The most notable of the movies was Roger Cormans cult classic The Wild Angels plus Devils Angels, The Glory Stompers (Dennis Hopper) and Born Losers (the film that introduced the character Billy Jack). Some of the other 60s B films were Riot On Sunset Strip, Thunder Alley, The Angry Breed, Mary Jane, Teenage Rebellion, Hellcats, Mondo Hollywood, The Wild Racers, Wild in The Streets, The Golden Breed, Skaterdater and The Hard Ride. - bio Davie Allans musical legacy is described in Wikipedia Allans most notable contribution is the creation of the fuzz sound. While Link Wray was the pioneer of guitar distortion, Allan pushed it to a new level, distorting his signal so much as to give his guitar tone a buzzing, grinding quality: “fuzzy.” Guitar sounds along similar lines would become a staple of 1970s rock and Allans penchant for extreme, heavy, noisy guitar work displayed on tracks like Devils Rumble, Cycle-Delic and King Fuzz presaged 1980s acts like Sonic Youth.[citation needed] Allan is also notable for being what has been called the missing link between surf music and the likes of garage rock, 1960s punk and whacked-out[editorializing] psychedelia. By fusing the simple, clean, guitar-focused musicianship of surf with these heavier, tougher, more vocal-centric styles, Allan, in his own manner, helped pave the way for the guitar hero idiom of rock music that dominated the 1970s and 1980s. - Wikipedia Davie Allan has put out over 100 records since 1963 and here is a historic chance to see him at Cafe NELA. davieallan/ 7PM THE INSECT SURFERS INSECT SURFERS were originally formed in the summer of 79 in Washington, D.C., after guitarist David Arnson envisioned a new Surf Band for the modern era that combined elements of psychedelic rock, 60s instrumentals, and punk rock energy. Dave moved to Los Angeles in 1985 and have been playing around town and around the world since then. Because they never split up since the 70s the Insect Surfers are considered planet Earths longest running modern surf band. insectsurfers/ 6PM 3 BALLS OF FIRE are a surf guitar band that formed in Austin, Texas in 1987 by Mike Vernon. They perform around California and Texas as well as forming the rhythm section of The Arrows. 3ballsoffire/ $8 21+ https://youtube/watch?v=mVVaROqWyyw
