SF HARDCORE HITS L.A. -- "PLASTIC SURGERY DISASTERS" ON TOUR.
PIC INFO: SpHITSguht on vocalist/lyricist Jello Biafra & guitarist East Bay Ray of San Francisco-based hardcore punk band DEAD KENNEDYS, performing live at the Whisky, Sunset Blvd., L.A., on July 4, 1982. TSOL and BUTTHOLE SURFERS opened.
"The Whisky was my favorite venue to shoot at. Plus it was close to my house. My dad would drop me off early enough to walk in and hang out. Being a 16 year old, nobody ever noticed me milling around upstairs. I’m still convinced that people thought I was someone’s kid."
-- ALISON BRAUN (L.A.-based '80s punk rock photographer)

It’s my headcannon that the Bad Kids (+company) all collectively made an agreement NEVER to tell Jawbone about what they saw in the nightmare forest because Jawbone would 100% sit them down and attempt to have a full therapy session that takes like 12 hours with each of them.
