The Weirdos were a punk rock band from Los Angeles. They formed in 1976 and broke up in 1981, were occasionally active in the 1980s, and recorded new material in the 1990s.They were originally an art rock band formed in 1976, and were featured in a news article focusing on punk rock groups in Time magazine, and so the "punk" label stuck. Legal Weapon was a punk band from Los Angeles, formed in 1980 by vocalist Kat Arthur and guitarist Brian Hansen from the ashes of The Silencers.They stuck around and had numerous releases through the 1990s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please view carefully all photographic scans included, which are of the actual item in the listing -These are an important part of the description.
