NOTES ON VENUE: As one of the few consistent venues on the Westside, The Music Machine predominately hosted punk gigs in the early ‘80s but they weren’t adverse to booking bands of different genres on the same bill. Slayer was remembered to have played there with local rockabilly favorites The Blasters in the mid-80s. NOTES ON BANDS:CHANNEL 3 [aka CH3] A punk rock band from Cerritos CA, USA, established 1980. [THE on flyer, but it should be dropped] JONESES - (from the Internets):"The Joneses is a hard rock/sleaze rock band from Los Angeles, California, USA, that was formed in 1982.Out of all the rock ‘n’ roll sleaze bands in Hollywood during the 1980s, The Joneses are recognized as coming first and being the toughest and most honest of them all. This no-nonsense group of trash rockers, led by the charismatic Jeff Drake, were a hot-blooded mix of the New York Dolls, Ramones and Eddie Cochran - too glam for punk and too punk for rock. If the term “trashy rock ‘n’ roll” could only apply to one band, The Joneses would take the label in spades.Their music was raw and powerful, their style a mix of their predecessors. They lived the sleazy rock ‘n’ roll life like they invented it, with clever songs about pills, booze, chicks and decadence. The Joneses brought their own definition of cool to the table, youthful yet timeless, fierce yet endearing, and drugged up and drunk the whole time. Their music was pure punk fueled rock ‘n’ roll aggression, sung with ‘50s style melody but coming hard with ‘80s Los Angeles aggression. Unfortunately, The Joneses had all the right parts but were not recognized for being the unique forbearers they were. To say these rockers were cool wouldn’t be saying enough. They were the symbol of cool on the Hollywood strip, and they were what rock ‘n’ roll was and is really about. No fake posturing or false chic – they were the real deal, the real sleaze with the real sound of the street. Founder and only constant member was principal song writer, lead singer and Les Paul junior guitarist Rev Jeff Drake; Professor Paul Mars Black on drums between time in the Mau-Maus and LA Guns; Dr Scott Franklin played bass between rampaging with the Mau-Maus and joining the Cramps; Mr. Johnnie Sage joined post Christian Death and pre-Mau-Maus. This group of players were members 1983-1984 when The Joneses could be found giggling in and out of LA/Hollywood clubs like The Music Machine, Club Lingerie and myriad other venues every weekend. They were voted Best Live Band in 1984 LA Weekly reader's poll. Screamin' Sirens - All-girl punk band with outstanding fashion-forward attitude and some cool releases [after this early gig]. Tourists - Unknown; probably not Red Cross - they had changed from 'The Tourists' over a year earlier. T.O.M.O.I. - unknown ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please view carefully all photographic scans included, which are of the actual item in the listing -These are an important part of the description.
