Perkins had a lot of great shows over the years. Including Motley Crue.

Year I graduated High School, but we were headed up to the Whisky on the Sunset Strip in those days to see Motley Crue!
I roadied for them occasionally. Didn’t care for the glam metal scene but it brought you chicks. My best friend’s roommate sold them a little something something so I got to know them.

My first show was Misfits at the whiskey. Fuck I was scared lol. The night started with the cops catching us at the top of the hill behind the Whiskey. We were drinking Lucky Lager and they made us dump everyone out while they tried to figure out the riddles on the caps.

Yep. That was a bit of a drive from the IE. I was more of an Olympic Auditorium or CooKoos Nest frequenter.
CooKoos nest of Costa Mesa next to Zuby's??????

Yes sir! Fights with cowboys 😂
Ya, I had a couple run-ins with those weirdos from the nest!! Especially after drinking qts and eating ribs at Zuby's. What was that early 80's I think.

For us it was Bookies and Clutch Cargos in Detroit. May have seen Black Flag around ‘80, and a bunch of other bands that never made it.

Why leave the IE when you could've went to the barn or spankys to see the same shows? GBH, Youth of today, Minor threat, Uncle slam, Agent orange, total chaos, and so many more!!

Been to Spankys too. Actually met my wife there. Just a quick introduction then met her again several years later at my work. Been together since then. Punk rock love story 🤣

39 years ago, I was lounging in the pool, trying to relax before I started school in the fall. Older siblings told me it was going to be tough...

Of course, the pool was a plastic wading pool with Snoopy, and I was buckling down for kindergarten...that first year kicked my ass 😂

We are in an orchestra pit; he’s on the outside. It was an old theatre from back in the day. The stage to the bottom of the orchestra pit was an easy nine feet which makes the flip even more impressive. Big balls to do it and hurt like hell to be landed on. A buddy of mine, Mohawk Mike, hit his head on the floor and immediately started puking bile. Never saw him again after helping drag him outside to the cops.

Right on, that's crazy ass pic.

Carrying it on to the next gen...my 17-year old daughter's Jeep.

Hah! I went on a first date with my (now) wife to Spanky's!

Hey BTR - where is that taco place you posted up a couple of weeks back?

It happens. I remember my mom freaking out because she saw me with my shirt off after a show. Right square in the middle of my back was a bruise of a doc marten boot print. I had no idea how I got it. All my bottom teeth are still chipped to this day.

Was totally into hardcore punk back in the late 70’s & 80’s. Kids got me this shirt for my birthday last week.

That shirt is dead on right! LOL

Whenever a good band would play at Ventura Theatre over the past 10 years and I was working I'd roll in and stand in the back and watch. ;) 👍


I was a product of Nard Core in Oxnard. I'll Repute, Dr. Know, RKL, Rat Pack, Aggression Staulic 13....Also favorties from down south, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, 7 Seconds, etc.

My tool box.
