Eastside Punks -- A Screening and Conversation

Celebrate the release of three documentary shorts produced by Razorcake magazine about first-generation East L.A. punk bands. Excerpts are screened, followed by an explosive panel featuring Eastside Punks director Jimmy Alvarado and musicians Tracy “Skull” Garcia (Thee Undertakers), Teresa Covarrubias (The Brat), and Jack Rivera (Stains)-who played storied L.A. punk venues such as The Vex and the Hong Kong Café alongside influential bands such as The Plugz, X, and Black Flag. The conversation was moderated by Dino Everett, archivist for Eastside Punks and the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
This event was recorded on April 22, 2021, and was presented by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative as part of the L.A. Times Festival of Books; and co-sponsored by the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Razorcake, and La CASA.

Thanks for making this available since I had to miss the original screening. I was really touched and inspired by Teresa saying that she was hurt by people's criticism of her back in the day, but then realized that going out and performing despite the insults was the epitome of punk!
