''A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985'' is a non-fiction oral history of the San Pedro punk scene of the late 70s to the mid-1980s. Authored by Craig Ibarra, the book consists of 70+ interviews with band members (including members of Minutemen, Saccharine Trust, and Black Flag), photographers, and punk fans. While the book expends about a quarter of its length on the well-known Minutemen, the book has been seen as a sort of rebuttal to the Hollywood-centric '' We Got the Neutron Bomb'' the book focuses on lesser known bands such as Saccharine Trust, Hari-Kari, Peer Group, Mood of Defiance and The Plebs. Ibarra spent seven years working on the book. Ibarra first got the idea for the book in January 2007 after reading ''Please Kill Me'' and ''We Got the Neutron Bomb''. The book was released on April 1, 2015, D. Boon's birthday. Reception ''A Wailing Of A Town'' has received quite positive reviews. '' SLUG magazine'' praised the "exc ...

Mood Of Defiance
Mood of Defiance was an American punk rock band from San Pedro, California. Dave Markey described their music as "very atypical for Southern California hardcore—almost psychedelic, but still really aggressive." History The band grew from a previous synthesizer-based band called Kindled Imagination featuring Rachel "Hatha" Mason on synth and Greg Hurley (brother of Minutemen drummer George) on vocals and drums. Hatha decided she wanted to sing so she put an ad in ''The Recycler'' and guitarist T.A. Black (Tom Ybarra) and bassist Kevin Ball replied. Soon drummer Ritchie Wilder left Saccharine Trust and joined the group. The band name was taken from a headline in an issue of ''Time'' which read "MIDDLE EAST: A Mood of Defiance". A seven track demo was made in 1981 at Media Art with SST house engineer Spot producing. The band began playing shows around town and Hatha became known for her outrageous stage antics such as burning a flag onstage, performing while wearing a we ...

Los Angeles Times
The ''Los Angeles Times'' (abbreviated as ''LA Times'') is a daily newspaper that started publishing in Los Angeles in 1881. Based in the LA-adjacent suburb of El Segundo since 2018, it is the sixth-largest newspaper by circulation in the United States. The publication has won more than 40 Pulitzer Prizes. It is owned by Patrick Soon-Shiong and published by the Times Mirror Company. The newspaper’s coverage emphasizes California and especially Southern California stories.

In recent decades the paper's readership has declined, and it has been beset by a series of ownership changes, staff reductions, and other controversies. In January 2018, the paper's staff voted to unionize and fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
