What Are You Listening To

How is it that I've never seen this.  They sound so "live" here . . .



 
 43 years ago today.  Keith Morris of Black Flag incites a riot at their legendary Polliwog Park concert in Manhattan Beach, CA. The Tourists opened for them.  They later changed their name to Red Cross and then finally Redd Kross.  Manhattan Beach (and the world) was not ready for them.  Fun fact:  Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth was in the audience . . .

That is a classic pic.  Out here, there is a weekly newspaper called Easy Reader that covers local South Bay issues.  Back in the 70s, the staff photographer was named Spot.  He documented the Hermosa Roller Skating / Skateboard scene back then before becoming the in house producer of Media Art studios, where the first Black Flag records were recorded. 

He later moved to Texas apparently, but a few years back released a Book called The Sounds of Two Eyes Opening that published hundreds of photos from his collection. 

It is epic and contains a many pics like one above, band pics from the notorious "Church" were BF lived / rehearsed (as seen in the Decline of the Western Civilization) and young girls in various poses / parties / roller skating.  It's epic and if yo can find a copy, it will set you back over $500.  .  .
