"I got real good at talking to promoters or hall owners. They’d ask, ‘What kind of music do you play?’ I’d say, ‘Oh, it’s a rock group and a little bit of jazz in there.’ That’s a trick — the ‘jazz’ word is always useful when you’re stopped by police or authorities."Many fine articles in the Weekly's annual music supplement, especially this one about the early days of L.A.'s definitive hardcore band.
