Ahhhh East LA Plugz. The first Latino punk band. Played many early gigs with the likes of X, Fear, Go Go's etc. They released two albums, and had songs appear on the Repo Man soundtrack. Charlie Quintana would go onto drum in Social Distortion for their Sex Drugs and Rock N Roll album. Best version of La Bamba since Richie Valens did it way back when. This was released on Slash Records

splitting hairs
uh, no they didn't. they were based in silverlake, which is west of downtown los angeles, and decidedly NOT part of east l.a.
ReplyDeleteWell I do know where Silverlake is thank you. I was told they were from East Lo. If I am wrong, oh well. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh man, the Plugz has been removed because it hasn't been accessed for a long time... Seems I'll never get this record.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this blog! Its fantastic!
Kevin, I will re-up this for you. Did not know that the link was dead. Great album! I might even up their second one too. Hell, I should after paying $75 on Ebay
