The Spunky Onions meet The Ghetto Berries (1979)

    You may know the A-side of this release, "How I Lost My Virginity,  from a Messthetics 2.  That's where I first heard it and fell in love.  After searching for some time I finally found a copy, and there was no disappointment on the B-side.  It is great as well.  Not much is known on this release, but supposedly both bands had the same members.  A guaranteed party in every song.

Enjoy,

Penguins - California Lifestyle and Plastic Cure (1981)

    Now we have some Bay Area new wave/synth punk.  Don't let the saxophones on the cover fool you--this one is a lot of fun, especially the song "Plastic Cure" on the B-side.  I don't have much information on this band except it was put out on Donkey Records in 1981.  Any more info would be greatly appreciated.

      Here is a Santa Cruz punk classic and considered Santa Cruz's first punk band.  They were known as The Realtors for a short period before a lawsuit from the National Association of Realtors.  Here is their first EP, before they changed their name and changed it back.

Have fun,
