At the Miss Bitchin California Contest, Stardust Ballroom, Hollywood, 1978, as captured by Mike Murphy.

The Screamers and the Weirdos appeared with San Francisco's Crime and the Controllers at one of the biggest punk gigs. The high ticket price of this event at the Stardust Ballroom, and the somewhat misleading promotional devices for the show (being advertised as having a "bitchin van ... bitchin tan" contest), left many of the punk purists wondering what the hell Brendan Mullen, the concert organizer, was up to.

BATTLE OF THE BANDS (Stardust Ballroom)

Dynamite rock 'n' roll party! Neatest van! Neatest tan! Fun! Fun! Fun! They were lined up, three deep, down to the end of the block. Five dollars a head, it was a sell-out. Newspaper, radio and word-of-mouth brought fireworks to the Stardust Ballroom on the 3rd of July. Another Masque production - a battle of the bands: The Weirdos shook 'em up, but the Screamers woke 'em up; the Controllers went outta and Crime paid.

All our favorite punk bunnies were there - the popsicle-haired girls from K-Mart, skeeks from the Valley, surfer scum, pop rockers and shutterbugs. (Even R-13 was there.) GIs, spineheads in their Frankenstein suits, guys from Thai Town, a Bay City Roller, and Wet covergirl Sheila, a Miss Bitchin' finalist.

First up: The Controllers. "Bubbling under..." They shook the dance trophies off the wall. Living at the Masque defines them. The muscle on Kid Spike sez it all - this is the hardest working band in town.

Then came Crime: The greatest thing on hangars. Right off the set of "Police Story" for the soundcheck, "Grease" for the show. Outcall models from San Francisco, dashing out Rent-A-Chord haikus.

Twin spotlights on: The Weirdos. We sank our teeth into . . . the kitchen clutter. The screwballs of Catfish Row. John Denny hypnotizin', energizin', terrorizin'. (Sex has come in the guise of Bruce Barf.) They were thick, fast and jumpy - a sock of wet confetti. How many guitars? I counted 20 - they blew the fuse four times and still kept my little sister twistin'.

Only one would wear the crown: Miss Bitchin' California. A brutal, dehumanizing meatrack. Lobotomy's Pleasant won hands, feet, and face down.

They played two feet higher: Tied to no trend, progressing beyond the law. The Screamers - one year later - have become caged icons of their former selves. Tomata's tight-bodied, shorthand contortions, the whack attach of his voice. Tommy Gear throwing his body around like a mallet in a rubber room. Their set was a model of surgical efficiency, ice on the bare wires of tension. In the pit beneath Tomata's teeth, the audience, like iguanas, slithered faster to the cold beat.

As the crowd screamed for more Screamers, Orrin Tucker was dialing the riot squad. Brendan announced, "God, that's punk!" - someone had just torched the men's room...”

Hello Y'all! There must be odds that explain being in the right place at the right time. It isn't often that we are so the odds are definitely stacked against us but, those moments when we are present at the exact time and place that benefits us most are truly special. I was on vacation last week and decided to head to Princeton Record Exchange. I met up with @latebloomer201 who explained they were backed up on collections. They were nice enough to let me go through a small stack of Punk 7-inches they recently acquired. All the vinyl was VG+ or better but many of the sleeves have some issues. I am OK with that. The stack was only about 7-inches high but included eight of the Dangerhouse releases, of which I only needed three. More importantly, there was a super clean copy of my number one Hardcore want, The Germs "Lexicon Devil." I had given up on ever finding a copy, making this one of the best record collecting moments ever. The remainder were all want list records; Iggy "I Got A Right" with the picture sleeve, both Controllers 7-inches, Simpletones "I lIke Drugs," Zeros "Wild Weekend," The Undertones UK Sire "Teenage Kicks," The Isleys with Jimi Hendrix, and Wynona Harris "Good Rockin' Tonight." Hear these and more Sunday, August 21 for Sunday Matinee at Lo-Fi in Jersey City Heights. #primitivesoundsystem #vinylrules #vinyljunkie #vinyl45s #RareRecords #recordcollection #recordcollector #7inches #TheGerms #TheZeros #TheControllers #IggyPopAndTheStooges #TheAvengers #BlackRandyandTheMetrosquad #AlleyCats #IsleyBrothers #WynonaHarris https://www.instagram.com/p/ChD7VopMbnq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
