Early L.A. punk rock band who didnt use fancy things like guitars. Never released any records. Any fans here?

Anyone got any mp3's or whatever of demos?

Think Germs-esque, only noisier and synth driven (albeit, some of the scrappyiest sounding synth I've ever heard - like an overdriven guitar that's been dropping acid).

Not only have I got MP3s of most of their demo material, but Gilbert Switzer - heirs to the noisy, scrappy, menacing tradition ("you'll never get out alive, at the KEY SWAPPING PARTY MASACRE!") - are from my home town. You'd probably like them.

Even though the last post in this thread was two years ago, with the advent of YouTube, I can now share the screamers performance with everyone. The videos show they are more creative than you can appreciate with just sound. It's like theatre!
