DEAD PUNK - al's bar
DEAD PUNK - al's bar *
yes, we remember it
well? real well...
This place across from Little Tokyo
along some weird sidestreet with all
these loft places full of young artists;
al's bar being full of PUNK ARTISTS.
MANY bands played there in the late
1980's to the end of the nineties.
I went there many times, including
videotaping several bands
click the top picture, see the exhibit
of al's Bar after it closed INCLUDING
my video shots of SOME of the bands
I shot there... like the DICKIES.
KIKI MORETTI narrates this piece
( more kiki later...)
THIS WAS a very fun and free place.
VERY PUNK ROCK.
