Past Concert

LineUp

Formed in Van Nuys, California, in 1978 by Metal Mike Saunders and Gregg Turner, the Angry Samoans emerged as part of the first wave of Los Angeles punk. Known for their primitive, thrashy garage-punk sound, the band released the 1980 EP Inside My Brain and the 1982 album Back from Samoa.
The Dickies, formed in 1977 in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, are a pioneering punk band known for their humorous style and lively performances. They achieved fame with hits like "Banana Splits" and "You Drive Me Ape (You Big Gorilla)." Their quirky covers and original tracks merged punk-pop and L.A. hardcore influences. Despite lineup shifts and hiatuses, founding members Leonard Graves Phillips and Stan Lee kept the band going. Influential in punk circles, they inspired bands like Green Day and The Offspring. Notable collaborations include a 2019 single with Monkey from The Adicts.
