong' and 'Winners and Losers' not being played live recently? The former is a great older song and the latter is my favorite on the new album next to 'Highway 101'.
