Was thereand most of the shit this guy said is bogus! Everyone wasn't doing cociann and people actually listen to the music. We didn't dance because it was loud but because we felt the music, it was good music. This just makes us all seem like low lifes. Don't call everything a drunk just cause youu see one.

New generation. The scene is welcoming but as recent comments have said its not the same. Grew out of it 6 years ago because I planned to mature get a good job, finish college, and just be an adult. In all my years of being to gigs I have never seen one person bust a yayo line! Yeah you might drink and smoke some weed but so what majority of adults now a days have done that shit once in their teen days! The scene isn't the same as in 04. Thats when it was a true unity of punks! Not some lil teenagers thinking their hard shit know it alls. Yep I grew up and some will say I sold out but at least I keep the music in my heart! East Los Drunk Punks will always be a great memory from making close friends to meeting my wife. And kids that say this is selling them out its nothing new to people if its 1 year ago to 20 years ago!

also i find it funnyhow people always refer to 'being a family" but when outsiders come to shows they are immediately not greeted or even looked down upon. you might be cool with your family, but to me anyone who is looking to have a good time and not be an asshole deserves to at least be acknowledged. I dont understand how every one who tweeted some shit about this story calls it a good story. A good story tells something that was previously unknown and interesting.... it just doesnt drop names... there is no brief mention about what this scene means to these kids or anyone for that matter. Punk rock kept this kid alive and created a family when there was none. seems there is just a bunch of name/ego stroking and descriptions of your Stereotypical punkrocker.

Union 13 is a great band and they still play in E. LA!

Wow, neighbors must love these. what a bunch of fools, no originality, trying to dress like its 1982, blehhh. no wonder east la is such a sh#thole. pave it over!

its no wonder the author is so focused on this type of venue. he's only 21 and its might be all he is familiar with in his short punk rock lifespan. there were alot more places before this place and will be after. the only difference is that there is free reign to do whatever at backyards until someone fucks it up permanently. there are more people who do a lot for the scene so stop picking favorites just because you can get high and drunk at their house and the shows are cheap. besides some of the older generations who have done alot for the scene are no longer seen cuz a lot have other eissues such as being incarcerated or being responsible for their families that they probably created during their anti authoritarian days. just because one person has a spot where shows are and says "fuck the system" doesnt mean that they are doing so much for the scene... take a note from one of my homies who ran an all ages backyard show for over 2 1/2 yrs until someone died in front of his house of a drug and alcohol overdose. jkust because there isnt any authority and free reign to get fucked up doesnt always mean this defines a scene... at least not mine.

Why are you exploiting us?? And for real everyone needs to stop giving Nacho credit for everything. That foos not the only one that keeps this scene alive! Only the real punks do! Cause all that foo wants is fame, and all his homies gfs, he does everyone dirty, he starts peddo in other neighborhoods over dumb things. All the drama theses foos start is killing the fun. Go home Nacho, and figure your shit out.

Mr. Cabral I suggest you Get your facts straight and focus on the positive and How Creative and Resourceful the flourishing Backyard Party Scene is in East L.A./Boyle Hieghts and surrounding areas., your article was a Breath of Fresh Air and not about Echo Park/Silverlake!. The Drugs and age of Participants should remain anonymous unless they agree in writing., Cover your ass!, "The Zoo" does play occasional Backyard Parties and as you Know are not a "PUNK" band, however maybe do the follow up of the Bands from the EASTSIDE who do play in clubs! IE: ZOO,DELERIANS,UPGROUND,MOONDOG ORCHESTRA,BLOODHOUNDS KILL PILLS AND SANTOROS!.....who by the way came from that Punk scene...OH Yeah! the Eastside is not S.C.L.A...its the Barrio! not the Ghetto! , one thing inspite of EASTSIDES Financial Demographic We are not "Ghetto Egocentric" Yet Proud of the History/Traditions that the Bands and its followers that continue to keep alive in the EASTSIDE!...RAGE-ON! I'm "ANTIKOOL" a 5th generation Xicano Eastsider who played those backyards with Butt Acne,Peace Pills, Ollin,Glasspacks!, and I'm Proud of it!...

Rock and Roll as punk, great! How are these drunken mindless backyard shows going to bring change?

The other day, I heard about things called "raves". They seem pretty crazy. I think that would be an excellent follow-up piece.

Nice! Backyards are always great! Thrash/Death/Black Metal/Punk/Ska/Grindcore/ Powerviolence, PsychoBilly shows Kick ass! some of the last forms of Soul in Rock n Roll. L.A. remains to keep the reputation to have the biggest & craziest scenes!!! Slam Dancing at shows always brings a spiritual/Tribal self empowered feel. See you at the next show!

I liked the Articles...dont go to much punk gigs myself...mostly go to the Thrash, grindcore gigs...but pretty much the same concept...nice to read something that usually stays in the underground and from someone who has been experienced, actually goes and hosted backyard gigs! and yes I agree, this year there are a lot of backyard gigs more than last year!!

Finally the Weekly includes an article about the Eastside and they're not talking about Silverlake or Echo Park...the article is actually about the real Eastside--East LA

you know, this might seem pretty cool if it didn't involve underrage kids doing cocaine.... thats sad and pathetic

nite was happennghahaha

hahaha i remember that night! got any more pictures?

F'n Spex!! Digging it!!

Wish I was cool enough, or in the scene enough, to see, i think they're called, Cerebelo Negra.
