Assorted cases of beer in tow, we walked more than a mile through neighborhoods often hostile to people like us to pay three dollars and stand in a backyard filled to capacity, get drunk, and raise a little hell as our friends line up in varying band formations every half hour or so and tear through their sets. Their efforts are lit by a single lamp strategically placed on the makeshift stage at the back wall of the house. After a little searching, we find the other heads from the neighborhood\u2014who came to the gig in two carloads\u2014in the far corner of the yard with a keg between them.<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-heading  root-eb-advance-heading-v6mwtoa\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advance-heading-v6mwtoa eb_animation eb___animated eb___fadeInUp\"><div class=\"eb-advance-heading-wrapper eb-advance-heading-v6mwtoa button-1 undefined\" data-id=\"eb-advance-heading-v6mwtoa\"><h2 class=\"eb-ah-title\"><span class=\"first-title\">We are collectively the punks from NYC, but we are by no means alone in the backyard. Kids from Montebello, Huntington Park, Highland Park, South Gate, Alhambra, El Sereno, Monterey Park, and other areas have also come out tonight to see the Sex Pistols, who are rumored to be making a rare appearance. I make my way through the crowd, can of Bud in hand, place my very scrawny self squarely in front of the stage, and begin heckling the members of Side Effects, who are friends from Whittier.<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-heading  root-eb-advance-heading-gd0ddqw\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advance-heading-gd0ddqw eb_animation eb___animated eb___fadeInUp\"><div class=\"eb-advance-heading-wrapper eb-advance-heading-gd0ddqw button-1 undefined\" data-id=\"eb-advance-heading-gd0ddqw\"><h2 class=\"eb-ah-title\"><span class=\"first-title\">\u201cYou guys are too stupid to play and your drummer is a gimp,\u201d I shout at them through the din of tuning instruments.

Their drummer four-clicks and, as the band begins their first song, the backyard erupts into the sea of ritualized violence we call dancing. Many fall to the ground, but are quickly picked up by watchful friends and relatives. Somewhere in the middle of the set, I make my way back toward the keg, parched, sweaty, and loving every minute of the night. Two bands later, my brother informs me that he\u2019s talked one of the bands into lending us their equipment and that we will be playing after Anti-Social, who are currently onstage. We find Scott, our singer, and make our way back toward the stage. Anti-Social finishes and we tune up the borrowed instruments. Scott introduces us as \u201cjust another band fromEast L.A.\u201d and we begin our set amidst a hail of reciprocated insults from the members  and a shower of wasted beer.<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-video  root-eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u \"><div class=\"eb-advanced-video-wrapper eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u lightbox\" data-id=\"eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\"><div id=\"myBtn-eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\" class=\"player-placeholder\" style=\"background-image:url( https:\/\/demo.assets.templately.com\/lifestyle\/blocks\/16\/2023\/08\/Videoimage2.png)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.assets.templately.com\/lifestyle\/blocks\/16\/2023\/08\/Play-Button.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><div id=\"eb-modal-eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\" class=\"eb-modal-player\"><div class=\"eb-player-wrapper\"><span id=\"close-eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\" class=\"eb-modal-close\">\u00d7<\/span><div class=\"eb-player-option lightbox\" data-id=\"eb-advanced-video-hqlbm2u\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PnZx4ZOMyzI\" data-option=\"lightbox\" data-loop=\"false\" data-muted=\"false\" data-playing=\"false\" data-overlay=\"false\" data-controls=\"false\" data-autoplay=\"true\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-wrapper alignfull  root-eb-wrapper-zteii1z\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-wrapper-zteii1z \"><div class=\"eb-wrapper-outer eb-wrapper-zteii1z\"><div class=\"eb-wrapper-inner\"><div class=\"eb-wrapper-inner-blocks eb-wrapper-align-center\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-row alignfull  root-eb-row-y8y2g8b\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-row-y8y2g8b \"><div class=\"eb-row-root-container eb-row-y8y2g8b\" data-id=\"eb-row-y8y2g8b\"><div class=\"eb-row-wrapper\"><div class=\"eb-row-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-column  root-eb-column-jj5qzu0\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-column-jj5qzu0 \"><div class=\"eb-column-wrapper eb-column-jj5qzu0\"><div class=\"eb-column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-heading  root-eb-advance-heading-sc40obf\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advance-heading-sc40obf eb_animation eb___animated eb___fadeInLeft\"><div class=\"eb-advance-heading-wrapper eb-advance-heading-sc40obf button-1 undefined\" data-id=\"eb-advance-heading-sc40obf\"><h2 class=\"eb-ah-title\"><span class=\"first-title\">From 1998 &#8211; 2023<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-heading  root-eb-advance-heading-29khtc5\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advance-heading-29khtc5 eb_animation eb___animated eb___fadeInLeft\"><div class=\"eb-advance-heading-wrapper eb-advance-heading-29khtc5 button-1 undefined\" data-id=\"eb-advance-heading-29khtc5\"><h2 class=\"eb-ah-title\"><span class=\"first-title\">Bringing Happiness Through Sound.<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-essential-blocks-advanced-heading  root-eb-advance-heading-or0ne4p\"><div class=\"eb-parent-wrapper eb-parent-eb-advance-heading-or0ne4p eb_animation eb___animated eb___slideInLeft\"><div class=\"eb-advance-heading-wrapper eb-advance-heading-or0ne4p button-1 undefined\" data-id=\"eb-advance-heading-or0ne4p\"><h2 class=\"eb-ah-title\"><span class=\"first-title\">It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
