There was a little circuit - The Sunset Strip, The Gold Coast (Oxnard-Ventura-SB), The Valley. There was a tight "family" of bands making the circuit:

Ventura County Reporter - The Life & Death of the Ventura County Music Scene

Great memories.

Amazingly, my teeth all survived intact!

Thanks for the link to the article. +1

It's only in the past year that I had even heard the term, "nardcore."

Dr. Know had such a big presence in L.A. that I always assumed that they were an L.A. band.

Wait. I know ST was often associated with acts like Dr. Know (also Beowulf) but I'm sure they were L.A. (Venice) all the way; not nardcore. It's hard to overstate how awesome Suicidal's self-titled album was: "I Saw Your Mommy" and "I Shot the Devil" (Reagan, actually).

Nice collection of flyers, Charles. Gotta love the Raymond Pettibon artwork. Did you pick these up or are they from ebay?

I have a mini-collection myself, although they skew towards the early speed-metal scene.

One of my prizes is a beautiful, graduated-green colored flyer for X; The Dickies; Jane's Addiction at CSUN. I have a couple other colored flyers. They all fade from one color to another--were they all printed by the same company?

Other bands associated with Suicidal Tendencies were Excel and No Mercy.

The Waters Club in San Pedro was pretty cool (saw Dark Angel there).

All those flyers I acquired myself at shows. When you went to shows there were always people handing out flyers for upcoming shows. I saw many bands at CSUN (I was a student there in the early 1980s) also Godzillas in Sunland (I think) and tons of places in Hollywood like Florentine Gardens and lots of small venues on side streets. I remember seeing TSOL (maybe it was Wasted Youth, now I forget) at Alpine Village in Torrance. I saw the Adolescents and the Ramones at Perkins Palace in Pasadena. Some some other bands at the Country Club in Reseda.

When Black Flag played at Devonshire Downs, I sort of helped them set up, simple stuff like running their cables. I chatted with Chuck Dukowski the bassist - he seemed the most "normal", and when I met Henry Rollins he was sleeping on the dirty floor of the building wearing only a pair of dirty jeans and Vans. He was quite thin then. They had this old white POS van with the Black Flag logo painted on the side.

I didn't realize Jane's Addiction went that far back, but from Wikipedia it looks like they go back to 1985.
