AMOEBLOG: How would you describe the LA music scene to people who know nothing about LA?
21st at 7:00pm. But wait, there’s more! Frontman Johnny Strike will also be signing and his new book A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above, published by 
James. They ripped post-hippie San Francisco a metaphorical new one when they released their first (and many say Punk’s first) single “Hot Wire My Heart / Baby You're So Repulsive.” There was no mistaking these guys for mere rockers; they mixed a rebellious and sexually-charged image (they were most often seen flaunting their vampiric, just-outta-rehab good looks in tight leather, regulation police uniforms, or old-time gangster duds) with their unique blend of intellectual and furious lo-fi rock and roll. Crime found local refuge at the now legendary Mabuhay Gardens, but became nationally notorious after playing a gig at San Quentin Penitentiary in full police uniforms (of course).
writing. Frankie Fix attempted a Crime reunion in the early 90’s, but Strike elected not join in. In 1996 Frankie Fix passed away.
ng them on me while they sang along to my song "See Your Face Again." 
had a choice?
Do you remember the first show you ever went to?
about it. A lot of the bands I liked when I was in high school broke up cause they were local bands and they went to college and got into different things. I would go to tons of shows and they weren't all hardcore shows, like I saw lots of "alternative" rock shows at the Orpheum. It's kind of like the Warfield but more decrepit. They closed it down for a while, so when Sabrina started going it was a totally different generation of shows there. I saw the Sugarcubes and Sonic Youth there and stuff like that.
