Oh! It's a ride to Ann Suma's show in Santa Monica.

Now I actually read the whole thing about the ride.

We will ride from The House of Spirits in Echo Park to Track 16 Gallery in Santa Monica for the closing reception of photographer Ann Summa's show of Los Angeles punk rock photos, taken in the late seventies and early eighties.



Info on the show here: http://www.track16.com/exhibitions/ann_summa/index.html



Bands currentlly scheduled to perform at the event include:

HUMAN HANDS

MIKE WATT + MISSINGMEN

PHRANC

CHAIRS OF PERCEPTION (Formerly the URINALS)

DEADBEATS



We'll also be handing out maps of L.A. punk landmarks and limited edition spoke cards.



This event will be well attended. We'll roll at 5:30 pm sharp (not bike time!) in order to get to Track 16 for the 7 pm start. If you can't make the start, join us along the way. Route subject to change . . . hey, it's punk rock!

I agree with limefly. Let's coordinate to make a few playlists and give them to Dan. I don't know how to get in touch with him as I'm new to the rides. I have an ipod mini which should work fine if we are only going to have L.A. stuff. shavedmonkey at roadrunner dot com

By the way, I saw the Deadbeats recently at the Masque anniversary recently at the Echoplex and they were amazing. The Eyes were also better than when I was a kid. Sometimes 30 years experience can be a benefit if you play punk rock.

Several people have expressed interest in putting together playlists or contributing tracks - thanks! Big Bike Dan has confirmed his attendance on this ride.

Thanks for doing that, 'monkey . . . that's the kind of stuff we're talkin' about! A lot of my stuff from that period is on vinyl too, no time to convert it right now. I imagine BBD has a few tracks he can add if neccessary, although 49 songs (even punk rock) should fill a good amount of time.

Hey PC,

Great stuff! I have the Screamers and Germs covered, but the Rhino 39, X Early stuff), Eyes, Dickies, Middle Class and anything else Mr. Rollers and Dan doesn't have will be a fine addition. Do you have "Disneyland" by the Eyes or "I Slept In An Arcade" by Black Randy?

I have "Disneyland" by the Eyes on cassette, if anyone can transfer it to digital. Yeah, great song-"blow up Disneyland!"

Now, can you find me the performance by Little Itch? They had a song with these lyrics in the refrain:

Los Angeles is the mother
But her arms won't keep you warm
Her arms are the outskirt freeways
They'll never keep you safe from harm...

It boggles my mind that that song was never a hit, even within the punk scene. Just the refrain would have been good bumper music for a local radio talk show.

Well, my general idea was to have music from bands that played in L.A. from roughly '79-'83, which is the period covered by the photo show we'll be riding to. The Minutemen were definetely part of that, plus there's a big photo of them in the show and Watt's Missingmen are playing that night, so bring on the Minutemen, yes!

Great list PC, if you have away of getting some of those files to BBD that would be most excellent.

Pedro is LA. And there was a lot of crossbreeding and intermingling between the OC, LA and Hollywood scenes. LA punk was definitely a car-based culture; piling into somebody's car and driving 30-40 miles to see a show every weekend was a very common thing.

Thanks to all who came out for the ride. I had an excellent time myself; very cool picking up riders along the way. I know that (photographer) Ann Summa appreciated our attendance at the closing.

I'll try to figure out a way to make that playlist available to those that are interested; too much effort went into it for it to be wasted.

Rollers, that was so cool! Perhaps in the spring it would be fun to put together a ride that went to some of the locations you identified. Maybe a weekend day time ride or something. The way things are going, and the way LA loves to perserve it's history [joke], the history of the LA scene is going to be all but lost in the upcoming decades.

I wish I'd made it, nice to meet you at the Toy Ride Mr Rollers.

Due to family illnesses I ended up in Chinatown and then the alley behind Mr T's.

Amazing ride Mr. Rollers! Thanks for setting it up. I got see a lot of old frineds at the show who weren't on the ride, but who knows, maybe some will join us on the next one.

Hey Rollers or anyone else,

When we were at Track 16, there was some dude that mentioned something about his Joy Division ticket. I didn't hear what he said and I didn't have a chance to ask him about it. What did he say about his Joy Division ticket?

He still has his ticket for the Joy Division concert that would have happened at the Starwood, had Ian Curtis lived and the US tour taken place.

Damn.

Hey, has anybody seen either of the recent Joy Division-related movies?

Is 24 Hour Party People worth renting???
