Flipside Video GOLDENVOICE Loop 1980s

So now this is for free viewing on my YouTube Channel at the end of the post.

Here’s a fun look back at the awesome bands that “Flipside Video” filmed at GOLDENVOICE shows in the ’80s. Gary Tovar hit me up to create a loop, and I just grabbed whatever was close by to pull together something super entertaining.

It’s got that punk vibe that defined an entire era of music and artistic expression! Sure, the colors are all over the place and it’s a bit fuzzy sometimes with those crazy stage lights, but it totally sounds amazing, capturing the raw energy and chaotic essence of live performances.

You can really catch that youthful energy as the crowd bounces in unison, fists in the air, and the music blasts through the venue, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that still resonates today.

Each band brought their unique flair, making the footage a true time capsule of punk rock’s vibrant history and the spirit of rebellion that thrived during those exhilarating times!

How it once was when we were a little more out of control and actually had a very tight scene. I am immensely proud of what is presented here as most likely my last creative endeavor to preserve the Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine narrative.

Flipside Video include Al Flipside, Pooch, Gus Hudson, Joe Henderson, Joy Akoi, and yours truly. Also, sidekicks Gary Indiana and John Crawford.

A lot of work for the Flipside Crew. We often showed up early as the bands were sound checking, to leave after all the crowd had gone.

Yet to hang with the bands and the GOLDENVOICE crew contains some of my most endearing memories. Brought together via my home studio and long hours of editing. An emotionally rewarding experience for me…as punk rock needs to be.

It is a time when the punk scene still had the glamour and enthusiasm of a gleeful youth and was so charming. I miss the intimacy of this scene profoundly so. I know it can be found still and yes, I can still find it now and then. Be More than a witness, as we use to say….
